USDJPY POTENTIAL CONTINUATION AFTER A PULLBACK Price has returned to a higher time frame supply zone after a change in structure and is now showing signs of rejection following a pullback (retracement). The mitigation of the supply zone suggests that institutions may have filled their sell orders and are now ready to push price lower. 📉 Execution Plan: • Entry: On lower timeframe BOS/CHOCH or strong bearish reaction after mitigation. • SL: Just above the supply zone (allow breathing room). • TP: Next demand zone or based on structure (e.g., swing low, imbalance fill). • RR: Minimum 1:3, ideally 1:5 depending on refinement and volatility.

USDJPY Forming Bullish Reversal | MMC Analysis + Target🧠 Chart Overview (2H Timeframe) 🔸 1. Head and Shoulders Inverse Pattern – MMC Bullish Blueprint The chart beautifully shows an Inverse Head & Shoulders pattern, one of the most powerful reversal signals under MMC logic: Left Shoulder: Formed after the initial drop and quick recovery. Head : Deep liquidity grab and reversal from the lowest point (demand zone). Right Shoulder: Higher low structure, indicating reduced selling pressure and shift in momentum. This pattern is forming around a previous liquidity zone, which makes it more valid and aligned with smart money behavior. 🔸 2. Retesting Zone – Critical MMC Demand Area Price is now retesting a highlighted demand zone, which acted as the springboard for the previous bullish move: Bullish Pattern marked aligns with MMC’s concept of “Return to Origin”. This zone also sits just above the right shoulder, confirming that buyers are defending aggressively. If this level holds, we may see a strong continuation move to the upside. 🔸 3. Previous Reversal Zone (Supply) – Next Target Area Marked in light green, this area is the next critical resistance: Acts as liquidity target for institutions if price rallies. Historically acted as a major reversal point. Price is likely to show reactions or profit-taking behavior here. Once broken and retested, it becomes a new support for further upside continuation (as marked on the chart). 🔸 4. Dual Scenarios – Bullish vs Bearish Pathways Your chart correctly outlines two strategic possibilities: ✅ Bullish Scenario: Price respects demand zone. Breaks above previous reversal zone (149.000+). Bullish continuation toward 149.800–150.500 range. MMC tip: “If it goes bullish, use previous demand or double it” = Add confluence or stack demand zones for scale-in entries. ❌ Bearish Scenario: If price breaks below retesting zone, bullish invalidation triggers. Look to the previous all supply zone (Zone Pattern Must) for next reaction. This scenario reflects smart money rejection of upside continuation. 🗂️ MMC Structural Elements Identified: Zone/Pattern Role in Analysis Inverse H&S Trend reversal signal Retesting Zone Demand/entry area Previous Reversal Zone First key resistance / next liquidity pool Supply Zone Below Target in case of downside breakdown MMC Logic Follow price structure, fakeouts, demand/supply traps 📈 Summary Outlook: USDJPY is showing a technical bullish structure backed by MMC-based price psychology. The current pullback into a demand zone gives traders an excellent R:R opportunity for long positions, targeting higher zones upon breakout confirmation. 🟩 If bullish, breakout >149.000 will likely lead toward 150.000+ 🟥 If bearish, breakdown <147.600 opens doors to deeper drop toward 146.000 zone (watch for reversal pattern). 🔑 Key Levels to Watch: Type Level Range Notes Support 147.600–147.800 Current retesting demand Resistance 148.800–149.300 Previous Reversal Zone (Profit booking area) Higher Resistance 150.500+ Final upside objective Breakdown Zone <147.500 Flip to bearish scenario

USDJPY – Liquidity Grab Before Continuation Down **📉 USDJPY – Liquidity Grab Before Continuation Down** 📍 *Update to previous publication* Following further technical analysis, the current price action suggests a **short-term bullish move** on USDJPY — likely acting as a **liquidity grab over previous session highs**. This corrective movement is expected **before price resumes its broader bearish direction**. 🔍 Key observations: * Price may seek short-term buy-side liquidity above recent highs. * Liquidity engineering likely, especially around the **148.800 zone**. * My **bias remains bearish**, but only **after liquidity is taken** and structure confirms a reversal. Waiting for signs of exhaustion or confirmation around the upper FVG to align with the primary short thesis. ---DO NOT USE AS SIGNAL OR ANY OF A KIND-- EMERSON MASSAWE COO | FINANCIAL MARKET ANALYST 6+

USDJPY rising wedge capped at 148,90The USDJPY pair is currently trading with a bearish bias, aligned with the broader downward trend. Recent price action shows a retest of the falling resistance, suggesting a temporary relief rally within the downtrend. Key resistance is located at 149.90, a prior consolidation zone. This level will be critical in determining the next directional move. A bearish rejection from 148.90 could confirm the resumption of the downtrend, targeting the next support levels at 146.93, followed by 146.50 and 146.10 over a longer timeframe. Conversely, a decisive breakout and daily close above 148.93 would invalidate the current bearish setup, shifting sentiment to bullish and potentially triggering a move towards 149.75, then 150.20. Conclusion: The short-term outlook remains bearish unless the pair breaks and holds above 148.90. Traders should watch for price action signals around this key level to confirm direction. A rejection favours fresh downside continuation, while a breakout signals a potential trend reversal or deeper correction.

USD/JPY Stepping Up to Key Resistance Ahead of Fed, BoJIt's a big week for both the U.S. Dollar and the Japanese Yen. Last week started with a sell-off in USD/JPY following results of elections that came in over the weekend. I looked at support structure in the pair shortly after, and the 145.92 level came into play to hold the lows in early-Thursday trade and since then bulls have been going to work. The pair is now nearing a big batch of resistance with the July high of 149.19 followed by the 200-day moving average and the 150.00 handle in the pair. USD/JPY is key for larger themes of USD-strength and if we do hear the Powell talk down the prospect of a September cut, and the BoJ relax on rate hike talk, there could be bullish fundamental move to be priced-in on the pair this week. - js
