USD/JPY - What to expect as price consolidates above support?Introduction The USD/JPY pair has been in a clear daily downtrend, marked by a bearish market structure and strong downside momentum. Sellers remain firmly in control, consistently driving prices lower as the pair respects the prevailing trend. Each failed recovery attempt only reinforces the bearish structure, suggesting that the path of least resistance continues to be to the downside. FVG Following the most recent drop, the pair is now consolidating just above a key support level. A short-term relief bounce toward the 4-hour Fair Value Gap (FVG) wouldn't be unexpected. This particular FVG, formed during the last leg down, remains unfilled — and such gaps are often revisited before the trend resumes. Confluences Notably, this FVG aligns with the Golden Pocket Fibonacci retracement zone (0.618–0.65), adding further confluence and making it a potentially strong resistance area. If price does retrace into this zone, it could face significant selling pressure and resume its move back toward the daily support zone. Conclusion While a bounce from daily support is possible, I expect USD/JPY to encounter resistance at the 4H FVG level. This could cap any recovery attempts and signal a continuation of the broader bearish trend.

USDJPY (1h) Potential SellAll major time frames indicate this pair will keep going down. 3 point confluences: 1. Created lower highs in both long term & short term tend failing to break the trendlines 2. We've just got a CHoCH (change in character) 3. Sell order block has formed after going sideways for a couple of days which means price is most likely to revisit it before exploding down. Entry strategy: Wait for a pullback into the recent sell order block then enter when the stochastics indicator is overbought to help give us a tighter stop-loss. Alternatively you can set a sell-limit order on the entry price (green line) Note: price could keep travelling down without doing a pullback GoodLuck!

USD/JPY 30M CHART PATTERNChart Pattern Observations: 1. Descending Channel Breakout Attempt: The pair was previously in a well-defined downward channel (marked by orange trend lines). Price has now exited this channel and is consolidating sideways. 2. Support Zone (Potential Double Bottom): Price is repeatedly testing a strong support zone around 142.400 - 142.600, forming what looks like a double bottom pattern, which is a bullish reversal signal. The orange box indicates a clear demand zone where buyers previously stepped in. 3. Projection Path: A bullish zig-zag arrow is drawn, indicating an anticipated bounce from the support zone, targeting higher level Targets Analysis: 1st Target: 144.500 This level aligns with minor resistance from previous structure highs. If the price breaks above the range, this could be the next logical zone where sellers may re-enter. 2nd Target: 145.000 This is a psychological resistance level and also aligns with Ichimoku cloud resistance. Reaching this level would confirm a significant trend reversal or bullish continuation.

