USDJPY - Potential Short Swing on the 4H
On this chart we can see that we are forming a potential bearish rising wedge formation with strong resistance around the 107.9-108.1 zone. Expect to see a break above this level prior to a rejection of the upper structure before pressing to the downside. We have three points of contact on the upper trend line, but only two on the lower trend line. I expect the third touch of lower trend line to be where we see a breakout to the downside.
This idea also links with the DXY looking for a press to the 100-100.50 area prior to seeing a rejection at this level where it could return to the 99/98/97 areas.
As for entries, several points can be considered entry points but this will depend on lower time frame price action at the time. I am considering the resistance zone between 107.9-108.1, the 0 fib level and the upper structure trend line for my entry. Again, all depending on lower time frame price action and rejection of these areas. SL will be placed decently above the structure to prevent getting "wicked out" but whist retaining a strong R:R.
This trade idea will be voided if we see a further bullish press out of this structure to break and close above it with continuation to the upside.
Good luck.

Comment:
Well done to everyone who didn't move their SL to BE and therefore got the most out of this trade. It is far from over and we are seeing a pull back and retest of the wedge structure which may present a second opportunity to enter this trade setup:
