USDJPY 1H – Rejection from Supply Zone, Short Bias ActivatedHey traders 👋 Here's a setup I’m currently watching on USDJPY. We just saw price react sharply from a clear supply zone around 149.90 – 150.00, which aligns perfectly with a previous structure and imbalance area. After a solid bearish rejection candle, I entered short with the expectation of a continued drop, targeting the 148.40 support zone. The RR is decent on this one. Setup details: Entry: ~149.58 SL: Above the supply zone (~149.95) TP: ~148.42 Bias: Bearish RR: ~3.5R I’m keeping a close eye on how price behaves around the 149.00 psychological level – any strong reaction might warrant partials or tighter management. Let me know what you think! Are you shorting too or waiting for confirmation?

USD/JPY 4H AnalysisUSDJPY Trade Idea: Bearish Flag Breakdown and Key Technical Levels Trade Setup Overview Pattern Identified: Bearish Flag breakdown (continuation pattern) after a prior downtrend. Key Resistance: 100-period Moving Average (MA) acting as dynamic resistance. Entry Trigger: Retest of the broken flag's lower boundary near 149.300. Targets: TP1: 148.30 (100 pips, aligns with the flag's measured move). TP2: 146.60 (270 pips, targets a major swing low and psychological level). Stop Loss: 150.00 (70 pips risk, above the flag's upper boundary and recent swing high). --- Critical Technical Factors 1. Bearish Flag Dynamics: The flag's "pole" (prior decline) suggests a measured move target of ~148.30 (TP1). A close below the flag confirms momentum; watch for follow-through selling. 2. Confluence with Moving Averages: The 100-MA resistance reinforces bearish pressure. A rejection here adds confidence to the downtrend. A break below the 200-MA (if applicable) would signal a deeper bearish shift. 3. Key Support Levels: 148.30: Near-term target (previous swing low). 146.60: Long-term support (2023 lows, 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of 2021-2023 rally). --- Risk Management Risk-Reward Ratio: TP1: 1:1.4 (70 pips risk vs. 100 pips reward). TP2: 1:3.8 (70 pips risk vs. 270 pips reward). Adjust Stops: Trail stops to breakeven if TP1 is hit to lock in gains. --- Fundamental Catalysts to Monitor 1. Fed Policy: Dovish signals (rate cuts) could accelerate USD weakness. 2. BOJ Intervention: Watch for verbal or direct action to defend JPY above 150.00. 3. Risk Sentiment: JPY strength may surge if equity markets sell off (safe-haven flows). --- Execution Plan Sell Entry: 149.300 (wait for price to retest the broken flag boundary). TP1: 148.30 (partial profit-taking). TP2: 146.60 (requires sustained bearish momentum). Stop Loss: 150.00 (avoids false breakdowns). --- Your trade plan is now structured and polished for sharing. Let me know if you need any tweaks!

Japan's Business Sentiment Mixed, Yen StrengthensThe Japanese yen has gained ground on Tuesday. In the North American session, USD/JPY is trading at 149.27, down 0.47% on the day. The yen was red-hot in the fourth quarter of 2024, gaining a massive 9.5% against the US dollar, but has reversed directions in Q1, declining 4.7%. The Manufacturing Tankan index indicated that confidence among manufacturers eased to 12 in Q1 2025, down from 14 in the previous quarter. This was the lowest level in a year, reflective of growing concern among Japanese manufacturers over US tariff policy. The Non-manufacturing Tankan index, meanwhile, moved in the opposite direction, climbing to 35 in Q1, up from 33 in the Q4 2024 release. This was the fastest pace of growth since August 1991, as companies are increasingly passing on costs to consumers. The mixed Tankan report is unlikely to change the cautious stance of the Bank of Japan, which has expressed concerns about the uncertainty caused by the threat of additional US tariffs. The BoJ held rates steady in March and the next meeting is on May 1, with the markets projecting another hold. US President Donald Trump has threatened to impose wide-ranging tariffs on April 2, leaving US trading partners and the financial markets highly anxious ahead of what Trump has declared "Liberation Day". It is unclear which countries will be targeted or what the tariff rates will be, which has only added to financial market jitters. If Trump goes ahead with the tariffs and targeted countries retaliate with counter-tariffs, we will be one step closer to a global trade war. USD/JPY has pushed below support at 149.65. Below, there is support at 149.02 There is resistance at 150.59 and 151.22

