ยูโร / เยนญี่ปุ่นที่อัปเดต:

EURJPY - Continuation (from previous post)

(This is the continuation of the previous post - attached - which became overly long.)

Currently;
SHORT off of that "before last" Stop Hunt @150.125, with very tight stops (<12 pips and excellent R/R ratio), just below major resistance. This is a long term Short Entry attempt. (However, the main set up/position is in the GBPJPY, with superior R/R characteristics!)

Here is a close up;สแนปชอต

p.s. Lowered the stops to even-money because that channel is still in effect.

Took some off at the Stop Hunt for +80 pips;
สแนปชอต
Now, the rest of the position is "free & clear" with an other +30 pips locked in.
(This is a long(er) term Short e.g, manage it accordingly.) Now, one has to wait for that main channel to break (@149.00) before re-loading up on it, for good.

One is currently Short here - as explained above;
สแนปชอต
This pair is at the crossroads - whether that main channel is going to break, or not?! ... Present odds stand at 4:3 for a break (based on current positioning).
บันทึก
Nice, clean channel break here ...
สแนปชอต
... opening up to the intermediate target @148.70. (Then probably a pull back to the lower channel bound before continuing to 146.70, and then finally to 144.00, the ultimate Price Target for this entire move.) Continuing with the Shorts (already +110 pips) but watch for a reaction @146.70!

Tonight's Japanese inflation numbers (expected to come in strong) would be a good apropo to start looking for a turn - i.e., a short entry.

Here is a birds eye view (Quarterly);
สแนปชอต
Not surprisingly, the rate differential was exactly the same back then as it is now. (... then the financial world collapsed. Now, it is only just rapidly changing although this quarter does qualify as the second largest move, so far, for this pair.)
It is worthwhile to note that Germany - the franchiser of the EU - up to now has wiped out 27 years of economic progress in just 19 short months, just as Japan is starting to snap out of it's 3 decade long slumber. Japan is also the world's largest creditor ($3.7 Trillion), bigger than China, bigger than Germany, or any other country.

Also, the most recent Japanese inflation measures fell short of expectations.
That does not mean however, that this pair could not possibly form a top somewhere around here - and soon. More importantly, just remember:
While market tops are always a process, market bottoms are singular events!
ปิดการเทรด: ถึงเป้าหมายการทำกำไร
Here, one is entering a previously well-charted territory ...
สแนปชอต
... where the world fell apart. (... Not that it's far from it now.)
Marking this move "complete" (+165 pips) as we are starting seriously to eyeball the exits! (I.e., looking to turn around - Short -, given the right opportunity. - Clearly not just, yet!)
Important Note;
With the PBC continuously (and increasingly, still!) dumping their Euro and Yen foreign reserves, either one of those will have an increasingly difficult time to stage a ally vs. the USD! Also, while the EU is mostly just talk now, jawboning up the Euro without any true substance, the BoJ is starting to get nervous in earnest, contemplating the Yen's purchasing power - Having to import virtually everything, in that country. Thus, in broad strokes;
1) The PBC (China) dumping the Euro -> positive for EURUSD Shorts;
1a) and the Yen -> positive for USDJPY Longs;
2) The BoJ's concern about Yen strength -> positive for USDJPY, EURJPY Shorts (i.e, Yen Longs;)
3) US economic strength + Rest of World economic decline = Safe Haven bids -> big plus for the USD & the Yen;
If one includes current on-balance volumes and present capital flows (and puts them all together in a nice but far from simple Bayesian matrix or into M.L.) ... The odds are shown to shift rapidly now for a sudden shift in Yen policies and the global "carry picture". E.g. Be prepared!!
Recent FX options action also point towards (in tangible terms) the above outlined direction, and while they couldn't be called cataclysmic just yet, there can be very little doubt about the general direction and speed.

It's a fair chance that this will be a Triple-Top now;

Note;
Going into next month (July) expiration, 30-days out there are significant increases (almost double) in FX Yen Calls, matched with similar gains in the end-of-July Sterling 125.00 Puts, while spot cash flows point to continued Euro weakness (inline with the potential 106 target, I have pointed to, earlier).
FX options action continue to point to much increased “fears” of a (“surprise” - Really?!) BoJ tightening - as I keep advocating it being a very real possibility!! - while Euro weakness is now being accepted as a foregone conclusion.
E.g. the Yen continues to hold the potential to shock markets (in the event of which the EURJPY will bear the brunt of it!), while there is still some “disbelief” for a sub-125.00 Sterling but (“just in case”? ;-) there is continued, brisk 125 Put buying, now outstripping the short flows in the EURUSD.
E.g., If you’ve been following any of these posts then by now you should be comfortably positioned in all the right places and with room to spare! I.e.; Short all USD base pairs - EURUSD, GBPUSD, etc - and the EURJPY; (very) LONG USDCHF and company.
Most importantly, those “Yen fears” remain just that until something actually happens - normally.
HOWEVER, considering the nature of a 30-year, $3 Trillion short position, and the necessity in such an event for global markets to cover it!…That just simply is Not something that one is very likely to get a chance to waltz in, in the middle of it, to take advantage of the moves that will prompt. E.g. Be strongly advised!!

p.s. Without any intent of beleaguering it, this is just to illustrate the above point - this was in the EURJPY;
สแนปชอต
That was the single largest Yen move (700 pips), prompted by just the hint of the BoJ "may do something" - at some future date. I.e., There, nothing really happened, yet.

If this current Stop Hunt turns out to be just that - a Stop Hunt ...

As it turns out ...

There were a couple large(r) Yen Call purchases a couple of hours ago, at the 157.50 level (however unlikely by the BoJ, as rumors would have it).

If you're playing this outright -(Short, no options) then this is a FLAT here, at best! (I'm getting seriously tired of updating this because at this moment there is just too much action in the Yen pairs ;-)

Talk about confluence! ...
สแนปชอต
Look at where this is sitting;

- At the bottom of the 2008, August gap (from where it collapsed);
- At the 127% extension of the up-leg, from the bottom;
- Just hit a 15 year Stop Hunt;
- At the top of a 3-drive that took it all the way up here;
- at the 161% extension of the most recent up-leg;
- (exactly) on the top of a 3 year regression channel.

Which way, do You think, this is gonna go?! ... ;-)

on any significant pull back. The newly found CHF strength represents more relative Euro weakness - versus the Franc - than additional fundamental CHF strength - which remains well off the charts, well beyond reason at this point!

This is rapidly becoming a "Widening Top" here;
สแนปชอต
Also, while the BoJ's previous attempts of jaw-boning up the Yen mostly failed, one ought to be mindful at this point that "surprise" direct BoJ interventions in support of the Yen would not be surprising at all! - As a matter of fact, those should be anticipated.

Not surprisingly, the DAX is displaying a very similar pattern to the EURJPY;
สแนปชอต
การซื้อขายยังคงดำเนินอยู่
Just a gentle reminder;
สแนปชอต
There are not only substantial technical hurdles to overcome here in any further upside attempts but also these are BoJ intervention levels!
Meaning; Unlike the BoJ's earlier attempts to jaw-bone up the Yen (which were mostly ineffective), here the BoJ is believably prepared to intervene directly in support of the Yen.
