USD/JPY short (daily context)

103
Hello traders. I want to share with you my view of USD/JPY. We have a daily chart here and as you can see the pair is currently on a downward trend. The market has been overextended for days and this is now the expected scenario. So, the first time you were able to open a relatively safe short position (using daily context and stop loss) is after forming a wash and rinse pattern on Monday. There you had a double pick (plus bearish MACD during the second peak), and the pair cleared the previous maximum and started falling. But if you missed that opportunity, I think we'll get another one next week. The pair forms a head and shoulders pattern and we can wait for some confirmation to enter a short position during the formation of the right shoulder. For example, you can use the Fibonacci retracement tool and go short from 0.618 fib retracement, putting a stop above the previous high (approx. 131.50 - this is the safest stop in this situation). To get into position, look for some bear patterns around this level (0.618) in the lower time frames.
