USD/JPY: Bearish Setup Looms Below VWAP ZoneUSD/JPY dipped as expected, currently testing the VWAP as support while Stochastic signals the Yen is overpriced in the short term.
Resistance is at 147.6, backed by the bearish VWAP. It is likely the pair will rise and test this level. Furthermore, a new bearish wave can potentially emerge if 147.6 holds. In this scenario, the next target could be the support at 145.8 followed by 144.2.

USD/JPY – Bearish Rejection After Channel BreakUSD/JPY – Bearish Rejection After Channel Break
🔹 2H Chart Analysis by PULSETRADESFX
USD/JPY has broken down from a rising channel and is now rejecting a key supply zone around 147.000 – 147.250. The pair is showing early signs of bearish continuation after retesting this zone as resistance.
This setup favors short positions targeting deeper levels, especially with price failing to reclaim the broken structure.
📌 Trade Setup:
Entry: 146.808
Stop Loss: 147.350 (Above supply zone)
TP1: 146.000 (Recent low)
TP2: 145.250 (Demand support)
TP3: 144.300 (Major structural zone)
This is a clean break–retest–continuation scenario with risk-to-reward aligning well for short-term and swing traders.
✅ Bearish Confluences:
Rising channel break
Supply zone rejection
Lower high structure
Bearish engulfing reaction
TP levels mapped to recent price memory zones

USDJPY 4H Chart Analysis – Bullish Setup in PlayThe USDJPY pair is currently showing signs of a bullish continuation after completing a corrective wave pattern (ABC) down into a strong confluence zone.
📌 Key Technical Insights:
✅ Wave Structure:
The market appears to have completed a 5-wave impulse up, followed by an ABC corrective pattern.
The final leg C has touched the 50% Fibonacci retracement level, aligning with a bullish reaction zone.
✅ Support & Confluence Zone:
Price retraced into the green demand zone marked around the 146.5 level.
This area also aligns with the Fair Value Gap (FVG) and the midpoint of the impulse leg, indicating strong demand interest.
✅ Fair Value Gap (FVG):
Price respected the FVG region twice – first as a breakout, now as a retest.
FVG acts as a dynamic support zone around 146.8–147.2.
✅ Key Resistance & Target Zones:
Immediate resistance lies at 149.30 (previous high and supply zone).
A breakout above this level can trigger a rally toward the 151.50 target, aligning with higher-timeframe resistance.
📈 Potential Bullish Pathway:
As shown on the projection path, price is expected to:
Hold above the 146.5–147.0 demand zone.
Retest 149.30 as resistance.
Continue to push higher toward 151.50, completing a larger bullish leg.

USDJPY - Bearish BiasThe USD/JPY market currently shows a clear downtrend, as indicated by the break of structure (x-bos) and lower lows formation. The price is expected to retrace upwards towards key smart money areas defined by Lower Time Frame (LTF) Supply Zones highlighted in purple.
Using Fibonacci retracement from the recent swing high to the swing low, key Fibonacci levels—especially around the 0.618 and 0.786 zones—align with these LTF Supply Zones, creating high-probability entry areas for short positions.
The trading plan anticipates a retracement into these supply zones, where bearish price action signals can confirm entries. The ultimate target is set near the previous strong low (around 145.821), aiming to ride the next leg down in alignment with the market structure.
Risk management should involve placing stop losses slightly above the upper boundary of the LTF Supply Zones to protect against false breakouts. Patience is emphasized by waiting for price to reach these confluence zones, combining Smart Money concepts and Fibonacci levels for optimal timing and risk-to-reward profile.
USDJPY is continuing its uptrend, let's BUY✏️ OANDA:USDJPY broke the price channel and continued its uptrend at 151,000. The previous h4 candle wick had a liquidity sweep to 147,000, showing that the buyers are dominating the market. The USDJPY trading strategy will mainly BUY to the old peak around 151,000. When the price breaks 147,000, a corrective downtrend will begin to form.
📉 Key Levels
Support: 148.200 - 147.200
Resistance: 150.100 - 151.100
Buy trigger: Breakout above 148,800
BUY 147,200 (buyer liquidity zone)
Target: 145,000

Trump’s 15% Tariff Move -Will It Trigger a USDJPY Trend ReversalThe dollar held firm after Trump announced a preliminary trade deal with Japan, setting a 15% tariff on Japanese imports and securing a 550 bln USD investment pledge. The agreement, which includes opening Japan's market to more US autos and agricultural goods, is part of Trump's broader push for "reciprocal tariffs" ahead of the Aug 1 deadline.
While details remain unclear, especially around potential exemptions for Japanese autos, the deal boosted sentiment in Japanese markets. Traders are watching for further specifics, as uncertainty around implementation and broader tariff risks linger.
From a technical perspective, USDJPY is approaching the support at 145.60, which aligns with an area of Fibonacci confluence. A rebound above 145.60 could prompt a further rise toward the following resistance at 148.80. Conversely, a break below the ascending trendline and support at 145.60 could prompt a further decline toward the following support at 142.80.

