dont blur me leh.... now, i get it.... ;)

for USD/JPY to crash through 80...it will mean that jpy/usd will be at 0.0125

this is even higher than it's recent high of 0.012075

said differently, you are saying you expect Yen to recover all of last week's losses and gain some more ?

in short, you think JPY is poised to continue its rally and what happened last week was a kneejerk reaction of japanese government's fx intervention?

tio bo?

Yes, the vultures know that the Japanese government dont have unlimited resources and is going solo on this one.

So when they decide to whack the Japanese, it will go through 0.80 easily.

How about 78 as the first stop ? ;)

Why not flip the question?

What is needed for USD to go up...such that JPY can go down?
1. Always wait for the setup. NO SETUP; NO TRADE

2. The trend will END but I don't know WHEN.

The rate of exchange used to be determined by trade.

However, in this case, it's purely due to speculation.

If you are a currency trader, would you be betting that the Yen will go up or down, especially when it went down last week, due to some intervention by the Japanese government ?

Dont forget that the Chinese would like to also kill two birds with one stone here:-
1) diversify their USD into something else
2) make life difficult for the Japanese exporters, even wiping them out if possible

Maybe, just maybe, they are not going solo on this one but big brother and all the other angmo bros cannot say they are in it. Currency intervention is a no no.

Yes, that could be their silver bullet. When the vultures attack, the Fed and the ECB could play some games behind the scene. However, I'm sure the Chinese are waiting and waiting to strike as well...

i have little doubt that Yen will bounce off this recent sell off.... my question is to what level will it cave downwards again....
