Maybe. But you can call me Invest Diva 🙂

Once again, the Invest Diva Diamond Analysis on USD/JPY came true at the EXACT entry number and I might make yummy pips very soon.

Here is how it went and how I’m planning to exit:

Last Tuesday I announced on my Twitter that I’m going long the dollar against the Japanese yen at 101.818. I actually had set my entry order at that level and was doing other stuff when I automatically entered the trade. Heart beat. Will the pair continue to go down or my analysis was correct and it will shoot back up?  Mr. Fibonacci didn’t fail me and held the pair around that level.

I’ve been enjoying my ride as the pair has been dancing upward on the forex dance floor* on fundamental news. More jobs were added than expected in November. It was a marginal increase, but it was enough to see the US unemployment rate fall to 7%, the lowest it has been for the five years that the world has been in financial crisis. On this news, the market now seem to think that they could start to taper this month. As such they started to buy back into the Dollar and US government debt. The question we have is whether the payrolls number and its aforementioned distortion is grounds enough for the Fed to warrant any action this side of the New Year? Some studies suggest that the pair may continue to go up through the New Year.

The possibility of a rally all the way up to the 108 area also exist, but as we always say at Invest Diva’s education course, it’s better to be safe than sorry. Remember me yelling “don’t be greedy!” in the target setting video? I had to remind myself of this video and have stuck to my exit strategy of last week.

Still have my limit order set on 103.734 which is a resistance level from back in May, especially because from a data perspective, we’re pretty light on numbers for all regions this week. The market has been consolidating today but still trading above the Ichimoku cloud. From a sentiment point, the majority of traders are short the pair which could be an indication of further bullish bias if we consider this signal as a contrarian indicator. In case I won’t reach my target by Thursday, I will be watching the pair during the only real key US data, the retail sales, and make some adjustments to exit with profit.

Any suggestions as to what I should buy with my newly earned pips this week?

Invest responsibly.

Bitcoin Drops Entering 2026: Is It Still Worth Investing? The Answer Most Investors Miss

Bitcoin has entered 2026 under pressure, with prices pulling back after a volatile period that left many investors questioning whether the opportunity has passed. Headlines are once again split between fear and optimism, with some calling the recent drop a warning sign and others viewing it as a healthy reset.

Unlike speculative assets that rely on constant growth stories, Bitcoin’s relevance continues to rest on its role as a scarce, decentralised digital asset that operates outside traditional financial systems. The key question for investors now is not whether Bitcoin will remain volatile – but whether this moment represents risk, opportunity, or something most investors misunderstand.

Why Big Tech Is Quietly Buying Western Digital (WDC) Stock

Western Digital Corporation (WDC) has been on a tear, its stock price soaring over 270% year-to-date as of early December 2025.

This massive growth isn’t just hype; it’s fueled by a perfect storm of events, including the strategic spin-off of its flash business, SanDisk, and an insatiable global demand for data storage driven by the AI revolution.

As a now “pure-play” Hard Disk Drive (HDD) manufacturer, WDC is uniquely positioned as the landlord for the internet’s exploding data. But with such a meteoric rise, is there still room for growth, or is the stock overheated?
