$USDJPYUSDJPY – Technical Setup Ahead of Weekly Open: Structure Intact
Active formation | Key levels: 145.058 / 145.300 / 147.045
The indicative weekend pricing (broker-sourced weekend print) closed around 145.320 – holding above the key support zone at 145.300.
The overall structure remains unchanged – but the low weekend print at 145.320 (indicative pricing from market participants) may hint at a possible gap-up, as it aligned precisely with the recently defended support zone.
Trader Insight – Setup and Strategic Notes from a Prop Trader’s Perspective
For those planning to trade this move actively, here are a few key considerations:
The market may be pulled down again into the 145.300–145.400 zone to collect liquidity.
A sharp dip toward 145.058–145.000 is technically acceptable – what matters is how the market reacts to it.
What matters is not the wick – but the body of the candle.
In the 1-hour to 4-hour timeframes:
– A wick below 145.058 is fine
– But the candle body should close above that level
If the price temporarily breaks the level, it must be quickly bought back – this aligns with classic price-time behavior.
The faster the recovery, the clearer the signal of strength.
If the market opens with a gap-up or strong impulse
No FOMO – you haven’t missed anything.
The previous pivot zone around 145.903 becomes a key structure area for long setups above support.
As long as price holds above 145.058 and 145.300, the formation remains valid.
Target behavior within the structure
145.058 = potential reversal point / formation low
145.300 = key support and re-entry level
147.045 = breakout trigger zone
146.880–147.045 = possible consolidation area (Fibonacci confluence)
Prop Trader Mindset
As a prop trader, I prioritize structured risk and drawdown protection.
I trade with position logic – not hope.
Stop losses are not wrong – but without a plan, they’re just emergency exits.
In this type of setup, hedging and active management often replace traditional stops.
Structure beats emotion.
Conclusion
The formation is active. The market is showing signs of preparation.
Whether we open with a gap-up or see a pullback – both align with the structure.
The question isn’t what the market will do.
The question is: Are you prepared?
