USDJPY-Weekly Market Analysis-Aug22,Wk2With no mistake, USDJPY is on a Bullish Trend, but that doesn't mean we can't look for a counter-trend trading opportunity. We have a Bearish Crab Pattern completing at 135.58 on the 1hourly chart.
On the 4-hourly chart, there is a potential Bearish Bat Pattern that has the potential of completing at 136.59.
Knowing that this is a counter-trend setup, a candlestick confirmation is required against a strong bullish trend.

GBPUSD-Weekly Market Analysis-Aug22,Wk2 A retest of 1.2026 on the 1hourly chart, not only it would give us a retest or to some a double bottom with an RSI Divergence, if you look at the bigger timeframe, the daily chart, you would see a potential Head and Shoulders Pattern that give an opportunity to long on this counter-trend trading setup.
EURUSD-Weekly Market Analysis-Aug22,Wk2A Bullish Butterfly form at 1.0045 could be an opportunity for counter-trend traders to wait for a counter-trend trading opportunity that completes at that price. However confident you are in the trading setup, it is important to wait for candlestick confirmation before engaging in the trade.
EURJPY - Bearish GartleyA Bearish Gartley Pattern completing at 137.00 within the sell zone on the EURJPY 1hourly chart. In this intra-day timeframe, it may offer more profit opportunities than you think it could.
Be patient, and once you have the candlestick pattern confirmation, like the 3-bar pattern, you decide if this trade is for you.
USDJPY-Weekly Market Analysis-Aug22,Wk1Last week during the Live Streaming session in TradingView, I mentioned that USDJPY might not appreciate it even if the Fed proceed with the rate hike.
However, if you are looking for a trend trading opportunity, a retest at 132.55 could give you an opportunity to jump into a buying opportunity.
NZDUSD - Resistance LevelOn the daily chart, the NZDUSD has hit its Key Resistance Level; it does have an opportunity for trend traders to jump onto the trade.
On the 4-hourly chart, Point C of the potential Bullish Shark Pattern has a 3-bar reversal formation compared to Point A, and there's an RSI Divergence too. Point C candle didn't break and close above Point A; the above observation allows me to head in for a structural short.
NZDJPY - Bullish BatThe Bullish Bat setup could allow counter-trend traders to engage in the trade. Before you get all excited on the Bat Pattern on the 1-hourly timeframe and potential sideway bounce setup on the 4-hourly timeframe(related ideas within tradingview post).
The Bearish Crab Pattern that was completed at the HOP level is a valid setup and it had hit its first target and moved beyond its first target. There is a certain level of risk to engage this trade.
GBPUSD-Weekly Market Analysis-Jul22,Wk5As a structure-based trader, I will wait for the market retest at 1.2040 with an RSI Divergence and the candlestick pattern to touch 1.2050, but a close below 1.2040 would be a perfect opportunity for me to engage the trade.
If the market breaks and closes above 1.2050, I will patiently wait for Bearish Shark set up to engage the trade.(link of that analysis is in the related ideas under tradingview)
GBPUSD - Bearish SharkHarmonic Patterns in a trend trading setup are possible. The Bearish Shark Pattern became a perfect setup for traders who want to get into the trend trading setup, but do note that it is possible that the structure trader could get involved in the trade.

GBPAUD - Bullish BatA Bullish Bat setup is here for sideway, counter-trend, and harmonic pattern traders.
Two things to note, the market has not retraced to 1.7366 to validate the setup and Point C touches Point A candle body, which always bothers me.
Despite of that, what I like about this setup is its profit factor and the RSI Divergence.
AUDUSD - Bearish ButterflyA Bearish Butterfly rested in the key resistance zone is usually a perfect setup for me, however, there are some imperfection on this setup.
A break and close above the previous Bearish Trendline. This is true, but at least it didn't break and close above previous structure, fingercross.
The next thing I'm not comfortable is that the 4-hourly chart has an emerging Bearish Shark Pattern resting at point B, a break and close above point B would put this Butterfly Pattern in an disadvantage.
Be in the now is important, it is a valid setup, I'd engaged it but I will watch closely and review it 3bars from now, which is 2-3hours time.
What am I looking out for?
- to see if the PRZ has been violated
- to see if the market retest the bearish trendline and fail to break and close below the trendline
- to look at candlestick formation
CADJPY - Bearish BatCADJPY has a potential Bearish Bat Pattern that completes at 106.77. A candlestick pattern confirmation is important, and that's because there's a Potential Bearish Butterfly Pattern on the Daily Chart.

USDJPY-Weekly Market Analysis-Jul22,Wk4USDJPY is on a strong Bullish Trend. However, counter-trend traders can wait for a retest at 139.11 to engage a shorting opportunity based on the Bearish Crab Pattern retest at the HOP level.
A retest at the HOP level also means I'll be getting a RSI Divergence.
