4-hr EUR/JPY: Targeting a 230 pips drop

83
Since early March, EUR/JPY has surged nearly 1,000 pips, providing us with several excellent trading opportunities. However, as the rally matures, many early buyers are beginning to take profits, leading to a noticeable slowdown in the uptrend. On Friday, the pair formed a Death Cross, a well-known bearish signal, prompting us to enter a direct sell trade at 161.30 in anticipation of a broader correction.

Our bearish outlook is reinforced by a double top pattern at 163.00, which represents a lower high compared to the previous swing high at 164.00. This formation suggests a weakening bullish momentum, increasing the likelihood of a trend reversal. If our analysis is correct, we aim to take profit near 159.00, aligning with the crucial 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level—often a strong support zone.

To mitigate potential losses while allowing sufficient market fluctuation, we are implementing a stop-loss with a 1.2% distance. This strategic risk management approach ensures our trade remains protected while maintaining the flexibility needed for price movement. As we monitor the market’s response to these technical signals, we anticipate a profitable opportunity in the coming sessions.