USDJPY 31 MARCH 2025 Q2 W14 Y25 SHORT SET UPUSDJPY 31 MARCH 2025 Q2 W14 Y25 SHORT SET UP Looking forward to this short play. In terms of the strategy, the price action is lining up beautifully for a high probability trade set up. Why? Lets dissect. Weekly and daily 50 exponential moving average aligning proving the short confluences. Of late FRGNT have been taking high probability setups using the cushion that higher time frame moving averages continue to provide. It of course does not suggest an immediate position is executed from the EMA. It is simply a confluence that we can hang out hat on a they say. We are currently entering the daily order block created last Friday. We expect to see a bearish reaction but we are confident In waiting for our specific points of interest. What are they? aligned perfectly with the weekly and daily 50 ema, lies a 15' order block that is yet to me mitigated, this is our area to look for a short reaction. The dilemma. We enter a high probability area, do we await for a 15' break of structure after the bullish price action trailing into our area? Do we await and take a tap entry from the area? or finally do we await for a Lower time frame break of structure and if YES, How low do we go? I think the first element to look into is how price arrives into the area. Will there be high impact news at the time of price entering into the level? it is always worth noting there it always reason to loose a position but our goal is limit just our exposure to that risk even in highly favoured positions. What is the ideal set up for FRGNT? We hope to see clear trending price action into our level. With clear higher highs and higher lows, we are able to see areas to be violated on the turn around and break and structure. Ideally we will await for a 1' turn turn around from the level. As a result of the setup being backed by the 50 weekly ad daily ema. We do expect to see a rollover in price and do not want to miss the set up but we must see a break of strcutre of some sort. There can be a lot of confidence taken from a 1 minute roll over. We will look for 1minute engulfing candle from the level. Await the imbalance fill and enter on a market execution. What do you think? Let's see how price comes to us . FRGNT X

JPY/USD 4H Chart Analysis – Head & Shoulders Breakdown & BearishThis detailed technical analysis covers a Head & Shoulders pattern formation on the 4-hour chart of JPY/USD, highlighting a potential bearish reversal setup. The pattern suggests a shift from an uptrend to a downtrend, supported by a trendline breakdown and key resistance & support levels. 1️⃣ Understanding the Chart Pattern: Head & Shoulders (H&S) 📉 What is the Head & Shoulders Pattern? The Head & Shoulders (H&S) is a classic bearish reversal pattern that appears after a prolonged uptrend, signaling a shift in market sentiment from bullish to bearish. It consists of three main parts: Left Shoulder: A peak followed by a retracement. Head: A higher peak, indicating the last strong bullish attempt. Right Shoulder: A lower peak, failing to reach the height of the head, showing weakening momentum. Neckline: A crucial support level that connects the lows of the shoulders. A confirmed break below this neckline is the trigger for a bearish continuation. 📊 Breakdown of the Pattern in This Chart Left Shoulder (First Peak): The price made a high and then pulled back. Head (Higher Peak): The market made another higher high but failed to sustain it, indicating exhaustion. Right Shoulder (Lower Peak): A weaker attempt to push higher, but price failed to break previous highs, confirming the loss of bullish strength. Neckline Breakout: The dotted trendline shows the ascending support that was eventually broken, confirming bearish momentum. 2️⃣ Key Technical Levels & Market Structure Understanding the important levels in the market is crucial for setting up an effective trade. 🟧 Resistance Zone (Supply Area) The resistance level, marked in a beige box, is located around 0.006800. Price was rejected multiple times from this zone, confirming strong selling pressure. The head of the pattern was formed in this region before a sharp drop. 🔵 Support Level (Neckline & Demand Area) The neckline of the Head & Shoulders pattern was acting as support before being broken. This level was tested multiple times before the final breakdown. Once broken, it turned into a resistance level, meaning price may pull back to this area before continuing downward. 📉 Trendline Breakout (Bearish Confirmation) A dashed trendline was previously supporting the uptrend but was broken, confirming the bearish shift in market structure. This signals a trend reversal and a possible extended move lower. 3️⃣ Trading Strategy & Execution A well-planned entry, stop loss, and take-profit strategy is essential for managing risk effectively. 📌 Entry Strategy (Short Setup) Ideal Entry: Look for price to pull back to the neckline (previous support turned resistance). Confirmation: Watch for bearish candlestick patterns such as: Bearish engulfing Pin bar rejection Shooting star Lower highs forming near the neckline A rejection in this zone confirms seller dominance and a high-probability short setup. 📌 Stop Loss Placement The Stop Loss is placed above the right shoulder at 0.006725. This ensures protection from false breakouts or unexpected bullish moves. 📌 Profit Target Projection Take-Profit Target: The projected move suggests a target at 0.006493. This aligns with previous structural support, increasing its significance. The measured move for Head & Shoulders suggests that price could fall further after confirmation. Risk-Reward Ratio The Risk (Stop Loss): Around 50 pips. The Reward (Profit Target): Around 180 pips. This results in a Risk-Reward Ratio of approximately 1:3, making it an attractive trade. 4️⃣ Market Sentiment & Expected Price Movement 📉 Bearish Scenario (Most Likely) Price retests the neckline but fails to break above it. Sellers step in, rejecting the resistance level, leading to further downside. Price targets the next major support at 0.006493, completing the Head & Shoulders move. 📈 Bullish Scenario (Alternative) If price reclaims the neckline and moves back above 0.006725, the pattern is invalidated. This could lead to a bullish continuation back toward previous highs. In this case, traders should cut losses early and avoid forcing a short trade. 5️⃣ Risk Management & Best Practices 1️⃣ Position Sizing: Risk only 1-2% of your account per trade to maintain long-term profitability. 2️⃣ Confirmation Before Entry: Wait for price to reject the neckline resistance before entering short. Avoid entering too early without clear bearish signs. 3️⃣ Monitor News & Fundamentals: Major economic events, interest rate decisions, or central bank announcements could impact JPY/USD price action. 🔎 Final Conclusion: Bearish Outlook on JPY/USD The Head & Shoulders breakdown signals a trend reversal from bullish to bearish. The neckline breakout confirms seller control over the market. The best short entry is on a pullback to previous support (now resistance). Target at 0.006493, with a Stop Loss at 0.006725 ensures controlled risk. 📢 Trading Bias: Bearish 📉 💡 Watch for a retest & rejection before entering short.

