USDJPY POTENTIAL LONG FORMATION IN PROGRESS
We have been looking at this pair and waiting for various patterns to form which will assist us
to form a basis for the potential direction of the pair. Our trades are based on the higher time frame
trend, being the weekly and monthly charts in order to avoid excessive noise of the lower time
frames. We can see that the pair remains bullish despite the pair showing bearish price action on
the lower time frames, hence we are only looking for buying opportunities until further notice.
With this being said we have managed to spot a buying opportunity due to the following reasons
listed below:
1: Trendline breakout
2: Double bottom pattern formation.
We are still waiting for two more confluence factors to form before we consider looking for entries.
These have been listed below:
1: Key-level breakout which signals a change in market structure from bearish and bullish
2: Entry will be on a retest of key level area.
