Making pips in the Yen crosses.

Welcome to my forex blog. I am a great believer in luck and I find that the harder and smarter I work the luckier I get. :-)

Trade #53 going awry

jpyforexfan

Holy s…! I definitely picked the right time to enter but unfortunately not in the right direction :-) The Swiss franc is freaking me out. What’s so good about the Swiss? Yea, the Alps, great watches and Milka chocolates… but does it justify such a move? ha ha :-)

Here’s the USD/CHF hourly chart as of now:

What’s up with EUR/USD today?

jpyforexfan

Not much so far (11:24am GMT). The Flash Manufacturing PMI data, announced earlier, was received with a shrug from forex traders. The market has been drilling between 1.2728 and 1.2682 ever since then. Quite an uneventful European morning session. Perhaps the cowboys will start the rodeo? :-)

EUR/USD: the big slide down

jpyforexfan

It is about 10:30am GMT, and we are witnessing the long awaited, amazing drop in the EUR/USD forex pair. Some forex analysts are reporting that apparently stops below 1.2730 went off. To those of you with short positions, congrats! To the euro bulls among you, sorry!

When will USD/JPY shoot up?

jpyforexfan

In the past few days the USD/JPY forex pair made an unsuccessful attempt to test the 15-year bottom at 84.72. It is high time we see upward movement. I wouldn’t go long until I see some good confirmation of that happening (a daily close of above 86.50 would be good for me). Until then, I am on the sidelines watching how Skinny Dollar is faring against Mighty Yen :-)
