Be all that as it may, eventually price action will have to keep up with what;s actually going on on the ground: stocks lower, bonds higher, yields lower, U/J lower. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. I do appreciate the excellent analysis and ...

Sorry but the numbers out of the US were not good at all. Like at all. Bond yields are not going to rise in the environment. No way.

Seems like everyone is going the wrong way. In through the out door? :?

What's been said is said, I sincerely hope new traders here do not take your advices regarding fundamentals into account, which is simply misconfusing. You still have not told me where I am wrong. You can call me names all day long but it won't ...

Thank you for your valuable input, as your analysis here is beyond reproach.

I generally don't wishy-washy much.

100.131 by the end of March.

USD/JPY Discussion

The pair is set up to go down fairly hard. If not this month (as Ken A. shows...), then the next one: Everyone knows, despite the jawboning gibberish, the BoJ is out of ammo. Stocks have returned to an all-time high and everyone knows it's on ...

USD/JPY Discussion

I hope so! _______ I am trying to figure out how your idea would work. So the Japanese people start selling bonds (but I thought the were basically mandated by the government to buy them...) and the price of bonds rises, sending yields...where, ...

USD/JPY Discussion

Okay. You're right.

USD/JPY Discussion

What makes you say that?

USD/JPY Discussion

Wow. Okay. Exam question for you then: Explain the relationship between yields on the US 10-year Treasury Note to the movement in USDJPY.

USD/JPY Discussion

Now that's funny! Thanks for the giggle. _____ Addo: And so much for the Japanese fundamentals theory. SPX coming off hard, 10-year yields falling...and so is the U/J. I knew this ramp was fake. Next week, look out below.

USD/JPY Discussion

Absolutely. And if you don't understand something, maybe I can clear it up for you. There are very many bright traders on this board (probably more in here than in any other forum in Forex Factory...), so they may be able to help, too.

USD/JPY Discussion

Greetings! And don't worry about the English. I'm sure your English is much better than my (whatever language you speak...). There are a few reasons why they are so correlated but the most important (for small retail 4X traders...) has to do with ...

USD/JPY Discussion

The idea that it is Japanese fundamentals driving the price action in the pair begs several questions: 1. Why are they defending 102 from the downside instead of pounding it down below 110? 2. Why are the 10-year yield chart and the U/J nearly ...

USD/JPY Discussion

Many thanks for that. Yes, the price action in U/J has been something of a conundrum over the past several weeks; not following the old "rules" very well. The movement in the Nikkei has also decoupled from the rest of the equity markets. Japanese ...

USD/JPY Discussion

I wouldn't get all happy about this move higher. 10-year yields are coming off with SPX Futures. Fundamentally, it makes no sense and just because they want it to doesn't mean it will sustain these higher levels. Something smells like desperation.

USD/JPY Discussion

Right out of the box, the Japanese are going to ramp it, British-style. Front-running...in desperation? Or for real? I am thinking it is going to be funny when the BoJ Minutes are released and the pair falls through the floor at Tokyo open.

USD/JPY Discussion

It's a very old stock trading pattern. Do you have access to the Internet? You should look it up. :0 The problem with this chart is that it is not a true cup with handle. Usually, the "handle" only retraces between the 12 and 38 Fibo levels relative ...
