USD/JPY 30-Minute Trade Setup: Bullish Reversal from Key SupportEMA (30, close) - Red Line: 149.488 (shorter-term trend)
EMA (200, close) - Blue Line: 149.862 (longer-term trend)
Trade Setup:
Entry Zone: Around 149.000 (marked by the purple support area)
Stop Loss: 148.698 (below the key support level)
Target Point: 150.275 (potential profit level)
Analysis:
Price is currently testing a strong support zone (purple area), suggesting a possible bullish reversal.
The 30 EMA (red) is acting as local resistance.
The 200 EMA (blue) is positioned above, which may act as further resistance if price moves up.
The price action suggests a potential bounce from support, leading to a target around 150.275.
Risk-to-Reward Consideration:
Stop loss is placed slightly below the support zone for risk management.
Target price provides a favorable risk-to-reward ratio of approximately 1:3.
Conclusion:
A long (buy) trade is expected if price holds above the support zone.
If price breaks below 148.698, the bullish setup could be invalidated.
A break above 149.862 (200 EMA) would confirm a stronger bullish continuation.
My LEAP Competition USDJPY Short Position 01/04/2025This is a position trade in LEAP competition that I'm happy to take. USDJPY is at an interesting position and environment where the USD wants to see more room for downwards and JPY wants to see strength. BOJ is neutral-hawkish although there were moments where they sounded neutral-dovish but overall I think with time jpy will strengthen this year.
USDJPY Price ActionHello Traders,
As you can see, the price dropped from the previous supply zone and has formed a new one. Along the way, it created both internal and external liquidity, which helps strengthen the newly formed zone — a common pattern we see repeatedly.
Remember, just because price didn’t move as expected and hit your stop loss, it doesn’t mean your analysis was wrong. That’s exactly why we use stop losses — to protect our capital before chasing profit.
I’ve marked the internal and external liquidity, along with the new supply and demand zones on the chart. As always, without liquidity, there’s no valid zone confirmation. Risk management is key — that’s all you really need.
Wishing you all the best and happy trading.
Thank you!
ShortYesterday, I opened a short position during the Asian session and published my trade set up , but I ended up manually closing the position before the US open becauseI was a bit anxious about US GDP data.
But the main concern was the price was hovering around the major support and resistance area and I could see valid reasons to go long as well.
The obvious reason for the long position was the price was forming big inverted head and shoulder patterns. So, if the price broke above the resistance area, there would have been a great upside potential.
However, after the US session opened, I ended up opening a short position. The reasons are written in the article I published yesterday. Please read that article that is linked below.
But another argument I would like to add for the bear scenario is this.
In Nov-Dec 2024, we had a very similar set up ( dark blue rectangular box in the chart.) At the time, the price was also forming the inverted head and shoulder at the same support/resistance zone. Once it broke the resistance line, it took off to the upside. And that same scenario can unfold this time as well.
However, what is different between Dec 2024 period and the current period are:
1) VWAP (volume weighted average price) drawn from the major low in 24th Sept was working as support but this time the same VWAP is working as resistance.
2) MACD and RSI were moving from bear zone to the bull zone, but this time they are moving to the downside from the bull zone.
Therefore, I think the momentum is to the downside this time. The only time will tell.
My current short position is quite small. However, once the direction becomes more clear I plan to add more position because the move to the downside from here can be quite significant.
My USDJPY Short Idea 28/03/2025Tokyo CPI came in hot today we have inflation in progress signaling mild-hawkish tone for BOJ. BOJ is known for taking decisions slowly so I do not expect a rate hike to happen soon but we may see it in the very near future. Afterall BOJ Interest rate 0.5 is considered high for its historical data. Aiming for 1.00 interest rate is something huge that few people understands its magnitude.
Taking this short attempt.
ShortI had a few failed short trades in the last few weeks for this pair.
My overall bias is bearish and I must admit having a strong bias cost me. I was too eager to execute a trade and I ended up front running and instead of reacting to the price action.
This morning, I opened two short positions (1 position size divided into two) for USDJPY .
Trade set up:
Entry: 150.945Stop Loss: 151.458
Target 1: 149.680 (blue horizontal line - previous week open price, Fair value gap and order block in 4H) Target 2: 148.306 (Previous week low, fair value gap )
Reasons for short entry:
Weekly:
The price had broken and closed below the previous low at 148.65. It went up again but it is respecting FVG at 150.50 zone.
RSI is starting to enter the bear territory.
Daily:
The price is still below EMA 200 and is respecting FVG at 150.50 zone.
RSI line is still in the bear zone.
4H:
The price dropped and closed below the ascending trendline.
I like the candlestick formations at the FVG - very small candles with upper wicks followed by a large engulfing candle. (1H is better to see the price movement). Sorry, I forgot the name of this formation! RSI is presenting negative divergence.
Ideally, it is better to wait for the price to drop, retest and close below 200EMA in 4H and 4H RSI to dive into bear territory. However, I felt there are enough confluences to support my bias and I like the risk:reward for this set up. Therefore, I decided to open a short position, but my position size is small.
Please let me know what you think.
151.00 Cracks: Is USD/JPY’s Rally Over? Key Levels AheadFrom a fundamental perspective, the USD/JPY exchange rate retreated from around the 151.00 level. Despite the poor Japanese PMI data on Monday, investors bought the Japanese yen influenced by the hawkish outlook of the Bank of Japan (BoJ). The minutes of the January meeting showed that policymakers tend to tighten policies when appropriate. The BoJ governor also stated that the degree of monetary easing will be adjusted once the 2% inflation target is achieved.
Technically, the overnight breakout above the 150.00 psychological mark and the 200 - period Simple Moving Average (SMA) on the 4 - hour chart is a bullish signal. Indicators on the daily chart also support appreciation, and pullbacks may present buying opportunities. If the rate breaks below 150.00, it may accelerate its decline to support levels such as 149.30 - 149.25. Failure to hold these levels indicates that the rebound momentum has been exhausted and the trend may turn bearish. Conversely, if it stabilizes above 151.00, the upward resistance levels are successively 151.30, 151.75 (the 200 - day SMA), and it may even rise to 153.00.

USDJPY Short (future trade!)This is reverse USDJPY trade....The oppositie of the long trade published.
For example today it is not a good time to short the dollar,as technically the price caught in the middle of the range.....Better we wait to reach the higher zone.IF PRICE COMES DOWN to the lower range,then we can plan the long tradefirst(See my USDJPY long apporach!)
USD/JPY 4H Analysis – Potential Bearish RetestThe USD/JPY pair has been in a clear downtrend, trading within a descending channel for an extended period. Recently, price action has broken above the channel, but it is now facing resistance around the 150.35 level.
Retest Zone: The pair is currently retesting the broken trendline, and if it fails to sustain above this level, a rejection could lead to further downside.
Bearish Expectation: If the price fails to reclaim 150.35, a move towards the 147.00 support zone is likely.
Confirmation: A strong bearish candle from this level could indicate a reversal, confirming the downward move.
Traders should watch for price action signals at the retest level before making decisions.

UJ Price Analysis: Key Insights for Next Week Trading DecisionThe USD/JPY pair is currently in a temporary uptrend within a broader consolidation, following a strong bearish move that started at the beginning of the year. The Y149.000 level will be a key zone for our trading decisions.
📌 Key Technical Outlook:
🔹 Price faced selling pressure around Y150.000, leading to a pullback.
🔹 As long as price holds above the ascending trendline & Y149.000, I’ll be looking for buying opportunities in the short term.
🔹 A breakdown and retest of Y149.000 and the trendline would confirm a resumption of the long-term bearish structure.
📌 Major Market Drivers:
🔹 Federal Reserve’s Policy Stance: Powell reiterated that rate cuts are not urgent, keeping the USD supported.
🔹 Trump’s Trade Tariffs: Expected to drive US inflation higher, adding strength to the Dollar.
🔹 Bank of Japan’s Hawkish Expectations: Japan’s largest trade union group (Rengo) secured a 5.4% pay rise, reinforcing expectations that the BoJ will tighten policy further this year.
🔹 Japan’s CPI Cooling Down: Lower inflation in Japan could weaken the Yen and offer USD/JPY support.
📅 Key Economic Events on Our Radar Next Week:
🗓 Tuesday: US S&P Global PMI – A key sentiment indicator for economic conditions.
🗓 Thursday: US GDP (Q4 Final) – A major market mover influencing the Fed’s policy direction.
🗓 Friday: Tokyo CPI & US Core PCE Index – The BoJ and Fed’s preferred inflation measures, critical for future rate decisions.
I’ll be watching how USD/JPY behaves around Y149.000 for confirmation of trend continuation or a bearish continuation. We’ll discuss this in-depth during Forex Morning Mastery tomorrow—stay tuned! 🔥📈 #USDJPY #Forex #MarketAnalysis

USDJPY: Volatility and Key LevelsThe recent trend of the USD/JPY has been highly volatile. On the economic data front, the rise in Japan's unemployment rate and the decline in corporate capital expenditure have triggered selling pressure on the Japanese yen. However, factors such as corporate wage growth provide grounds for the Bank of Japan to consider raising interest rates.
From a technical perspective, key support levels are situated around 147.7 and 146.5, whilst the resistance levels are now between 150 and 151. Amid the ongoing battle between bulls and bears, the pair is likely to continue trading within the range of 147.00-149.00. That said, given the current upward momentum, a technical pullback followed by further gains in the short term cannot be ruled out.
