USDJPY Double Harmonic Set Up USDJPY has a very interesting daily chart where if it makes a clear move in either direction, we complete a harmonic pattern. Whether the market rallies to retest the highs or continues to sell off, we have completions with confluence with previous important S/R levels. We will watch and see what way it goes and publish an update on it if it looks likely to give us an opportunity.

USDJPY - Consolidation before Short?If stars align, risk aversion should continue supporting a potential short in the equity markets along with a weaker USDJPY, and stronger USD across the other majors. While I'm not taking a short just yet, this is just a setup that I will be monitoring over the next few weeks. Fundamentally, there aren't many reasons for equity bulls to keep pressing higher highs, and any negative news could quickly spiral the into a selling frenzy.
USDJPY remains under pressureUSD/JPY remains under pressure. Momentum readings and the Tension Indicator (not shown) continue to weaken, highlighting fresh downside risks in the coming weeks.
A close below the 111.59 low of 7 February will confirm continuation of the December 2016 bear trend, with focus then turning to the 110.27 low of 22 November. Just lower is the 109.93 Fibonacci retracement, but any further slippage beneath here should stabilise towards the 107.85 retracement, as mixed background studies keep investors cautious.
A close above the 115.00 break level is needed to stabilise price action. However, any immediate bounce is expected to remain capped beneath here, as short-term studies also follow weekly readings lower.
2 POTENTIAL TRADE SETUPS ON USDJPYI wanted to share 2 potential trade setups here on USDJPY. The first being IF - price rallies from here up to the 113.20 (without breaking the 111.358 levle) we would have a bear gartley completion. The second being IF - the A point of the potential bear gartley is broken & price pushes lower to the 110.82's we would have a harmonic move, 127 fib ext, Along with a 786 fib retracement & the 111.000 handle a little higher. I would then wait for say a double bottom or a 2618 trade setup to get long. Just a thought.
Swinging both ways (not that there's anything wrong with that)We have two pretty good options on USDJPY, a break above 102.50 could take this up for a quick move into 103.20 and even 103.50. However if this holds below 102.50 I'll be looking for the larger trend line break around 102.00 and a move into 100.00 and even 99.00.
I'll take this either direction, if either break puts up a fight I'll exit quickly with small losses.
