LONDON: USD/JPY B&R - MOMENTUMLondon has lined up some interesting break and retest setups. Decided to go with UJ because we already have a trade depending on USD weakness, now we can try to capitalize on JPY strength as well. 'Break and Retest' setup right out the playbook is active using momentum based entry. Lets see how it plays out

USD/JPY - Long slow NY morningOANDA:USDJPY
I'm in a New York frame of mind.
Waited and waited, then triggered.
25 minutes for 15pip TP to get hit.
Broke below previous weeks high (not sure if that means anything, LOL).
Wanted the next round number below, but decided to set my TP to "my" round number of 15pips
Trade well
GBP JPY - To Test ResistanceWe saw GJ falling of the rising wedge. It continued the upward direction after the BOJ new governor "Un-Impressive speech" . I think GJ will test the resistance and fall back. JPY is currently fundamentally driven and like the Gold , it has not pivot the upcoming interest rate hikes. Interest rate differential is driving the JPY pairs. Any Murmuring on the interest rates can drive JPY crazy on Tuesday Ueda speaking. I will seek any short opportunity.
I will go by the technical which says sell from the resistances.
Do comment on the idea and odds.
Cheers
UJI am anticipating this.
We come from a bullish trend, we now have a bearish small channel forming (Reversal). This indicates that we are in a bull channel and that after accumulation (Demand) has been placed, Volatility (Supply) will be fulfilled impulsively. That's where we either wait for the break and retest or enter early and hold (Higher risk but higher reward).
