UJHad a beautiful setup with this last week, added entries along the way. Had a buy limit which wasn't triggered but the forecast was correct. Our aim is to be the best meteorologists out there.
Current price is consolidated, which indicates that we are about to have an impulse (demand order). This will help us determine which direction we set our orders. Opening will also help give us perspective on where and what we need to look out for.
But we did get a double top, so we should expect a bear run but it is not certain or guaranteed yet. If we close below 150.500 then we can start looking for entries.
TRADE IDEA : wait for price first Sell Stop
SL - 151.25
Entry - 150.45
TP -146.5
GjNEW WEEK NEW POSSIBILITIES
This week is strong and yet not so strong, past week we hit our targets for GJ. This week no lie, I am slightly confused. My mental and psychological health are up for question but I understand my duty as a responsible fund manager.
191.00 Strong price of Significance.
I've understood from textbook studying with current pattern and candlestick formation we will see a further price drop.
We are going from strong bearish momentum, finding balance and about to continue distributing the to the rest of the demand.
Getting in right after the open is a bad idea as it will probably hit SL before going through our forecast.
Trade Idea: Sell Stop

Swing trade long for USD/JPYUSD/JPY fell for five consecutive days by Monday's close, which was its worst 5-day run in three months. Yet two daily closed beneath the lower Keltner band and RSI (2) reaching oversold indicated that mean reversion higher was due.
Hotter-than-expected US inflation data confirmed our suspicions, and a bullish day broke the 5-day bearish sequence and confirmed a 3-bar bullish reversal (morning star) at the lower Keltner band.
Prices have already retraced partially within Tuesday's range, so bulls could either enter live at market or seek dips if it retraces further within yesterday's range. With a stop below Friday's low, bulls could target just beneath the 149 handle, the the 20-day EMA.

BoJ Hikes Rates, the first time in 17 years!Yesterday, the Bank of Japan (BoJ) released its decision to end eight years of negative interest rates, adjusting the short-term policy rate to around 0.00% to 0.10%.
Although an interest rate hike is supposed to lead to the currency strengthening, the Yen weakened following the release of the news, with the USDJPY climbing higher from 149.40 toward the resistance level of 151.
The BoJ also indicated that while it will scrap its YCC framework (upper bound of 1% on 10-year JGBs) it will continue to buy some Japanese Government Bonds (JGBs), maintaining a Quantitative Easing (QE) approach, hence keeping some aspect of the accommodative policy.
Markets anticipate that this could be a one off adjustment, and the BoJ is unlikely to follow yesterday's rate decision with a series of rate hikes. This could be considered as a Dovish rate hike.
The divergence in monetary policies between the BoJ and the FOMC (and other major central banks) continues, which is likely the cause of the continued weakness of the Yen.
Today, the Yen has continued to weaken, with the USDJPY breaking above the round number resistance of 151, and is likely to retest the historic high of 151.90, last reached in November 2023.
Attention now shifts toward the FOMC.
EUR/JPY H4 | Could the BoJ finally raise interest rates today?EUR/JPY could fall towards a potential breakout level and drop lower from here should we see the BoJ finally raises interest rates today (19th March).
Sell entry is at 161.877 which is a potential breakout level.
Stop loss is at 162.800 which is a level that sits above an overlap resistance.
Take profit is at 160.380 which is a pullback support that aligns close to the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level.

AUDJPY possible dropAfter price broke structure to the downside with momentum, it preceded to retrace back towards a very extreme supply zone that it left behind during the expansion. It has currently formed liquidity below this supply zone that it could use to fuel its move further to the downside to break the recently formed weak low. The reason a short would be ideal now is because although we are bullish on larger time frames, we are currently bearish on lower time frames and are riding the retracement of the larger higher time frame move.

BOJ to deliver 1st hike in 17 years tomorrow? There is possibly no bigger trading event this week than the Bank of Japan’s decision on Monday.
The groundwork for abandoning negative interest rates has been subtly laid since last year, and now, this could very well be the month they choose to make their move.
The prospect of ending a policy entrenched for nearly two decades could significantly move the USDJPY.
The catalyzing force for the BoJ to end negative interest rates are the substantial wage hikes big corporations and their labor unions agreed on this year.
On Friday, the Japanese Trade Union Confederation, the country's largest labor organization, disclosed that this year's annual wage negotiations produced remarkable outcomes. Major corporations witnessed an average hike of 5.28%, the largest wage increase in 33 years.
Because of this, The Bank of Japan could be thinking that the current economic climate is OK for sustaining a stable 2% inflation rate in an environment without negative interest rates.
Even in the eventuality of the negative rate policy ceasing, Governor Ueda has emphasized the continuity of accommodative monetary conditions. The BOJ will likely keep interest rates at zero percent. So, watch out for overreactions to this news too, and corrective moves in Yen pairs.
