USDJPY trade ideas
A Short USDJPY Buy🌞 Good Morning, Traders! 🌞
It’s a beautiful, great morning — let’s get ready to learn and earn! 💪📊
Here’s something I want you to understand today:
📈 Price always moves from one zone to another.
When it reaches a zone, it often pauses (rests) before continuing its movement — depending on whether buyers or sellers are in control at that moment.
🧠 Here’s a key insight:
Most times, buyers are positioned around the middle of the 4H candle.
That’s exactly why we're taking this BUY trade — the price is resting and showing signs of buyer strength from that level.
So keep your eyes sharp and your mind focused. 👀
Understanding why we take trades is what separates smart traders from lucky ones.
Let’s stay patient, stay consistent, and grow together. 🚀

USDJPY Short: Video WalkthroughHello, this is the video walkthrough on the USDJPY short idea that I posted 7 hours earlier. Price has since moved down so you would either scale in your short position, or do this on a smaller size based on your risk management. But definitely for this idea, the invalidation point, and thus the stop loss, will be if price moves above the wave Y high.
Good luck!

USDJPY Chart Analysis
Although it briefly stalled near the 146 level, USDJPY has ultimately broken through resistance and is showing a steep upward trend. It is currently trading near the 149 level, and unless there is a major shift, the pair is expected to continue its climb toward the 151 range. We will reassess its direction once it approaches that level.

USDJPY Wave Analysis – 12 May 2025- USDJPY broke the resistance area
- Likely to rise to resistance level 150.00
USDJPY currency pair continues to rise strongly inside the c-wave, which recently broke the resistance area between the resistance level 146.00 (top of the previous wave a), 50% Fibonacci correction of the downward impulse from March and the resistance trendline of the daily down channel from January.
The breakout of this resistance area accelerated the minor c-wave of the active ABC correction (2) from the end of April.
USDJPY currency pair can be expected to rise to the next resistance level 150.00 (target price for the completion of the active c-wave).
USDJPY Short: Completion of Double Combination Wave 2 of 3Over here, I present to you what I think is an excellent risk-reward idea.
I’ve drawn a double combination wave structure for a wave 2 of 3. And wave Y itself you can see that A=C.
The stop for this will be just above end of wave Y.
Good luck!
