Regarding government intervention - i wouldnt take the side of the BoJ. They are notoriously bad at protecting the yen. The market will take it where it wants to take it. If you see yen trying to hold a level, it will more than likely be the BoJ but then they will run out of resources and it will fly to the next level. Happened about 3/4 years ago time and time again, exactly the same rhetoric and more and more massive numbers being released soon after showing how much they intervened and how little they could do to stop the market.
No offence to BoJ, or any government in fact, but if people have trades to unwind, you need a very deep bucket to offset it....... they were muppets then and i am sure are muppets now - dont fall for the rhetoric.

Agreed, but defending a currency and weakening it are two different things.
I usually draw my lines from the monthly, daily and 4 hour and then watch as price approaches. As the price was moving up quite quickly from late this afternoon I started looking at the hourly and then noticed the pivot area at around 9840. The pin then formed right at this area and also had fib confluence (draw from daily) as well as an ascending TL. I placed an order just below the pin which was triggered and then the price reversed quite strongly so I was stopped out. I still think this was a faily good setup but sometimes this just happens.
You are right about the 'zones' which I think is why one needs other confluence other than just a pin or IB, to add support to the trade othewise trading price action just anywhere will surely lead to more losses.
Bear in mind the BoJ has hinted in the last couple days that they will move to devalue the yen - you don't want to stand in front of that train.
Who are you, George Soros?
