Busy Busy Week Trades in Bank of America, Japanese Yen

It was a busy week.

- A spread trade in Bank of America was closed for a profit. The link to that trade is here.

- A spread trade in Japanese Yen ETF FXY has started. The link to that trade is here.  The trade will continue into next week. Some notes are below.

     - The move yesterday up to $85.50 resistance will either continue through that price point for bullish confirmation or will form an M shape and head down to the $84 level. Next week the direction should be confirmed.


     - Being within 3 weeks of the expiration date has the stop loss playing more and more of a factor
