Where is a link to the printing in Japan? If that is happening I would buy U/JPYen and GBP/Yen

So what a plan should be for today? Buy? Because tomorow Japan will expand printing? Sell? Because fiscal cliff is over?

Looks like it hit the daily pivot and bounced a bit - probably another entry to come chart is Aussie D1

Anyone trading KIWI AND AUSSIE? They look like they might have the technical steam to further break north. Thinking of getting long aussie again if there is pullback. Ottherwise again from a technical standpoint, dont have a chart right now, it looks like aussie has established support after last push up and is ready for a further break perhaps to .0600 first.

I'ts harder as you go lower, learn the daily and you can trade it all "well basically" but learn the daily first.

one thing i have learned from trying to trade Gold is its very hard under the daily time frame.

If you like the Aussie then go long AUD/JPY and you'll also earn $2.0869 US$ per day per $25,000 lot in carry which is as much as you can make without playing the exotics. I prefer to enter on pull-backs though so I'm looking at Euro and Pound pairs today.

Other than that the new Japanese government plans heavy currency devaluation, I hadn't read anything about it becoming official tomorrow, but I hadn't been reading a lot of Forex news recently. It's not on any calendar but that's not unusual for Japanese announcements.

Regardless, like the Fed's Q-Unlimited, the market has already priced it in for the most part so the reaction to any official reaction, including the metals, will likely be muted.

If you're trading daily I have AUD/USD right at a decision point. Top indigo line goes back to the high in 2011. RSI has left support so I'd use the 14/40 EMA, opening range, or break out strategies for an entry point.

Gold-wise (yes, I know this is a metal forum) my target decision point is $1670 -- 100% retrace of yesterday's move, pivot line going back to May, and pretty obvious resistance (now support) trend line over the past week; though where gold is right now between $1675-$1678 is support/resistance going back to May as well as being the 23.6% retracement of the full move down to $1635 but the US open in a few minutes should (hopefully) clarify which way gold is heading.

If you are not scalping it might be prudent to get this shortened holiday week out of the way - NFP tomorrow.....

Nice charts KM, i have the same set up.
What do u think about a shorting @ $1690, SL @ 1705. TP1@ 1665, TP2 @ 1655?
You certainly made the right call. Well done. I was too tired to trade today or I might have joined you, though with slightly different targets.

I took my $10 break out to the upside yesterday then exited, including my buy-and-hold triple ETFs (NUGT, UGLD, USLV) which I'd decided to place a stop-loss on just in case. This insomnia must end so I can start trading again. (I won't trade tired -- it always ends up badly for me.)

I used to get insomnia when I was in the military. Down a couple Nyquil with a few beers. That'll knock ya out.

Me too, not Euro just GBP and Aussie.

I think this MIGHT be a sufficient pullback zone to enter long both pairs. Cable is certainly oversold.

But, look at the further dip on Aussie in the two dailies below.

I have added the trade on a demo for fun. I may go in live though if I like what I see.

Gold just looks confused by this three day line chart..

Oh and attached a cable idea also. These are both bullish only view scenarios using normal buying patterns with one big push in each,
(in the cable chart I had outlined support and resistance for a 420 pip range. Guess where the price is now! SmACK dab in the middle appx 200 off the top orange line where it was last rejected before the big dip, being that on a great day cable can clear 200 pips,IDK there may be a very low risk high reward trade here.

See the lines on the charts for exlanation.

The stop is obvious and that might try to get run, well below the ----- yelo line. Now, there also could be a head fake north, run on stops, then a huge reversalll day, all just ideas. Please excuse spelling and grammer errors if ay in this post, looking at chart while typing.

Now obviously the alternate to all this is a continued push down before a bottom forms likely in the area of old support.

I don't understand your post, you start off as if you have a firm bias, mention something about bonds and 2012, then make a claim, and No 20 USD is a healthy trading day not a big loss that would be several hundred in a week. not one over many,

Then you leave off with a question mark. SO are you trying to ask something or tell something, if you are telling us what are you basing this analysis on, the fact that we are in a 10 year bull cycle?

Some FOMC members want to end the $85 billion/month bond buying program before the end of 2013 and there was also talk of raising interest rates earlier than anticipated. Apparently FOMC members discussing alternatives is now tantamount to "actually going to happen" and this is why the dollar suddenly surged and gold fell yesterday at 2pm when the FOMC minutes were released.

I think this is a "shake off" the longs and maybe some profit takings before NFP & unemployment rate being released today...

Usually Feds want dollar to be weak, but yesterdays FOMC meet made dollar stonger and from last couple of month we could see employment report being manipulated, So we can get real employment report today which might help Gold to go bull.

Spot Euro gold looks like its targeting the June/Dec low of €1238 which is about another €20 drop, or the May low of €1202 (also the 27.2% Fibonacci extension) which is roughly a €60 drop, the latter more-or-less lining up with $1560 for US spot gold where the 61.8% extensions sits as well as being clear support. The May low stands below as the last line of defence before this "correction" becomes a genuine change in trend.

We'll see shortly if $1635 holds as that's where gold is as I write this.
