Falling Hard from Double Top Below ¥13

[ad_1]

The US Dollar is in a strong bearish trend.

The yen is a popular asset during turbulent times.

My previous USD/JPY signal on 8th March produced a losing long trade from the bullish rejection of the support level at ¥136.53.

Risk 0.75%.

Trades must be entered before 5pm Tokyo time Friday. 

  • Go short following a bearish price action reversal on the H1 timeframe immediately upon the next touch of ¥134.83 or ¥135.94.
  • Place the stop loss 1 pip above the local swing high.
  • Move the stop loss to break even once the trade is 20 pips in profit.
  •  Remove 50% of the position as profit when the price reaches 50 pips in profit and leave the remainder of the position to ride.
  • Go long following a bullish price action reversal on the H1 timeframe immediately upon the next touch of ¥134.45 or ¥133.01.
  • Place the stop loss 1 pip below the local swing low.
  • Move the stop loss to break even once the trade is 20 pips in profit.
  •  Remove 50% of the position as profit when the price reaches 20 pips in profit and leave the remainder of the position to ride.

The best method to identify a classic “price action reversal” is for an hourly candle to close, such as a pin bar, a doji, an outside or even just an engulfing candle with a higher close. You can exploit these levels or zones by watching the price action that occurs at the given levels.

In my previous forecast for the USD/JPY currency pair, I wrote that we would likely see an up day but that the extent of any bullish move would likely be limited. This was a good call as it was exactly right about what happened over the rest of that day.

We are continuing to see a lot of volatility in the Japanese Yen, which until very recently was consistently one of the weakest major currencies and clearly in a bearish trend, given tailwind by the Bank of Japan’s constant signals that it will maintain its extremely loose monetary policy.

This pushed the price to close at a long-term high above ¥137.50, prompting some trend traders to go long, but since that point the price has just plummeted, losing more than 200 pips within just a couple of days.

The bearish momentum here seems to be continuing, although there are signs that the decline is being halted by the firmness of the support level at ¥134.45. This is very likely to be today’s pivotal point. If we get two consecutive lower hourly closes below that, the price might fall quite quickly as low as ¥133.00. However, if the level continues to hold as support, we will probably see a weak rise from that area.

I would be more excited about the short trade scenario than the long trade scenario.

USD/JPY

Regarding the USD, there will be a release of US unemployment claims data at 1:30pm London time. There is nothing of high importance due today concerning the JPY as it is a public holiday in Japan.
