Well today was a great day for a US equity bear like myself as I saw the news time rallying as an opportunity to sell as this weeks long rally is extended, and the major indices had weakening momentum and were having trouble breaking through key trendlines, fibo levels, and basic resistance. The huge reversal today in the markets could very well mark the beginning of the next wave down to new lows in US equities.
With that in mind, it ties into risk aversion. With risk aversion comes USD/JPY selling. I think a lot of folks have been thinking the worst is over, just like from what we saw in the stock market, so they have been piling on the risky assets to include the carry trade. Now that the Fed meeting is out of the way, the dollar is free to fall, along with equities, and it should take down the USD/JPY with a fury.
I count five waves down from the top on the 30 min chart that suggests the decline may be underway (see first chart below). Regardless of the long term, this 5 wave move after the Fed announcement should bring the pair down significantly lower in at least one more five wave decline after a correction. A great risk/reward trade would be to wait for the 5th wave to complete and look to position yourself on the bounce, with a stop just above the high at 104.87. Or if you're longer term trading for huge moves like me, then just use the bounce to start establishing short positions, period.
The USD/CHF is not pretty at all but I can squeeze out a 5 wave drop with an ending 5th wave diagonal possibly underway now. Both dollar counts call for a short term rally, but they should prove corrective and not make a new high. It's possible I'm wrong in the short term, but if I position myself on the bounce with a great risk/reward trade, and use proper money management, then being right or wrong is not a concern............it's just a good trading decision. And in the long run, good trading decisions make money.
