⚡ USDJPY Analysis – 30M Timeframe | April 30, 2025

📊 Price Action Summary:

USDJPY has aggressively tapped into the Premium Zone, aligning perfectly with a Mitigation Block and Fibonacci 61.8% golden pocket.

We’re seeing early signs of Smart Money rejection — time to stay sharp! 🧐

🔥 Key Moves:

Premium Zone Entry: Price retraced right into the 61.8–70.5% fib region.

Mitigation Block respected: A known Smart Money zone where trapped sellers from previous moves get wrecked.

Liquidity Build-Up Below: Eyes on the unprotected lows — Smart Money LOVES to grab those.

🧠 What’s Really Going On Behind the Scenes:

Retail traders: "It’s bouncing! Let’s go long!" 🟢💸
Smart Money: "Perfect… let’s trap them for liquidity." 🧊📉

This move screams classic Premium Trap — draw them in, then nuke it. ☠️

🧩 Why This Setup Matters:

Mitigation Block + FVG combo = High-probability rejection zone

Sellers are likely reloading positions here

The Strong High has been established — room to target Weak Lows below

🎯 Trade Setup Idea:

Entry: Inside or just below the Mitigation Block (confirmation from bearish rejection)

Stop Loss: Just above the Strong High (~142.813)

Take Profit Zones:

TP1: Mid-discount (~141.400)

TP2: Weak Low (~139.899) — the real liquidity target 🎯

💬 Pro Tip:

"Mitigation blocks are the sniper’s nest for Smart Money. Get in, get out, get paid." 🎯

Watch the reaction closely inside the purple zone. It’s not just a block — it’s a liquidity recycling station.

🚀 Summary:

✅ Price entered Premium
✅ Mitigation Block tested
✅ Liquidity below waiting
✅ High RRR bearish setup aligning

🧘‍♂️ Be patient. Wait for confirmation. Let Smart Money leave the trail — then follow.
