Hello fellow traders,

I am being told the downside to the GBPJPY is soon to be in great favor. Does anyone else agree with this? It comes from a reliable trading group. But I would love to hear if anyone else is considering this too.

Hi Jimm, Welcome to Traderslaboratory.

 

I don't listen to what other people say, However, If were looking to short GBP/JPY I would watch my charts. This is what I see now for a possible short.

 

On the chart I have 2 TLs, The upper one is from the 1 hour TF, the lower one is from the 4 hour. On a candle close below the TL on the 1 hour chart, I would look for a test of the TL on the 4 hour chart. This set up is called a "Two Trendy". What makes it more interesting is tha the 1 hour TL is right around Mons S3 and the 4 hour TL is a bit above the Weekly Pivot.

On a candle close below the Weekly pivot, on the 4 hour chart, 12829 would not surprise me. It's a little too early to commit to that, but I would take the TL to TL short if I was awake/around to see it.

I should have added that if price comes down to the TL on the 4 hour TL, a bounce should not be totally unexpected. I that scenario unfolds, drop to a lower TF to determine direction.

As an example, I caught a nice bounce off that TL last Tues, 2/08.

I didn't short at the first close below the TL because the candles were kind of "Doji" looking.

Did finally short at the Daily Pivot on a normal looking candle. Stop is above the most recent high@ 13440. I have a "Price Alert" set for if/when it reaches the TL on the 4 hour.

If it looks like it's going to bounce I'll get out. If it looks like it will continue south, the next key area will be around 13210.

BTW I have a reliable "FREE" price alert site that will send you an sms awhen price hits whatever level you select. If anyone is interested, leave me a message here on the thread.

Hi Jim, I don't know what the GBPJPY prediction is based on, but there are some smart people out there and it could well be correct. I looked at the weekly chart for the pair and on that chart you can see that it's been moving sideways for about two years now, after a big drop in 2008. Matter of fact since September '09 and now it's been stuck between 125 and 150. Eventually price will break out of this range, but I wouldn't predict in which direction. I'd wait for the break to happen and then look for an opportunity to get on board the new trend.

 

Good luck.

    • The big breakthrough with AI right now is “natural language computing.”   Meaning, you can speak in natural language to a computer and it can go through huge data sets, make sense out of them, and speak back to you in natural language.   That alone is a huge breakthrough.   The next leg? AI agents. Where they don’t just speak back to you.   They take action. Here’s the definition I like best: an AI agent is an autonomous system that uses tools, memory, and context to accomplish goals that require multiple steps.   Everything from simple tasks (analyzing web traffic) to more complex goals (building executive briefings or optimizing websites).   They can:   > Reason across multiple steps.   >Use tools like a real assistant (Excel spreadsheets, budgeting apps, search engines, etc.)   > Remember things.   And AI agents are not islands. They talk to other agents.   They can collaborate. Specialized agents that excel at narrow tasks can communicate and amplify one another’s strengths—whether it’s reasoning, data processing, or real-time monitoring.   What it Looks Like You wake up one morning, drink your coffee, and tell your AI agent, “I need to save $500 a month.”   It gets to work.   First, it finds all your recurring subscriptions. Turns out you’re paying $8.99 for a streaming service you forgot you had.   It cancels it. Then it calls your internet provider, negotiates a lower bill, and saves you another $40. Finally, it finds you car insurance that’s $200 cheaper per year.   What used to take you hours—digging through statements, talking to customer service reps on hold for an hour, comparing plans—is done while you’re scrolling Twitter.   Another example: one agent tracks your home maintenance needs and gets information from a local weather-monitoring agent. Result: "Rain forecast next week - should we schedule gutter cleaning now?"   Another: an AI agent will plan your vacations (“Book me a week in Italy for under $2,000”), find the cheapest flights, and sort out hotels with a view.   It’ll remind you to pay bills, schedule doctor’s appointments, and track expenses so you’re not wondering where your paycheck went every month.   The old world gave you tools—Excel spreadsheets, search engines, budgeting apps. The new world gives you agents who do the work for you.   Don’t Get Too Scared (or Excited) Yet William Gibson famously said: "The future is already here – it's just not evenly distributed."   AI agents will distribute it. For decades, the tools that billionaires and corporations used to get ahead—personal assistants, financial advisors, lawyers—were out of reach for regular people.   AI agents could change that.   BUT, remember…   We’re in inning one.   AI agents have a ways to go.   They’re imperfect. They mess up. They need more defenses to get ready for prime time.   To be sure, AI is powerful, but it’s not a miracle worker. It’s great at helping humans solve problems, but it’s not going to replace all jobs overnight.   Instead of fearing AI, think of it as a tool to A.] save you time on boring stuff and B.] amplify what you’re already good at. Right now is the BEST time to start experimenting. It’s also the best time to find investments that will “make AI work for you”.
