USDJPY Long PositionUSDJPY pair is currently positioned at a key support zone, where price action has historically reversed direction. Following a recent rebound from this level, the pair retested the support area. Given the broader uptrend structure (characterized by higher highs and higher lows), this retest presents a potential opportunity to enter long positions, contingent on bullish confirmation at this critical juncture.
Key Observations:
Established Uptrend: The pair’s consistent upward trajectory on higher time frames supports a bullish bias.
Support Retest: The current pullback to the support zone aligns with typical price behavior in trending markets, where retests of prior levels often precede trend resumptions, but a decisive close below the support would invalidate the bullish setup, potentially signaling a trend reversal or deeper correction.
Risk Management Strategy: A prudent approach would involve placing a stop-loss below the support zone to protect against a breakdown, while targeting the next resistance level for profit-taking.
Final Assessment:
The setup aligns with bullish momentum, provided the support holds.
USDJPY COT and Liquidity AnalysisCOT Report Analysis:
You might thinking why Im bearish here when we can see such high number of shorts in the COT. Here is where historical extremes comes in to play. Look how JPY Longs (USDJPY shorts) reached 10 years extreme and in the same time there is 10 years extreme net positions. Right in the time may when Dollar is seasonally strongest. ITs time to take profits from these USDJPY shorts it will take price up.
Dollar Seasonal Tendencies
Hey what up traders welcome to the COT data and Liquidity report. This is a big part of my FX Trading. Im always trying to trade with the Big players so knowing their positions is good thing.
Please be aware that institutions report data to the SEC on Tuesdays and data are reported on Fridays - so again we as retail traders have disadvantage, but there is possibility to read between the lines. Remember in the report is what they want you to see, that's why mostly price reverse on Wednesday after the report so their cards are hidden as long as possible. However if the trend is running you can read it and use for your advantage.
I created this simple free indicator which you can find in the my scripts. It's highlighting the day of the real report - Tuesday.
Here is the tip if the level has confluence with the high volume on COT it can be strong support / Resistance.

USDJPY Technical Expert Review - 3 May 2025🔮 USDJPY Price Forecast – 1H Timeframe
📈 Bullish Scenario:
Price may bounce from the LPP Inducement + HL (Higher Low) area and push upward.
The first target would be the upper blue LQ Close zone, which is still untouched.
If we observe weakness or an “M-shaped” reaction within that blue zone, a sell setup could be valid (inducement trap).
However, if price breaks and closes above the blue zone, further bullish continuation is expected — possibly toward the higher green liquidity zone around 147+.
📉 Bearish Scenario:
If the HL (blue zone) fails and breaks down, forming a new Lower Low (LL),
Then we can expect price to retrace toward the lower green demand zone, around 141.000, which aligns with higher timeframe liquidity and unmitigated demand.
USD/JPY Bull is back to push the price upHi All,
Firstly, I want to congrats to traders who short the market for the last few months. Well done!!!
Those who is waiting for LONG opportunity, let's get ready for sniper entry.
Here is my prediction and entry on USD/JPY. As you can see, the orange zone around $139-$140 is extremely strong zone. Prices reverse 3 times on this level. On 22 March 2025, the closed daily candle was formed a hammer candle and followed by a strong bullish candle next day which indicates potential reversal to upward.
The RSI indicator lines were crossed on 22 March 2025. Now, the indicator is showing upward momentum as the both lines are about cross 50%.
We also have bullish divergence on the volume indicator. As you can see, the volume was going to sideway where as the price was heading to the orange zone.
These confluence is supporting me to enter LONG. Therefore, I entered 3 entry at different price point which is $143.50, $142.996, $144.70.
USDJPY: Bullish Continuation Confirmed?! 🇺🇸🇯🇵
USDJPY looks bullish after a test of a recently broken resistance.
The price formed a bullish imbalance candle on an hourly time frame
after its test and violated a resistance line of a bullish flag pattern then.
I believe that the pair will continue growing.
Goal - 145.8

USDJPY is Sellinghaving given a CHoCH, it is temporally retracing to the up side to take out liquidity before giving us an official downtrend on the 1hour time frame. sell 1 and sell 2 are the two possible areas it could touch prior to the expected movement. stop loss should be 50 pips above sell 2 and also manage your risk.
USD/JPYThe pattern has **four points**: A, B, C, and D, forming two legs: **AB and CD**, which are equal in length and time.
There are two types:
* **Bullish AB=CD**: Signals a potential reversal to the upside.
* **Bearish AB=CD**: Signals a potential reversal to the downside.
Fibonacci Guidelines:

* The time it takes for price to move from A to B should be similar to C to D.
* The retracement BC is often:
* 61.8% or 78.6% of AB
* The projection CD is:
* 127.2% or 161.8% of BC

Chart Analysis:
Trendline Support:
The price is following an ascending trendline, confirmed by higher lows (marked by green arrows).
The recent bounce off this trendline signals ongoing bullish momentum.

