A rebound is inevitable. Execute!During the European session, the USD/JPY price trended lower overall, with prices gradually declining from higher levels, indicating that bearish forces remained dominant. The pair started its downward movement from near 144.049 and continued to move lower. Notably, the USD/JPY exchange rate faced resistance at the 146.00 psychological level and is currently moving toward the support zone at 142.35. If prices reach this area, buyers are expected to enter the market after setting clear risk parameters below the support level, preparing for a potential rebound toward the 148.00 resistance level. On the flip side, sellers will look for prices to break below this level to increase bearish bets, with a further downside target set at the 140.00 threshold.
Humans need to breathe, and perfect trading is like breathing—maintaining flexibility without needing to trade every market swing. The secret to profitable trading lies in implementing simple rules: repeating simple tasks consistently and enforcing them strictly over the long term.
Trading Strategy:
buy@142.20-142.50
TP:145.50-146.00
USD/JPY Technical OutlookA Head and Shoulders pattern has formed on the 4-hour timeframe, suggesting a potential bearish reversal. The key neckline zone lies between 142.400 and 142.000 .
A confirmed break below this neckline, followed by a clean retest, would present a high-probability short opportunity. This pattern indicates a possible shift in momentum, with sellers beginning to gain control of the market.
Monday thoughts and reports Our initial trade of the week was a success no drawback. The currency pair has created a new level and is now in a testing zone that I view as either a possible reversal or continuation of a downtrend validated by the 4 hour and daily timeframes. My points of interaction.
Sell: Open and close below 142.579
Buy: Reversal at 142.579
Even though these are the points I'm interested keep in mind it is early in the week and there is a chance for consolidation so beware of overtrading.
Monday June 2nd Reports: ISM Manufacturing PMI (Purchasing Managers' Index)
For May of 2025 it reported at about 48.7% which indicates a continued contraction in the manufacturing sector. Aprils was 49% So we are looking at a slower pace. The current prediction is 49.5%. This is the ninth consecutive month with the index below 50% which is below the neutral threshold of 50%.
New Orders decreased to 48.6% from 55.1%
Production: Slowed to 50.7% from 52.5%
Employment: Fell into contraction at 47.6% down from 50.3%
Prices: Accelerated to 62.4% the highest since June 2022, due to increased cost from tariffs
Supplier Deliveries: Slowed to 54.5% from 50.9%, indicating longer lead times
Inventories: Remained stable at 49.9%
Backlog of Orders: Contracted less at 46.8% compared to 44.9% (backlogs are still declining, but not as sharply)
The manufacturing sector is experiencing the initial operational impacts of the new administrations tariff policies, leading to increased prices and supply chain disruptions
How does this impact USD/JPY?
PMI below 50 signals economic weakness it signals contraction in the manufacturing sector.
This puts a cloud over the confidence in US economic strength and may lead traders to lower expectations for future fed rate hikes (or even expect cuts)
A lower PMI reduces investor confidence in US economy which cloud lead to a weaker dollar
This will result in a stronger yen (safe haven currency) against the us dollar
Pay attention to: Fed and BOJ monetary policy outlooks, geopolitical risk appetite, interest rate differentials, and upcoming US jobs data report
USD/JPY – Rejection at Resistance | Bullish Setup Brewing? The USD/JPY pair has just rejected from the 143.50 zone and is currently sitting around 142.89, showing signs of short-term weakness after a bullish attempt. However, the higher timeframe demand zone between 140.55 – 142.00 is holding strong 👀
🔍 Key Levels:
Demand Zone: 140.550 – 142.000 🟧
Mid-Range Resistance: 148.419 🔵
Major Supply Zone: 155.589 🔵
Current Price: 142.896 🔴
📊 Technical Breakdown:
Price bounced multiple times from the strong demand zone, forming a potential triple bottom.
If bulls defend this area again, we could see a push toward 148.41 and eventually a retest of the 155.58 supply zone 🔼
Momentum is gradually shifting – watch for a break above recent highs (~143.50) for confirmation of bullish continuation.
🧠 What to Watch:
Bullish confirmation above 143.50 = Long potential toward 148.41 and 155.58 🎯
Bearish breakdown below 140.55 = Caution! Opens downside risk 🚨

Market next move 🔄 Disruptive Bullish Scenario Analysis
1. Oversold Conditions & Possible Reversal
The current price at 143.028 shows an aggressive drop.
This could indicate the pair is entering oversold territory on lower timeframes (not visible here but common post-drop).
If confirmed with RSI or stochastic indicators, a reversal or retracement could be imminent before reaching the 141.000 target.
2. Demand Zone at 142.500–142.000
Historically, this area (near 142.5–142.0) may act as a support zone.
Buyers could step in here, especially if fundamentals (e.g., U.S. data releases or BOJ comments) support dollar strength.
3. Volume Divergence
Declining selling volume despite price falling (visible from lower red bars) may hint at weakening bearish momentum.
This divergence often precedes a bullish correction or range formation.
4. False Breakdown Possibility
The sharp projection to 141.000 could trigger stop hunts.
After trapping breakout sellers, price may sharply rebound to retest 143.500–144.000 zones.

USDJPY Ready to Bounce – Sniper Long from Smart Money OBUSDJPY | 30-Min Bullish Setup – Premium to Discount + Order Block Reaction
USDJPY looks primed for a bullish reversal from a smart money perspective. Let’s walk through why this setup could be the cleanest long of the week 📈🧠
📌 1. Current Market Narrative:
Price retraced deep into discount levels (beyond 70.5%) after a strong bullish leg
Tapped into a refined bullish Order Block (OB) sitting just above a strong low
Multiple liquidity grabs have already occurred, leaving internal structure vulnerable to a reversal
Smart money has likely accumulated below recent lows… ready to pump toward Buy Side Liquidity 🧲
🧠 2. Key Technical Levels:
✅ Order Block Zone (Entry): 143.164
🔻 Strong Low: 142.048 (protected)
🟢 Buy Side Liquidity Target: 144.447
🔼 Weak High (Magnet): 146.290
Entry Point: Within OB (143.1–143.2)
TP Zones: 144.447 (main), 146.290 (stretch target)
SL: Below OB – around 142.048
RR: ~1:4+ — sniper grade 🥷
📊 3. Smart Money Flow:
OB aligned with 70.5–79% Fibonacci discount zone (deep retrace = strong reaction)
Structure shows signs of exhaustion on the sell side
Price may now reverse with displacement toward upside inefficiencies
Buyers likely stepping in aggressively from this level
🚀 4. Execution Plan (LTF Confirmation Entry):
✅ Wait for:
M5–M15 BOS (bullish break of structure)
FVG or mitigation entry confirmation
Maintain tight SL below OB (2–3 pips buffer)
Bonus: If price holds above 143.2 with strong M5 bullish candle close, that’s go-time for smart money longs.
🧨 5. Why This Setup is 🔥:
High probability bounce zone (OB + deep fib retrace)
Clean RR structure with solid target at buy side liquidity
Market structure shift likely as lower highs start breaking
Liquidity swept under recent lows = trap complete
This is the kind of setup that institutional algos are coded to exploit 🤖

Sunday Start Just a look into what my thoughts are to start this week.
Price points are 144.750 for a buy and 143.450 for a sell. I believe that between those two points will be a lot of consolidation and recommend waiting for an open and close above or beneath before entry.
This is just an idea based off my observations. I'll share ideas based off my indicators and economic reports Monday, Wednesday, and wrap up everything Friday. Saturday, you'll see ideas for next week.
