Gj
GBPJPY - At a CrossroadHey there!
Gj is my favorite pair, such a nice volatile pair to work with, but lately it's been acting pretty crazy, that's why I haven't talked about it so much.
But, price is at an interesting spot right now. See this 160 level, it used to be a support in the recent past, and a strong one. It's been hit several times between last june-september. Then we had a squeeze short that went to grab all the 150.00 level's liquidity to go hit the ceiling at 170.00.
We broke back down 160.00 last december and since then we're ranging, between 155.00 and 160.00. Since december, we've hit 160.00 about 5-6 times and now we're getting the 7th one. But this one is different, see, JPY has been really weak lately, and also, it's been more volatile than GBP. You can see this by analysing the last swings of both currencies, check it out :
If we take last swing of each currency against the dollar we have :
GBPUSD last swing from 14/02 tu 20/02 => 2.85% variation
USDJPY last swing from 14/02 to 20/02 => 4.09% variation
So, this means that, for now, JPY is more sensitive to dollar than GBP is, so JPY is weaker than GBP against the dollar. In other words, in a situation like this one, if USDJPY is going up, so is GBPJPY.
In a previous analysis I was showing a potential rebound of USDJPY this week. If it was to happen I would look for a potential break of the 160.00 level but, I would really like to see the price to retrace a little bit before, to get a nice entry.
The situation :
1) We're ranging
2) GBP stronger than JPY lately
3) We're touching the top of the range, 7th touch
4) There's a huge imbalance just above the 161.00 resistance, if price was to break it would be vaccumed up to 164.00 - 165.00
5) We're waiting on a retracement with USDJPY, and it's been corelated with GJ lately
So, this one is not a textbook trade that's for sure. But, I know GJ, and right now, it looks like it wants to go get this 161.00 reistance. Ultimately, we'll let the market decide what it wants to do, and we'll be ready for what happens then
Cheers everyone and happy trading!!!
GbpJpy - Manipulation Point TradingBias: Long
Market Cycle: 2
Still long on GJ,, Looking at the 162.08 level it's a KL on the Daily, weekly, monthly TF's..
We're trading inside the 1h fvg, so theres potential that it moves bullish at anytime, I will only be looking for LQG on the MP's for the safer entry position's..
GBPJPY sellAfter our Trade from yesterday, we have a new setup for today. Asia closed good. The price will spicke into our OB or even session high and then probably drop.
If you want you can wait for a confirmation on a lower time frame, where you search for a ChoCH and an OB.
$JPYBASKET is also about to hit our OB so that a reversal has a good change to happen.
But I will enter directly when it hits our OB.
Entry:162.050
SL: 162.200
TP1: 161.472
TP2: 160.500
TP3: 160.150
Would not recommend to risk more than 1%.

GJ SELL IDEAAfter we broke structure (BOS), we have a potential to drive lower.
We created an OB (blue/grey zone) in Asia, which has to get filled.
Waiting for the price to come up to 161.700-161.855
TP 1 Asia Range (161.000)
TP 2 Asia Range (160.160)

MTF Analysis
Check annotations in the anchored notes for M-W-D-H4-H1 analysis.
I've updated GJ's outlook for this week from the last one published in January -- specifically the Weekly Anchored Note
Weekly Timeframe Outlook
Sun,1/22/23 -
Bearish downtrend
UPDATE:
Mon, 2/6/23
1. WC 30 Jan weekly candle ended up being a lower high. A 120 pip rejection wick from December's low.
2. There is a weekly and monthly imbalance that is coinciding with
- December's 50% level (almost)
- January's high
- Previous week's high
- This is supported by the 200 EMA (Daily TF) as it will be tapping it / be under it.
Weekly BIAS:
1. Price is bullish until it reaches/ taps #2's confluence areas.
2. Once it taps #2 conf areas, it will melt until it reaches January's low (which is also coinciding with the last Daily TF lower low) -- price will tap this daily and monthly conf area and then it will rocket and resume the bullish trend that it has been having.
ON THE FLIP SIDE.
1. The last low of the Daily TF. 155.39 X January low -- if price pierces that level and continues all the way down then it may just melt until the next monthly key level which is around 150.75
2. It may just continue the uptrend all the way at least to the M&W trendline
