Hopefully we get bit more action today than yesterday - as it took till after lunch for the USDYEN bids to get stronger
and we actually did a similar thing yesterday -- shot above 10 - sat here for a while then went down and tested 78-83 before moving back through 10 and not really falling below it again.
also this $YEN / Nikkei relationship need to see whether that gets back on track or we stay apart.
if you look at the most likely range in Asia for $yen its
117.80 / 118.50 then potentially 119 in London
if for some reason we did get under 117.80 then you would have to expect that 117.58-63 area to hold... and the only reason for it to go that low would be some comment by an official saying the market is moving too quickly or something like that.
Right now my Nikkei CFD level is 17475.
Anyone else trading Asia with thoughts / views please join in.

not sure its a pivot in the traditional sense as dont use them either. just the label i use for a trend breaking/making level.
upside target, i have the former breakout level and filled gap at 12686. the next may or may not be reached and need 12686 to get done. an upper channel (12744) taken off recent lows c.125 and c.124. the second channel i have is off the 16 sept and 15 oct tops at 12758. these are falling a few points each passing day. a couple of fibs at 12727 and 12787 plus 3 monthly lows from 2013 in 12745/55 range make up the picture for me. was considering using the 89 day ema currently 12884 as a marker for any failed bull trap but even if we do a higher high abv last months 12887 youve still got monumental selling interest expected at 12965/13017.

personally not using pivots but 1,2440 key level for me also. at least under this level downtrend resumes and may extend down to 1,18sh even this year.
so right now trying to play euro long side as long as 1,2440 contains and as monthly trading range too small still and only 6 working days to go. I expect euro to extend trading range from higher. would be possible to crawl even up to 1,27sh during next week.

I often wonder if we will ever find out what is really going on.

press release
final paragraphs...
To support continued progress toward maximum employment and price stability, the Committee today reaffirmed its view that the current 0 to 1/4 percent target range for the federal funds rate remains appropriate. In determining how long to maintain this target range, the Committee will assess progress--both realized and expected--toward its objectives of maximum employment and 2 percent inflation. This assessment will take into account a wide range of information, including measures of labor market conditions, indicators of inflation pressures and inflation expectations, and readings on financial developments. The Committee anticipates, based on its current assessment, that it likely will be appropriate to maintain the 0 to 1/4 percent target range for the federal funds rate for a considerable time following the end of its asset purchase program this month, especially if projected inflation continues to run below the Committee's 2 percent longer-run goal, and provided that longer-term inflation expectations remain well anchored. However, if incoming information indicates faster progress toward the Committee's employment and inflation objectives than the Committee now expects, then increases in the target range for the federal funds rate are likely to occur sooner than currently anticipated. Conversely, if progress proves slower than expected, then increases in the target range are likely to occur later than currently anticipated.
When the Committee decides to begin to remove policy accommodation, it will take a balanced approach consistent with its longer-run goals of maximum employment and inflation of 2 percent. The Committee currently anticipates that, even after employment and inflation are near mandate-consistent levels, economic conditions may, for some time, warrant keeping the target federal funds rate below levels the Committee views as normal in the longer run.

re JN 13:47: One of the best pieces of trading advice I ever read came from a long-time poster who I shall leave nameless. I'm going from memory here, but they said "markets breathe in, and markets breathe out".
Basically, the price goes up and it goes down depending on the buying or selling activity at the moment. If you look at EUR/USD, you'll see that it went down a little bit, then the buying took over and price jumped up.
How does this help you? Well, if you can time your buying and selling to match the market, you can make some great money. This is not an easy task -- it takes skill and experience and can take a long time to master. But once you start to successfully do so, your trading will really take off. I don't know your experience level so I may be speaking out of turn, but hopefully this helps...

Stops run above 1.2550.
See 4 hour chart for key levels (1.2578) and then trendline + 200 period mva in the 1.26s. Damage only fatal if 1.2578 is firmly taken out.
I have not seen any reason for the flows but EUR crosses have put a bid under EURUSD since yesterday.

We have to figure out what drives what. I think the USDJPY impacts the DJIA (or S&P) more than the other way around., but I am open to other opinions. I hear the stock traders on TV often look for stock price direction form the USDJPY pair.
I have no doubt that each feeds on the other. It doesn't really matter any more which is the driver. They definitely feed off each other and this relationship is now programmed into the mindless algo trading systems.

john to trade equity indecies that are subject to fiscal policies of monetary authorities whimsicals rather than to fundamental economics you have to be "in the circle". I am not "in the circle" - my confidence level in making correlation trade calls is zero.

