USDJPY trade ideas
USDJPY SELLSPrice is currently in an AOI for sells. Price gapped up so I'd hold off on sells until price forms bearish structure on the lower timeframes. Once price resumes bearish structure, look for sells towards 140.500. If price breaks above H1 resistance, I'd look for price to push towards 145.

Gold's Final Push?Multi Time Frame Analysis:
1. Monthly Chart;
• RSI: Extremely Overbought at 84.66
• Volume: Declining – signals weakening buying pressure
2. Weekly Chart;
• Historical Volume Spike
• RSI: Overbought at 78.26
3. Daily Chart;
• Price near Upper Channel Line
• R2 (3246.25): Resistance/Trend Continuation Zone
• MML +2/8 (3281.25): Extreme OverShoot zone (POI)
• R3 (3315.96): Exhaustion Zone
• Gap at 3177.260 still unfilled
• RSI: 71.24 – overbought
• Pattern: Rising Wedge
4. 4H Chart;
• RSI: Overbought
• No Valid Correction
5. 2H Chart;
• RSI: Overbought
• MACD Histogram: Fading
• MACD Lines: Near Crossover
• Volume: Declining
6. 1H Chart;
• MACD Crossover occurred, histogram below zero
• Volume: Weakening
• Price: Still rising despite momentum loss
7. 30-Min Chart;
• MACD Downtrend but price pushing up
• Histogram below zero, divergence forming
• Volume: Dropping
• Near R2 Pivot
Gold appears to be in a trend exhaustion phase. Across higher and mid-timeframes, RSI is extremely overbought, volume is consistently declining, and the MACD is losing momentum. Price is approaching a critical zone between R2 (3246.25) and MML +2/8 (3281.25)—our points of interest (POI) for potential reversal.
If 3246.25 holds, we may see a correction. However, if price breaks above this level, the final resistance could be 3315.96 (R3 Exhaustion Zone). Any signs of inducement or fake breakout could trap buyers at the top (FOMO entry).
Confirmation signals to watch:
• Reversal Candlestick Patterns: Shooting Star, Evening Star, Bearish Engulfing, or multiple Doji formations.
Final Thoughts:
Gold is currently trading at elevated levels, showing signs of exhaustion across nearly all timeframes. With the RSI reading at an extreme 84.66 on the monthly chart, and volume drying up as price continues to rise, this suggests that the market is driven more by momentum and emotion than sustainable buying pressure. The presence of an unfilled breakaway gap at 3177.26, combined with key resistance zones approaching at R2 (3246.25), MML +2/8 (3281.25), and R3 (3315.96), indicates that Gold may be entering a Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) phase, often marked by impulsive buying and the final surge before a correction. Patterns like the Rising Wedge, MACD divergence, and consistent overbought RSI across MTFs reinforce the likelihood of a potential reversal.
However, due to the nature of FOMO-driven moves, the price could still spike before reversing—this is where inducement traps often catch late buyers. It’s crucial to remain patient and wait for proper confirmation signals such as bearish candlestick formations, MACD crossovers, or strong rejection wicks at resistance levels. If price reacts at these zones without breaking through decisively, it could be an ideal setup for short opportunities. Always protect your capital with a solid risk management strategy, use clearly defined stop-loss levels (preferably just above R3), and avoid emotional trading decisions. The technicals are aligning for a significant correction—what remains is the right trigger.

🔍 Chart Overview
• Current Price: Around 143.47
• Trend: The market has been in a clear downtrend from the 151.5 level to around 143.
• Key Tools/Indicators Used:
• BBandLE/BBandSE: Bollinger Band-based Long/Short Entry signals.
• Support & Resistance Zones: Highlighted by the red/purple rectangular zones.
• Risk-to-Reward Trade Setup: Shown using the green (profit target) and red (stop loss) shaded areas.
📊 Support & Resistance Levels
1. Resistance Zones:
• ~151.5 (significant sell-off zone)
• ~147.8–148.3 (where multiple BBandSE entries occurred)
2. Support Zones:
• ~143.0–142.9 (price bounced here recently)
• ~141.9 (potential final support from April 11th)
🔄 Buy Signals
Multiple BBandLE (Buy entries) occurred at:
• ~146
• ~144
• Most recent one around 143, suggesting a potential bottom/reversal.
These coincide with the support zone around 143–142.9, indicating possible accumulation or institutional buying.
📉 Sell Signals
• Several BBandSE (Sell entries) occurred around:
• 151.5
• 148.5
• 147.5
These acted as strong resistance, confirming the bearish momentum that led to the current low.
🧮 Trade Setup
From the chart:
• Entry: Around 143.4 (current level)
• Stop-loss: ~142 (below recent support)
• Target zone: ~147–148.3 (resistance level)
• Risk-to-Reward: Estimated at around 1:3, making it a favorable setup if the reversal holds.
⚠️ Risks
• False breakout risk below 143: Could test 141.9 support or fall further if broken.
• Yen intervention or USD-related economic data could cause sudden volatility.
• Current market sentiment is still bearish, so early entries might need tight management.
✅ Conclusion
• Technical Bias: Short-term bullish reversal potential, but overall trend still bearish.
• Strategy: Ideal for a short-term counter-trend long trade, with tight stop-losses and partial profit-taking near the 147–148 zone.
• Confirmation needed: Wait for a higher high above 144.5–145 to confirm the reversal.

