J61!
USDJPY could hit between 111.20 and 112.93This pair was in a long running consolidation of wave B after a strong impulse up in wave A.
The wave B could have been finished already and we are heading north now.
The breakout above yellow resistance is needed.
Target is between 111.20 (C=0.618 of A) and 112.93 (C=A)
/J6 -- Bearish Trade on 15MRight now am looking for the trade shown, however if the price begins to flag up slowly I will potentially take a more aggressive 15M entry -- if this is the case I will update below
Yen: Trade for Continuation of Bearish Impulse on 15M4H AO has not crossed yet so this is a shorter term trade...here we can see a three wave correction with divergence and a double top on the last wave. My first target is the previous low. I will update at breakeven and when close to the target.

Japanese Yen: Bullish Patterns I have been interested in going long the Japanese Yen futures contract since the completion of the large Bullish Cypher pattern (I first saw this idea by @TradingJazz on USDJPY, his original idea is linked below).
I got picked up on a long at .8811 last night but took my small profit when it seemed it was heading back down after making a lower high. I am now looking to get back involved, and have identified two possible bullish patterns : Butterfly and Bat.
The PRZ of the two patterns will likely complete at the trendline since the Yen's December low which is another additional confluence in addition to these two patterns and of course the very large Cypher. As this is a large PRZ I will be watching this zone closely prior to entering in hopes of entering entering as low as possible with the least amount of risk I can to try and enter the possible large move.
If you have any comments or feedback on this idea, or your own view of the Yen, please feel free to share it!
Sell USDJPYOver the weekend we gapped into the area of 110.5 where we have trendline resistance, previous structure and the .618 fib level. I got short at 110.4, which I closed out earlier. I am now short again at 109.8 with a stop at 109.99. Expecting further downside. Check out some of my finance articles including one I just wrote about a Forex hedge fund @ anyhows.com
USDJPY: Critical level testedUSDJPY has hit the previous monthly uptrend mode, and is currently stuck inside this zone. It would be a colossal feat, for Yen bulls to drive the pair under this key level, so I will watch it with keen eyes during this week. I'll update the post with intraday and daily/weekly charts as needed. It would give us clues about the future of the S&P500 and Nikkei, if we see the smart money players start to accumulate long positions again.
After Monday's close, I'll add a 'Brexit key level' to the chart in an update, and will monitor price action closely from here onwards.
I labeled a monthly downtrend signal, as per the 'time at mode' method, comprised of 7 months worth, and a price target that was exceeded already. There are 2 bars left for this decline to potentially end, and send USDJPY back up to the highs, unless yen bulls are strong enough to push the pair below support. Keep your eyes wide open, this is a really significant level, and from here we might get a terrific trading opportunity once the direction is clear, wether the downtrend ends or it continues further down to the 2011 lows.