Daily Resistance: At approximately 145.735, which price is approaching.
Daily Support: Around 142.87, reinforced by trendline confluence.

Fibonacci levels are drawn from the recent swing low to high:
0.382 ≈ 144.05

A break above 145.92 could lead to an extension toward 148.28 (1.618 Fib extension), coinciding with the supply zone.
Summary:

Complete Mapping Analysis — USDJPY (H1 Chart)Strategy Focus: Elliott Wave (Impulse) + AO Divergence + Fibonacci Extensions
🔍 1. Current Wave Structure (Elliott Wave Count)
You’ve identified:
A completed Wave 3 (impulse).
A completed or nearly completed Wave 4 correction.
Now projecting Wave 5 to complete the 5-wave impulse.
Substructure breakdown:
Wave 1-2: Clean impulse and pullback.
Wave 3: Strong rally with AO confirming higher momentum peaks.
Wave 4: Corrective move, breaking below the internal trendline (initial break), signaling potential end of correction.
Wave 5 (projected): Final push upward to complete the motive wave.
📊 2. Fibonacci Extension Targets
From Wave 0–3 and Wave 4 retracement:
2.618 extension: ~146.50
2.886 extension: ~146.78
4.236 extension: ~148.22 (Aggressive top for a possible extended fifth)
These are possible Wave 5 termination zones. Confluence with previous supply zones increases likelihood of reversal here.
📉 3. Momentum Confirmation — Awesome Oscillator (AO)
You're watching for:
Bearish Divergence on AO:
Wave 3 had a strong momentum peak.
Expect Wave 5 to push higher in price, but AO shows a lower high, signaling weakening momentum.
This aligns with classic Wave 5 behavior — price extension with momentum exhaustion.
🧭 4. Entry Strategy
Setup: Long entry at Wave 4 bottom.
Entry trigger: Initial break → minor pullback → bullish confirmation candle.
AO: Turns green after red bars = first sign of momentum recovery.
Optional confirmation: Break of short-term structure high (micro Wave 1 in Wave 5).
🎯 5. Take Profit Plan
Layered take-profit strategy based on Fibonacci and AO:
Target Zone Price Area Action
TP1 (Safe) ~1.618 (145.44–145.72) Take partial profit (30–50%)
TP2 (Primary) ~2.618 (146.50) Secure majority of profit (80%)
TP3 (Max/Stretch) ~4.236 (148.22) Optional final push / runner
🛡 6. Stop Loss Strategy
SL placement: Below Wave (4) low (~143.73 zone) or below structure break.
Use structure break or strong bearish engulfing as a reason to exit early if momentum fails.
⚠️ 7. Divergence & Reversal Monitoring
Once price enters your TP2–TP3 zone:
Look for:
AO divergence (price high vs. AO lower high).
Bearish engulfing candles or microstructure breaks.
Weak volume or extended wick rejection.
These may indicate Wave 5 completion and the start of Wave A (correction) or a reversal.
🔄 8. Next Play After Wave 5 Completes
If divergence confirms and reversal begins:
Map corrective structure (ABC).
Short from:
Break of rising wedge/trendline.
AO flips red + break of microstructure.
Target retracement:
0.382 to 0.618 retracement of the full Wave 1–5 impulse.
Target zone: ~144.80 – 143.70
✅ Summary: Strategic Flow
✅ Identify Wave 4 completion → Confirm via initial break + minor pullback.
✅ Long entry for Wave 5 → Enter on bullish candle or structural break.
✅ Track AO → Expect divergence at Wave 5 peak.
✅ Use Fibonacci for TP zones.
✅ Exit with confirmation of divergence and reversal signs.
✅ Option to reverse short post-Wave 5.
