Short
FX:USDJPY   U.S. Dollar / Japanese Yen

Target 1 (identified with the 1.27 Fibonacci extension) - 103.09
Target 2 - 102.41
Stop Loss - above the poc2 and the first level of the retracement area
Risk Reward ratio 2.11

In this case, the targets are on the charts, but the Stop Loss should be put above the descending trendline (and the related poc2)
Risk Reward ratio 3
