Sakakibara Says Yen Could Rise to About 80 to Dollar Next YearThursday, December 24, 2009Dec. 22 (Bloomberg) -- Eisuke Sakakibara, formerly Japan’s top currency official, said the yen may climb to 80 to the dollar early next year. Japan’s governent would find it difficult to intervene effectively to weaken the yen, Sakakibara said at an event today in Tokyo hosted by Citigroup Global Markets Japan Inc. A stronger yen, weaker stocks and deflation could cause Japan’s economy to face a double-dip recession, he said. Sakakibara became known as “Mr. Yen” during his 1997-1999 tenure at the Ministry of Finance for his efforts to influence the yen rate through verbal and actual intervention in the currency markets. To contact the reporter on this story: Rocky Swift in Tokyo at rswift5@bloomberg.net Source: Bloomberg year end is approaching...Sunday, December 20, 2009Christmas will come another 5 days and soon we will be in year 2010.

Until then, HAPPY NEW YEAR and may the profit be with all of us the whole year.... fib 50% rejection???Friday, December 18, 2009The broken lower trendline on the H1 chart indicates that the beast is now in southward move again. I reentered sell position at the close of H1 candle as the price is rejected by the fib retracement 50% level. Possible target taking is at 143.50 which is at the proximity of 161.8% fib level. In case I am wrong, my stop loss at 145.96 (33 pips risk only) should save me out of trouble. Below is the H1 chart as of 2 am Malaysia.  UPDATE :
