Potential Trading Setup in USD/JPY

Recommended Posts

Here we are going to look at Fibonacci breaks in the USD/JPY in both directions, as an upside break on the daily time frames will signal a bullish move on the weekly charts and give us a clear profit target for long positions that could result a trade worth approximately 700 pips. The dominant trend in this pair has clearly been to the downside, but the latest moves in price activity suggest that a long term base has formed and that a bullish move is highly probably going forward.

 

Upside in the US Dollar against the Japanese Yen (USD/JPY) could rise nearly 10 percent if critical Fibonacci resistance in the 79.90/80.30 zone is breached. The latest rally has been sharp relative to recent volatility levels and if the aforementioned zone (which marks the 38.2 percent retracement of the decline from the highs seen in 2010). This bear move was significant given its relationship to historical averages, so Fibonacci support and resistance levels calculated from this move will be widely-watched by technical traders.

 

On the daily charts, we have seen prices stabilize and consolidate in the 75.50 region, and the latest move is signaling that, potentially, a long term bottom is in place here, providing us with a tradable support base. This is coinciding with oversold indicator readings (on the weekly charts) in areas that previously marked the all time lows (breaking the record decline from 1995). In addition to this, we are seeing a break of the spike highs recorded in October of 2011, which was the Bank of Japan intervention level. Since prices have now moved above that intervention level (an event which was an artificial influence and not indicative of market sentiment), we view the break as a significant event and suggestive of a long term rise in prices. In the daily chart attached here, we can see this break.

A daily close above this region of resistance will confirm the break and next we will pull out to the weekly charts to get an idea of a suitable profit target for long positions. This area is shown in the weekly chart attached here, coming in at 86.90:

We are looking at this area because it also matches up nicely with support turned resistance and will likely contain prices on first test. If prices do manage to break this level, the next target will be the 38.2% retracement, which also matches up well with resistance historical levels and will likely coincide with the 100 month EMA on approach. Given that this trade will yield nearly 700 points if the profit target is reached we will need a stop loss less than or equal to 350 points in order to match our 2:1 risk to reward ratio. This stop loss level allows us to trade against 78.00, which was the latest break out point and should contain prices if we start to see downside pressure.

 

The trade is triggered on a daily close above 80.30, and stop losses are set at 76.75, with a profit target of 86.90.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful. Remember, sometimes what you throw in the garbage is something that someone wishes ever to have.” – ElZee, Quora   Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