USD/JPY.. Treand line break out...The USD/JPY trade setup you've described appears to focus on a bullish trend line breakout, but there are inconsistencies in the terminology and risk-reward structure that need clarification. Here's a refined interpretation and analysis: --- ### *Trade Setup Rationale* 1. *Entry Point 149.500 *: Likely triggered by a bullish breakout above a descending trend line (resistance). Entry might be near the breakout level, *assuming the price retests the trend line (now support)*. - Example: If the breakout occurs around *150.00, a pullback to **150.00-151.00* could serve as the entry zone. 2. *Take Profit (TP) Targets* (mislabeled as "support"): - *TP1: 152.60* (near prior resistance or a measured move). - *TP2: 154.80* (extension of the bullish momentum, possibly a multi-month high). 3. *Stop Loss (SL): 148.25* (placed below the trend line/swing low to protect against false breakouts). --- ### *Risk-Reward Considerations* - *Scenario: Entry at **150.00, SL at **148.25* (175 pips risk). - TP1 (152.60): *+260 pips* (1:1.5 risk-reward). - TP2 (154.80): *+480 pips* (1:2.7 risk-reward). - *Note*: Wider stops may suit swing traders, but ensure alignment with your strategy. --- ### *Key Factors to Validate* 1. *Trend Confirmation*: Confirm bullish momentum with indicators (e.g., RSI >50, MACD crossover). 2. *Fundamentals*: Monitor BoJ intervention risks or Fed policy shifts impacting USD/JPY. 3. *Price Action*: Watch for a clean breakout with volume support and no false spikes. --- ### *Adjusted Trade Plan* - *Buy Entry: On confirmed trend line breakout (e.g., daily close above **151.00*). - *TP1: **152.60* (partial profit). - *TP2: **154.80* (final target). - *SL: **148.25* (strict risk management).

USD/JPY... 4H pair...Here’s a structured analysis and actionable plan for the *USDJPY* trade idea based on the bearish flag breakdown and key technical levels: --- ### *Trade Setup Overview* - *Pattern Identified*: Bearish Flag breakdown (continuation pattern) after a prior downtrend. - *Key Resistance*: 100-period Moving Average (MA) acting as dynamic resistance. - *Entry Trigger: Retest of the broken flag’s lower boundary near **149.300*. - *Targets*: - *TP1: 148.30* (100 pips, aligns with the flag’s measured move). - *TP2: 146.60* (270 pips, targets a major swing low and psychological level). - *Stop Loss: **150.00* (70 pips risk, above the flag’s upper boundary and recent swing high). --- ### *Critical Technical Factors* 1. *Bearish Flag Dynamics*: - The flag’s "pole" (prior decline) suggests a measured move target of *~148.30* (TP1). - A close below the flag confirms momentum; watch for follow-through selling. 2. *Confluence with Moving Averages*: - The 100-MA resistance reinforces bearish pressure. A rejection here adds confidence to the downtrend. - A break below the 200-MA (if applicable) would signal a deeper bearish shift. 3. *Key Support Levels*: - *148.30*: Near-term target (previous swing low). - *146.60*: Long-term support (2023 lows, 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of 2021-2023 rally). --- ### *Risk Management* - *Risk-Reward Ratio*: - TP1: *1:1.4* (70 pips risk vs. 100 pips reward). - TP2: *1:3.8* (70 pips risk vs. 270 pips reward). - *Adjust Stops*: Trail stops to breakeven if TP1 is hit to lock in gains. --- ### *Fundamental Catalysts to Monitor* 1. *Fed Policy*: Dovish signals (rate cuts) could accelerate USD weakness. 2. *BOJ Intervention*: Watch for verbal or direct action to defend JPY above 150.00. 3. *Risk Sentiment*: JPY strength may surge if equity markets sell off (safe-haven flows). --- ### *Execution Plan* 🔽 *Sell Entry*: 149.300 (wait for price to retest the broken flag boundary). 🎯 *TP1*: 148.30 (partial profit-taking). 🎯 *TP2*: 146.60 (requires sustained bearish momentum). 🚫 *Stop Loss*: 150.00 (avoids false breakdowns). --- ### *Will the USD Continue to Decline?* - *Yes, but with caution: The bearish flag and MA resistance favor downside, but JPY’s inherent weakness (BOJ’s ultra-loose policy) may limit sustained USDJPY declines. Focus on **TP1 (148.30)* as a high-probability target, while TP2 depends on broader USD trends and macro drivers. *Key Takeaway*: Trade aligns with short-term momentum, but remain agile given JPY’s sensitivity to central bank policies and risk sentiment.
