USDJPY | Perspective for the new week | follow-up details

Updated
The intervention of the Bank of Japan three weeks ago appears to linger on in this market as the U.S. economy continued to add jobs at a solid rate in September. As the price continues to trade between a specific zone (145 and 144 area) in the last three weeks, we can only wait for a signal to have a trading opportunity on this pair.

Caught within a channel between 145.300 and 145.650, a signal will suffice in the form of a breakout of this structure hence I will be waiting this out. Besides this, a bullish trendline is identified and has a likelihood of pushing the price to the upside. However, if a breakdown of the trendline happens, then the possibility of selling the USDJPY is incited.

Do we have a bullish signal as price breakouts of the channel at 145.650?
A retest of the structure in the lower frame should confirm a potential bullish momentum. From the look of things, anywhere above 145.650 looks like a comfortable area to buy the USDJPY.

Buyers continue to struggle above the 145.650 zone. Move stoploss to reduce risk on position... Lets see what happens in the next couple of hours.

The way events are unfolding at this point, we might be witnessing a breakdown of the trendline hereby taking me out of the buy position to incite a bearish momentum as buyers are finding it difficult to hold above the 145.650 level. I am also taking into consideration the fact that the price is still within a very strong supply zone identified on the higher timeframe - see my previous videos on the USDJPY for reference purposes.

Yet to be taken out of the buy position as the price climbs back above the 145.650 level... I continue to monitor price action.

Note
We already have a flat channel as the price has been trading between 145.500 and 145.800 since the beginning of the week. Now, price action trades above the 145.800 level and continues to respect the bullish trendline. Remember, FOMC is coming later on today, I want to see how participants in this market will anticipate this event.

Buying traction finally happens as we now witness a breakout of the supply zone identified in my previous videos. Please note that we do not know if it is a false or confirmed one at this moment as only time will tell. So, its 50 pips in profit; securing the position at this point

Trade active
Over 110pips in profit and I think this bullish move will be massive (considering the extended period of time within the consolidation phase) so it appears to be appropriate to continue to extend TP and move stop loss to secure the position. And if the market presents another buying opportunity at a retest of 146.200 which lines up with the bullish trendline buying opportunity will be considered.

Multiple rejections of the 147 level in the last 12 hours indicate some selling pressure so stop-loss is moved to secure the current buy position as I continue to monitor price action.

Is the breakout of the channel at 148.850 area a true or false one?

Let's see if there is going to be a retest of structure or a transition into a trend continuation pattern to send the price soaring.
