I think the whole world is watching this chart now. And now the whole world knows about the carry trades, exactly how it works and what charts to watch :)

I've never traded currencies in my life. Heck, If I'm watching, I'm pretty sure everyone is :)

And to me it looks like its time to close that gap. Nice hammer there.
I think time for Japaneese government intervene and stabilize their currency and market. And thats probably exactly what they will do.

from another board - I wasnt aware, but it makes you think.... euro/yen and euro/dollar options didn't trade in Asia on Friday, the first freeze since LTCM (per WSJ), so fewer tools working to address FX risk. klh
