Yesterday I posted the 4hr chart of the USD/JPY showing a rising wedge that broke to the downside. Upon further review considering today’s price action, I decided earlier today that the bottom rail needed adjusting. Nevertheless, a rising wedge is a rising wedge.

If USD/JPY continues upward, I’m thinking the maximum price this rising wedge could reach is around 113.30, give or take 10 bps. At which point the wedge should break to the downside. Ultimately I think we’d see the dollar/yen fall back to 110.00 at a minimum, which would push gold $20-30 higher, and provide a solid swing trade on miners, if nothing else. The next day or so is the gentlemen’s re-entry for a long gold/miner bounce, IMO.

I know it may be hard to eyeball on the chart, but the concurring date/time for when we could reach the top of that rising wedge would be 9/28 or 9/29, and most likely we’d see the breakdown play out largely next week.
