USD/JPY Short Setup Idea

Entry: 103.900
Stop Loss: 104.107
TP & RR: 103.280 (3)

REASONS FOR THE TRADE

One would say that I am in a shorting mood today, but I guess those are just the setups that I'm seeing today. To be honest, I will actually miss this trade because it goes against my system (I have some pretty strict rules).

What I like here is that the 1.618 Fib level is in confluence with a fairly strong resistance level, so I believe that the price should retrace at least a little bit if it is to continue upwards. If this is indeed the turning point, then it should provide another opportunity for a short position although with slightly worse RR.

I am a more conservative player and I will wait, but I decided to post this setup for those of you who are more aggressive. There was a time when I would jump on this trade without any hesitation.
Trade active
Going down to the 15-min chart I am still not convinced in the short here. I want some stronger confirmation and I will long on a breakout or will short if the price starts trending down. I'm waiting for the big players to show their hands.
