Confused ?

You are not alone. Every analyst out here whose report is floating around is equally confused.

The winners are the order book guys, taking out the stops on the top and bottom while everyone is scratching their heads in between.

How to be one if you do not have the order book ?

Anti Instinct trading. Trade against yourself and your instinct. If it looks improbable, it is and it will happen. If you think it cannot go up, it will and if you think it cannot go down, it will too.

Most importantly, do not think or read anything and you will be safe.

Going into BoJ this noon, it looks like we could be sitting for a 3 point range.

And look !! Bloomberg has already pre-empted a header into it.