How Can You Use the Ascending Triangle in Trading?How Can You Use the Ascending Triangle in Trading? An ascending triangle is a chart pattern traders rely on to identify potential breakouts and further price movements. Recognised for its versatility, this pattern can signal trend continuations across all types of markets, including stocks, forex, commodities, and cryptocurrencies*. In this article, we’ll break down how to spot and trade this formation. What Is an Ascending Triangle? An ascending or rising triangle is a bullish chart pattern that usually signals a trend continuation. It is framed by two trendlines. The upper line connects highs placed at almost the same level, while the lower line is angled and connects higher lows. The triangle’s appearance is explained as follows: buyers try to push the price up, but they meet a strong resistance level, so the price rebounds. Still, buyers have strength, which is reflected in higher lows. Therefore, they continue pushing the price until it breaks above the resistance level. The period during which the price bounces back and forth between the two lines depends on the timeframe. On daily charts, the triangle can be in place for over a week. Note: The ascending triangle is a continuation chart pattern but sometimes it can be used as a reversal signal. It happens when the ascending triangle occurs in a downtrend. It’s the biggest challenge of all the triangles. The rising triangle is one of the setups in the triangle group. There are also descending and symmetrical formations. Ascending, Descending, and Symmetrical Triangles: The Differences The triangle group of patterns comprises ascending, descending, and symmetrical formations. The ascending triangle is a bullish formation and the descending triangle is bearish. At the same time, the symmetrical triangle is a bilateral setup that signals a rise and a fall in the price. To distinguish between them, traders draw trendlines. In a rising triangle pattern, an upper trendline is horizontal and connects equal or almost equal highs, while the lower trendline is rising as it connects higher lows. In a descending or falling triangle pattern, the lower trendline is horizontal and connects equal or almost equal lows, while the upper trendline declines, going through lower highs. A symmetrical triangle has a falling upper line that connects lower highs and a rising lower line that connects upper lows. How Traders Spot the Ascending Triangle It’s quite easy to identify the formation on a chart. Still, there are a few rules that may help a trader determine its strength. - The trend strength. Although the setup may appear on any timeframe, traders look for strong long-term trends as risks of a fakeout on low charts are higher. - Consolidation. Triangles appear when the market consolidates within an overall trend. - Trendlines. Trendlines must be drawn through at least two points. Still, the larger the number of points, the higher the possibility the setup works. - Breakout. Can the ascending triangle pattern be bearish? No. It is a bullish formation that appears in a bullish and a bearish trend but always signals a potential price rise. How Can You Trade Ascending Triangles? The rising triangle pattern is usually considered a continuation setup formed in an uptrend. Still, if the ascending triangle is in a downtrend, it may signal a trend reversal. The trading rules will be the same in both cases. As with most chart patterns, triangles have specific rules that help traders place entry and exit points. Entry The theory suggests trades go long when the price breaks above the setup's upper boundary. In a conservative approach, traders wait for the price to form at least several candles before entering the market. In a risky strategy, traders open a position as soon as the breakout occurs, and the breakout candlestick closes. It's worth considering trading volumes as breakouts often turn into fakeouts, meaning the market returns to its previous trend. The chance of a strong breakout is higher if the volumes are high. However, increased volumes aren't the only tool used to confirm a breakout. Many traders consider trend indicators and oscillators to potentially limit the risks of bad trading decisions. - If the triangle serves as a continuation setup, it may be helpful to look at the signals of trend-strength indicators, including the average directional index. - If traders use the ascending triangle as a reversal setup, they usually implement indicators that may signal a trend reversal, including the moving average, the relative strength index, the moving average convergence divergence, and the stochastic oscillator. Take Profit A standard take-profit target equals the size of the largest part of the setup and is measured just from the breakout trendline. Stop Loss Traders consider several options when placing stop-loss levels. In a conservative approach, they implement the risk/reward ratio, which is usually 1:2 or 1:3 but depends on the trader's willingness to take risks. Also, traders utilise the upper trendline as a threshold and place the stop-loss order just under it. Note: These are general rules. However, traders can develop their own trading strategies and adjust the pattern's parameters and rules according to their trading approach. Ascending Triangle: Strategy In this strategy, traders observe an existing bullish trend and the formation of an ascending triangle, which suggests the potential for a continuation pattern. Incorporating a short-term moving average, such as a 9-period EMA, provides dynamic support, aligning with the trendline to strengthen the setup. Entries - Traders typically wait for the price to break through the top trendline of the ascending triangle. - A strong candle breaking the resistance level adds confidence, though any move above the top trendline can serve as an entry signal. - The price should also trade above the moving average, offering additional confirmation. - An order is often placed at the top trendline, anticipating a retracement to this level, which now acts as support. Stop Loss - Traders place a stop-loss below the most recent swing low within the triangle. - For more conservative traders, the stop may be set at any prior swing low, depending on risk tolerance. Take Profit - Many traders aim for a risk-reward ratio of 1:2 or 1:3. - Profits might also be taken at the next strong resistance level, aligning with the market structure. Rising Triangle: Benefits and Drawbacks This formation has advantages and pitfalls that traders consider when developing their strategies. Benefits - It can be used on any timeframe. Triangles are formed on charts of any period. Still, they might be more effective if the setup appears in a solid trend on a high timeframe. - It can be used for any asset. Another advantage is that the ascending triangle pattern is used for stock, commodity, cryptocurrency*, and Forex trading. - Easy to spot. A trader only needs to draw two trendlines to define this setup on the chart. - Exact entry and exit points. Although traders can develop their entry and exit points, the setup assumes there are specific rules traders with any experience utilise. Drawbacks - It can confuse traders. As the rising triangle is used as a reversal and continuation formation, traders with less experience may be confused with its signals. - False breakouts. The setup works when a price breakout occurs. However, there is a high risk the breakout will appear to be a fakeout, and the price will return. - The pattern may fail. Aside from a fakeout, there is another risk when trading with triangles. The price may break another side of the formation, and the formation will fail. - The trading rules may not work. Although specific rules indicate where a trader should place entry and exit points, buyers may be too weak to push the price to the take-profit target. Final Thoughts The ascending triangle is one of the more common chart patterns traders use when trading various assets. Still, there is no 100% guarantee that it will work every time you spot it on a price chart. It's vital to remember that every signal must be confirmed with other indicators, chart patterns, and candlesticks. Also, it's a well-known fact that any trade involves risks that should be considered every time a trader enters the market. Improve your skills by practising on different assets and timeframes. FAQ How Do You Form an Ascending Triangle? An ascending triangle is formed when the price action creates a series of higher lows while facing a resistance level, resulting in a horizontal upper trendline and a rising lower trendline. The price consolidates between these two lines before potentially breaking out above the resistance, signalling a bullish continuation. Is an Ascending Triangle Bullish or Bearish? The ascending triangle is a bullish pattern. It suggests that buyers are gaining strength as higher lows form, increasing the likelihood of a breakout above the resistance level. There is a descending triangle pattern that usually appears in a downtrend, signalling a downward movement. How to Enter an Ascending Triangle? According to the theory, in triangle pattern trading, it’s common to enter the market when the price breaks above the upper trendline of the triangle. In a conservative approach, traders wait for confirmation through several closing candles after the breakout. The increased volume also adds confidence to the trade. What Is the Ascending Triangle Pattern Retest? A retest occurs when the price breaks out of the triangle but then briefly falls back to test the former resistance level. A successful retest confirms the breakout and can provide an additional entry point. How Long Does an Ascending Triangle Pattern Take to Form? The formation of a bullish triangle pattern can vary based on the timeframe. On daily charts, it can take several days to weeks, while on shorter timeframes, it might form within hours. What Is the Difference Between an Ascending Triangle and a Rising Wedge? In comparing the ascending triangle vs. the rising wedge, it’s key to recognise that the rising wedge has converging trendlines, signalling a possible weakening trend, often leading to a bearish reversal. In contrast, an ascending triangle trading pattern typically signals a continuation of the uptrend. *At FXOpen UK, Cryptocurrency CFDs are only available for trading by those clients categorised as Professional clients under FCA Rules.