Personally, I prefer the S&P e-mini contract to the DJIA futures. The DJIA is a lousy index on several counts. The S&P emini is more active, better constructed and more representative index.
In Japan I believe they have a similar argument about the TOPIX vs, the Nikkei?

sf- I don't know if you are gone for the day, but here is the 24- hour Nikkei futures to DJ futures overlay chart you requested. If you are not around I will post it again at the end of our day. Nikkei futures is the dark line and DJ futures is the lighter one.
I had not run this chart before but the relationship looks pretty tight to me. I might play with it over the day.
Let me know what you think.

sf - The entire world is front running the Japanese pension funds, which is why USD/JPY is higher. No flows so far. In fact in September the Japanese sold nearly 10 billion in US Treasuries. JP has a point. In 1998 USD/JPY was at 139 and all the 'calls' were for a melt up. What we got was 80 !! The Japanese have over a trillion in US bonds. Does that make Japan poor? Don't think so. Weird stuff is happening in Japan but the real flows don't seem to be what the 'pundits' would have u believe.

ya, I seen some forecasts for yen 145 recently...
that would be the level at which it started it's ascent to 80 in 1998, almost 2 decades ago, everyone was predicting that it would hit 200 back then... after a decade of stagnation

JP .. just reading a lot of investment firms changing $yen Forecast for next year from 120 to 140
they are saying the only reason its not higher now and may not go past 120 this year - is the trade is crowded.
But who knows where it can get too when the Japanese Pension Fund starts selling YEN agst everything - the Head Guy said they haven't even started yet.
gc sf 10:59 GMT November 19, 2014
$yen
I know it doesn't look like it at the moment - but I expect $yen to drop back to 10-20 again before rallying up thru 80
once it goes through 117.80 - it is almost the point of no return
so I'm sure there will be some profit taking prior to FOMC - some option selling - and the fact the market is moving so slowly - those markets can get some quick drops for no reason.

China, Syria and Murky Geopolitics
Chinese holdings of U.S. Treasuries fell in September, but nothing like what you would expect if there was a real geopolitical fight in the offing. What is surprising is that Japanese holdings also fell by quite a lot. Opens up questions of just where this expected outflow of Japanese capital is likely to be headed, IF it ever happens.

Three observations:
1. AUD and NZD have moved pretty much in tandem versus USD since we opened this morning AUD/NZD has appreciated 10 pips.
2. Next Fibonacci retracement level on the move from 0.8910 on 29 October to 0.8540 on 7 November is 0.8628 being 23.6% above the bottom of the above move. After that looks like we're back to 0.8540.
3. Minor moves in AUD/USD today have been dictated by those in USD/JPY.
In any event AUD/USD retraced 10 pips while I typed this not - I am a slow typist however.

abel - this morning prior to it breaking 117.10 I could make a case for a chance at further retracements
but now it has broken that - I think the chances are your probably right.
118 118.50 120 are certainly possible with BOJ + FOMC ... BOJ is real important you know they really have to give the green light to this whole move shortly.
as long as we hold 117.10 it has immediate bullish bias... imo.

Intra-Day Market Moving News and Views
19 Nov 2014 01:28GMT
USD/JPY - ........ Dlr swung wildly on Tuesday following Japan PM Abe said to dissolve parliament and postpone next year's sales tax hike.
Despite a brief sell off but sharp sell off from 117.05 to 116.35 after the announcement, speculation for new stimulus measures from BoJ after 2-day meeting on Wednesday pushed price higher in NY and dlr eventually rose to a fresh 7-year peak at 117.21 in Tokyo morning before retreating.
Today's focus in Asia will be on the BoJ's monetary policy announcement n then the conference in Asian midday.
BOJ board may call for a bleaker view to be given this time, however, any signs that Kuroda's conviction about the recovery is wavering may spur speculation of more easing early next year.
As dlr has resumed its recent strong ascent in Asia, buying on dips is recommended.
Bids are noted at 116.80-70 with mixture of bids and stops located at 116.55/50 and 116.25/20.
On the upside, offers are placed at 117.20-30 and further out at 117.50-60 with stops emerging above 117.80.
Wednesday will see the release of BoJ interest rate decision, EU current account, BoE MPC Vote outcome, Swiss ZEW investor sentiment, U.S. building permits, housing starts and FOMC minutes.
