USDJPY long : The downside trend just reversed !
Mis à jour
The USDJPY pair just made a trend change ; it has been confirmed at the beginning of the week.
For the past 12 months, USDJPY was in a fast downside trend, losing approximately 20%. But once it has reached the very strong psychological level of 100Y for 1$, we have noticed a change in the bearish dynamic. After three bounces at this price (now Major support area), the downside trend made a reversal, confirmed by two facts :
- first (PINK 1 on the chart), both the 80 days Moving average and the upper descending trendline have been passed when they were previously containing buyers during the whole bearish wave. This was one indication that the trend was about to reverse.
- secondly (PINK 2 on the chart), the previous top at 104.155Y has been passed too. This is definitely showing that the downside trend is over, by definition.
Now, the USDJPY pair should continue its ascension toward the first and second resistances that correspond to the two next tops.
The short term level to look at closely is 102.80Y because this is the first invalidation level of the reversal. If it is broken, this will show some signs of weakness of the reversal. Obviously, if 100Y had to be broken too, this would definitely mean that the downside trend is back.
For the ones who want to initiate a long position based on that idea, the short term stop should be placed just below 102.80Y (invalidation of the reversal scenario).
