This was what I thought of this pair on Sunday. Having witnessed the leg down, I re-analysed my charts and now think that there is a great opportunity for a significant bounce as currently 1/ (C) almost equals (A); 2/ the last wave down is a clear 5 wave pattern with iv wave triangle breakout already completed. So either the last 5 wave sequence from 1.3530 is the last leg down, or it is wave 1 of a higher degree - in both cases a correction is needed. As I write this the market is testing the lower triangle line on the hourly chart.

Especially meeting up with the 20 DAY Moving Average at the same time.. I think a stop at 1.8954 (20 Pips Below Yesterday's Low of 1.8974) would be just fine, I don't think price will get past there, but if does I don't think it will get past the major bottom at 1.8890 after ... I assume it will take a few weeks to a month to reach a new high and I also think it's got the ability to travel much higher after... I think the best way to trade this is to go long now with a target on half the position at the previous high of 2.1115 and manually trail a stop on the other half of the position leaving it plenty of room to bounce around on the ascent.

As for what affects these pairs.. Who cares ! It's all in the chart... It's An Easily Defined Up Trend At A Pull Back To The 20 Day Moving Average On The Daily Daily Chart With A Confirmed Candlestick Reversal Visible On The Chart... That's Bullish Enough For Me
Yea , Ive been reading your post since August, decided to register in September. I dont post a lot cos Im in the learning stage and I rather prefer to watch and learn from all you guys rather than make some noise in the forums.

Its real nice to hear how confident you are regarding your calls. I really hope to be a confident trader one day.. Lol , Like they say in the Sopranos - " More harm comes out of indecision rather than wrong decision " Thanks again and keep the great work going on :-)

Brad, I'm hoping your scenario plays out, but Im not sure how the market (DOW) can calm down in these 2 days. The usd/jpy just touched below 97 as we speak. If it does end up at about 95, would you still short into the next week?

I was short since yesterday on EURUSD, EURJPY and GBPUSD and closed them out with 400+ pips profit. (small profit but nonetheless).
I think we are at v of III of 5 on these pairs and should see a retrace in form of IV of 5.
Wait for the peak to go short again.
The 38.2% retrace for EURUSD is around 3030. For GBPUSD 6500 and EURJPY is around 132.
All rallies are against the trend, so be carefull with longs on these pairs.

I am also expecting a wave iv on the USDJPY now, we should stay below 100, then 1st target is 96.50 and 2nd target is 92.10.

I couldnt agree more with you. At the moment wave 1/A has the form of a leading diagonal. For me the crucial point will be 1.3881. If we dont penetrate it then we will have one more leg down which will complete a 5wave sequence. If we penetrate it then it means that this correction was an A-B-C (and it would be already completed).

hi, this is the graph I have been using for EUR/JPY, i made it at about 8am and been using it since:

not a complete count, but short term to get the Wave 5, that is the initial target of wave 5.

Thank you Lu, that is my count as well. Its trading almost identical to the EURUSD at this moment.

Great count, freelancer.
I would only add that there is a chance that one more low is needed.
I put it here as the top count, because i haven't seen the wave (5) completed yet. However, there is also a small chance that the decline is over (a kind of ending diagonal in the place of wave (5)) but this chance is pretty small at the moment.

Hi Tank .. Looks like I was wrong to expect a bounce upward in USDJPY.. I thought it would come back up higher, but it looks now like Major Support near the 100.00 zone has finally given way... I would short anywhere now... And just be vigilant about looking out for swings higher that could wipe you out. First Target is at 87.00 .. Beyond that 80.00 is another long term target..

Globalization is here to stay. we might like it or not, but we cannot change it.
Further, from historical perspective we are reaching a pinnacle of integration that was startred 1000 years ago. First you had villages, then city-states, then tribes, then nations, then confederations, now super-nations (like EU or NAU).
Common currency will come, Euro is just the beginning, Amero will be next, then Aseana.
Next question, whether central bankers are manipulating the markets. EW speaking, we are entering wave C now. Bottom of wave C is supposed to happen in 2012. Central banks might have limited influence, but they cannot change the wheel of history.
One of the most influential private banker dinasty, the Rockefellers had friendship with Aaron Russo filmmaker. It's worth a watch what does he say about the globalization, private banks and also amero. So Nick Rockefeller years ago already revelaed the secret currency to Aaron.
