Perhaps they are too busy to intervene
What an unusual phenomena !
Sean warned me my ‘watch’ would be quiet…..even the Wall Street Journal has resorted to the frivolous

LOL! How silly!
wow, leave it to the Japanese to do something like this lol.
Puts kind of a new twist on the phrase “hand-held device”, doesn’t it?
The western media always seem to be able to fish out these wacky nerd stories from Japan that I never see in person despite living here.
How is your Japanese fxgai? Maybe it’s fluent, but you don’t watch the news very often, or variety shows? There are some foreigners of course who have lived here literally decades and can’t speak anything but “kitchen Japanese”, and poorly at that. If one lives in Tokyo or other metro areas, it’s possible to live without Japanese, but that means living really outside of the society even while living among it. One must be *completely* literate to really know what’s going on in this society.
Hi David,
I’d leave the poor japanese for the moment to ask you about this last sessions risk currencies rally.
AUD and CAD performed very well, also EUR was well bought on dip, sterling a bit suffering but still positive.
Today we are seeing some taking profit mood, market are cautious, do you think this dip can be good for another buy?
I think 107 is still a good level on EURJPY, unless yen crosses take another hit…
I do watch news, but don’t watch (many) trashy Japanese TV shows and rarely visit Akihabara, maybe that’s where I’m going wrong
I passed level 1 of the proficiency test some years ago, so it’s perhaps it’s more for lack of interest than for lack of comprehension.
Hi Francesco The topside looks favourite at the moment. I am looking to the equity markets to show the way till NFPs then we may see continuation short term.
Careful – the charts are telling me that the BOJ will begin an intervention this session……..
A surprising number of contributors from Tokyo. My excuse to lighten up on studying was I needed to prioritize the time working on trading. Pretty convenient I’d say. Still have plenty of time for my imaginary girlfriend though…
What about the charts tells you that Loouise? FinMin Noda has not told us how closely he’s watching today so who knows maybe he silence is a sign…
fxgai: level 1 is where it’s at; you can conduct your life entirely in Japanese then. Surprised you haven’t heard about all this weird stuff, though.
However, you can watch chfjpy crumble and drag usdjpy with it. Looks like market is about to launch a frontal attack on BOJ.
Thanks David!
Loouise, the only thing I can see today, is that they have not said they are monitoring closely.
So this could mean intervention
If will be, I bet it will be after US data
Plus, shouldn’ gross domestic figure for switzerland due in several hours be the best timing to pull the trigger? lol
It has become more and more apparent that my chart settings seem to mirror those of the big players — and this pattern I see in the Yen crosses is setting up for an explosion upwards — last night someone made fun of me for saying watch out for a AudJpy short squeeze and look what happened! Nasty! I’m looking to book profits at 80.00. G’night Y’all !!!
Also watch Euro to bust the accounts of those shorts this session + Friday !!!
Hey Loouise that certainly works for me! Heck I’d be happy with 78.
Hi Hart ! I’m sure you’ll be able to squeeze out juicy pips on either side of the trade ! Hope all is well !
Very well thanks Loouise. Hope you are catching some good trading as well.Thanks for asking!
The problem Loouise is that you have called about 5 out of the last 1 short squeezes.
You have been going on about a short squeeze in USD/JPY for a couple of weeks at least.
Yeah — it was better framed towards the AudJpy — I;m more than happy to admit my incorrect calls — I should probably focus more on the AudJpy since that is what I follow……blush***
Nobody’s wrong all the time; and nobody’s right either. I just like to see people on an even keel.
Hey Loouise, hate to pop you bubble on that euro call. Cable comprises at least 1/2 of fiber and it does not look good now. If anything, cable will dump. No way fiber will rally without cable going along. Looks like your charts need fine tuning.
JJake, or perhaps cable will get pulled up by a fiber rally?
Pandu, No, I think Cable will pull down Fiber. The other component of Fiber is EUR/GBP. That is also waning.
wow, I am proud of you jjack you got it all
cheers
ASIS, Cheers!!