Timeframe: 15 minutes
Indicators Used:
EMA (30-period) – Red line
EMA (200-period) – Blue line
Chart Features:
Downward channel (declining trendline)
Identified entry point, stop loss, and target
Key support/resistance zones shaded in purple
🟢 Trade Idea Summary:
🔹Entry Point: 143.126
🔹Stop Loss: 142.702
🔹Target (Take Profit): 148.249
🔹Risk/Reward Ratio: ~1:5 (Excellent R/R)
🔍 Technical Analysis:
✅ Bullish Breakout Signal
Price has broken above the descending channel and has retested the breakout area (highlighted purple zone) – a classic bullish breakout structure.
The breakout retest near 143.126 is acting as support, with potential to launch a new bullish move.
📈 Moving Average Analysis
EMA 30 is starting to flatten and curve up – indicating potential shift in momentum.
EMA 200 is still above price, but a breakout above it could strengthen the bullish case.
🔁 Support and Resistance
Strong support zone around 143.000 – 143.200 area (highlighted zone).
Major resistance and target zone is between 148.000 – 148.250.
🔔 Trade Plan Suggestion:
Go Long at or near 143.126
Place Stop Loss below support at 142.702
Target 148.249 for profit
Reasoning:
This setup offers a trend reversal potential from a downtrend to uptrend, with a clean breakout-retest-confirmation pattern. The wide take profit range gives room for extended upside as momentum builds.
⚠️ Watch For:
Reaction to the 144.325 (EMA 200) level
Increased buying volume to confirm breakout
Any re-entry into the channel (would invalidate setup)
USD_JPY WILL FALL|SHORT|
✅USD_JPY is already making
A bearish pullback from the horizontal

USDJPY at Major Support Level - Will Buyers Step In?OANDA:USDJPY has reached a major support level, marked by significant buying pressure. This area has historically acted as a strong demand zone, increasing the likelihood of a bullish reaction if buyers step in again.
The current market structure suggests that if the price confirms a rejection from this support level, there is a high probability of an upward move. I anticipate that, if rejection occurs, the market may head higher toward the 147.570 level, which serves as a logical target within the current structure. However, a break below this support would invalidate the bullish bias and could lead to further downside.
This setup reflects the potential for a retracement after an impulsive move, supported by the confluence of previous price behavior and the current structure. If you agree with this analysis or have additional insights, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments!
USDJPY Weekly Rejection at Support-Revisit Bearish Order Block?USDJPY pair last trading week got rejected at the same level that the pair has previously acted as a support level. Will this rejection cause USDJPY to rally towards a bearish order block above 147.50?
Risk Zones: 146.50

Why Yen — When the Dollar Pays 4.5%?USD/JPY recently dropped to its lowest level since September 2024, hovering near the weekly moving average. The market buzzes with concerns over potential U.S. instability and speculation that a Trump administration could weigh on the dollar — prompting some investors to seek safety in the yen.
However, the yield story tells a different tale.
The U.S. still offers an attractive 4.5% overnight interest rate, while Japan lags far behind at just 0.5%. With USD currently undervalued, the yield differential may once again tilt investor preference back toward the dollar.
Looking ahead, a potential rebound toward resistance at 148.639 could be in play in the coming weeks.

PS. - Feeling shorts today, let's wait for confirmation before we enter.

Haven play: Long yen back in focusAmid growing uncertainty surrounding U.S. equities and the US dollar, investors could be returning to a traditional defensive strategy: going long on the Japanese yen.
While some analysts believe the recent yen rally is not yet overstretched, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has noted that Japan’s central bank is likely to push back the timing of further interest rate hikes, a factor that could limit the yen's potential to strengthen further. As such, we are looking at the support level of 140.00 and the bearish-yen sentiment seen today, and the potential resistance at 144.80.
Up next: a scheduled meeting between Japan’s Finance Minister Kato and U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent later this week.