Fundamental Market Analysis for April 15, 2025 USDJPYThe Japanese yen (JPY) is declining during the Asian session on Tuesday, which, along with a modest rise in the US dollar (USD), is lifting the USD/JPY pair closer to the mid-143.00s. US President Donald Trump's cancellation of tariffs on major consumer electronics and the signal that he may temporarily exempt the auto industry from the 25 per cent duties continue to support market optimism. This in turn undermines demand for traditional safe-haven assets, including the yen. However, the rapidly escalating trade war between the US and China and lingering concerns over the potential economic impact of Trump's crippling tariffs should temper market optimism. Meanwhile, expectations that the Bank of Japan (BoJ) will continue to raise interest rates are strongly at odds with bets on more aggressive policy easing by the Federal Reserve (Fed). This, along with hopes of a trade deal between the US and Japan, should limit losses for the low-yielding Yen. Trade recommendation: SELL 142.80, SL 144.50, TP 140.50

The current upward movement is expected to peak near the 146 level. After that, it is likely to turn downward again and form a new low around the 140–141 range. However, if the price breaks above the 146 level during this rally, there is a possibility it could rise further to the 151 level, which is worth noting.

XAU/USD 15-Min Chart Breakdown!Market Outlook – 15-Minute Chart Analysis After reaching an all-time high (ATH), price action retraced to 3193 before finding support and consolidating within a rising wedge pattern inside a defined channel. The confluence of the rising wedge, declining volume, and resistance near the upper boundary of the channel suggests a potential bearish move. We anticipate a downward push to fill the weekend breakaway gap, as illustrated on the chart. As long as the shiny metal remains below the key resistance at 3216, the bearish outlook remains valid, with the target marked clearly on the chart. However, if price breaks above the channel’s upper boundary and decisively surpasses the 3216 resistance level, we could see a bullish continuation toward 3236. ⚠️ Reminder: Every trade carries risk. Always apply proper risk management to protect your capital first. Wishing you a successful and green trading week!

USDJPY Is Bearish! Short! Here is our detailed technical review for USDJPY. Time Frame: 2h Current Trend: Bearish Sentiment: Overbought (based on 7-period RSI) Forecast: Bearish The market is approaching a significant resistance area 143.347. Due to the fact that we see a positive bearish reaction from the underlined area, I strongly believe that sellers will manage to push the price all the way down to 141.021 level. P.S The term oversold refers to a condition where an asset has traded lower in price and has the potential for a price bounce. Overbought refers to market scenarios where the instrument is traded considerably higher than its fair value. Overvaluation is caused by market sentiments when there is positive news.
