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

Updated
Follwing the Bank of Japan’s policy meeting on Friday, the US Dollar moved a significant 1.74% against the Japanese Yen to settle above the 135.000 for the first time in six weeks. The risk-averse market atmosphere helped the Greenback find demand as a safe haven while hawkish Federal Reserve (Fed) bets provide an additional boost to the currency. The coming week is laced with a handful of high impact macroeconomic event hence the need to consider different factors before making an informed decision. In this video, we dissected the current market structure form a technical stanpoint to figure out how to position ourselves ahead of the new week.

The fallout from our morning live session; secure all sell positions as we have a total of 370 pips running in profit (3 positions)

Trade closed: target reached
Approximately 500 pips from 3 positions. Price action is within the potential demand zone identified at the beginning of the week. So, we are watching how price action reacts to the 135.000 level as buying pressure is observed in the last couple of hours. A reversal pattern on a lower timeframe is what to look for. Update coming up soon and remember that the Fed Reserve announcement is coming up in 20 minutes, secure all positions if still in the sell position

Note
After studying the character of price movement this morning, I have readjusted the key levels on this chart to capture the lowest point for the week and there is a tendency for buying pressure building up as price action appear to be finding higher low after testing 134.700 with a sharp rejection. We shall wait for the validity of a reversal pattern for confirmation of buying opportunities.
