Yen's Bull Phase Rapidly Aging

Q:

Does shorting the yen at the end of October a the USD shifts its seasonal tendencies look like the next best investment?

A:

The yen's flow of leverage, while bullish since 2013, is aging rapidly. Last week's bearish setup, a sign of extreme distribution (by the invisible hand), defines an aging bull phase similar to September 2011 when DI fell to -90%. The yen finally weakened when DI2 fell into the lower quartile (Q4 or darker red box) in December 2011 (chart). A small minority, possibly already nibbling lightly on the short side at -90%, will get more aggressive once DI2 nears or falls into the lower quartile. This flow, a cycle that repeats, should be sending a clear message to the bears (bulls and pigs) by either the end of the year or 2016.

The real question is, will anyone be listening?

Conspiracy theories sell. Quartiles don't.