Market Travel: An Adaptive Framework for Tracking Structure🧭 Understanding Market Travel: An Adaptive Framework for Tracking Structure Manually
Market structure can be one of the most challenging patterns to read. There are tools and methods to help interpret it, but none are absolute. As market speed and volatility shift, so does its behavior. That’s why it’s important to move beyond rigid definitions and start understanding how price travels through the market.
What Is Travel?
“Travel” is a concept I developed through personal study and chart work. As price moves, it naturally forms pullbacks—temporary dips toward the weak side—and breaks—moves that close beyond the strong side. These are the two critical phases that form the backbone of market structure.
While most people focus on static patterns, I’ve found more value in learning how price travels through its pullbacks and breaks. These movements aren’t random—they follow clear behavioral patterns. Once you learn to identify these, structure becomes easier to read across timeframes.
The Three Modes of Travel
I've observed three types of travel that occur between the dip and the break:
1. Pure Sentiment Travel
This is the cleanest and most decisive form of travel. Price moves in one dominant direction with little to no opposing candles. For example, in a daily uptrend, the pullback might consist entirely of bearish 4H candles. As soon as a strong bullish candle appears, that typically signals the return toward the trend’s strong high.
2. Stacking Travel
Stacking is more nuanced. Price moves with alternating bullish and bearish candles, but the dominant sentiment stays in control.
Let’s say price is dipping in a daily uptrend. On the 1H chart, you may see a bearish sequence that includes a few bullish candles. These bullish candles don’t invalidate the bearish structure because they fail to close above the pivot high formed between the last bullish leg and the beginning of the bearish move. As long as that high is respected, the bearish stacking is valid.
Once price breaks that high (or, in a bullish stacking case, breaks the pivot low), the stacking order is broken, and that signals a reversal back toward the dominant direction.
3. Shifting Travel
Shifting travel looks similar to stacking but is constantly flipping between bullish and bearish stacking. Each shift creates a new high or low within the shifting structure. These micro-structures form lower lows or higher highs as sentiment switches back and forth.
Once price breaks its own shifting structure (e.g., breaks a bearish sequence with a bullish close), this typically signals the end of that leg of travel and a reversal toward the dominant higher timeframe trend.
How to Apply Travel Across Timeframes
These three types of travel operate in a hierarchy:
- Shifting travel (LTF) respects stacking travel (MTF)
- Stacking travel (MTF) respects pure travel (HTF)
- Pure sentiment travel (HTF) is the master mode that resets the others
When you identify a new pure sentiment shift on the higher timeframe, that becomes your reset point. From that candle forward, you should begin fresh stacking and shifting analysis on your lower timeframes.
Workflow example:
1. Spot a pure sentiment shift on the HTF (e.g., bullish daily candle after a clean bearish pullback)
2. From that pivot low, begin tracking stacking travel on the MTF
3. Use shifting travel on the LTF to navigate inside the stacking structure
If stacking or shifting behavior breaks unexpectedly, that usually means market speed is changing—and you may need to reassign which timeframes serve as HTF, MTF, and LTF.
Why This Works
This framework gives you a fixed point of structure—the dip and the break—but allows you to adapt to the behavior in between. Instead of just reacting to breakouts, you're learning how price moves to get there.
That’s what gives you the edge: not just reading where price is, but how it’s traveling to get there.
Final Thoughts
This adaptive travel model helps break down market structure into something both trackable and flexible. Try observing these travel types in real time and let me know how it works for you.

USDJPY Exposed Bullish zone Key Reversal Zones
Bullish Reversal: 146.450
If price breaks above with confirmed surge in volume (relative to recent baseline), initiate long.
Breakout Confirmed: Price closes beyond reversal level (not just taps). Volume Surge: Spike exceeds previous 3–5 bar average; look for institutional signature (non-retail flow) Trap Signature: Prior candle(s) must show wicks or indecision = fuel for move.
Breakout Compression: Low volume chop signals energy build-up. Sudden spike at level = intention exposed. Through: 2nd candle must confirm; hesitation = abort. Rapid thinning above/below = hidden hands preparing.
The price breaks — but the volume reveals.”
Don’t front-run memory levels. Let the market show its hand, then strike with precision.
Ready for deployment. Set alerts at 146.450 and 147.350.

USD/JPY - Potential TargetsDear Friends in Trading,
How I see it,
KEY RESISTANCE AREA @ 147.000 - 147.150
1) 145.940 - Swing Area @ 50% Retracement of July rally
2) As long as price remains below key resistance, watch price reaction
at swing area.
3) If this swing area is decisively breached, 145.000 will be targeted next.
I sincerely hope my point of view offers a valued insight.
Thank you for taking the time study my analysis.
