Strong Ken de hato pattern forming on AUDJPY

Long
OANDA:AUDJPY   Australian Dollar / Japanese Yen
We like to take a contrarian view on retail trader market sentiment, with most retail traders being strongly bearish on this pair we are thus looking to go long. Going long at this area is very plausible because the trend is up. Furthermore, there is evidence that this will be a powerful rejection because these two currencies' strengths are different and diverging(4h, D) in strength; one must establish strength over the other. In this case AUDis strong, and so we want to sell JPY. We all know currencies hate being strong or weak together, one must dominate the other, we are looking for AUDto show some strength to also feel comfortable with going long.

To confirm entry into this trade we are going to look at price action(nice rejection of area) + similar rejection on AUDJPYEURJPY's strongest correlated pair, EURJPY; on approach to area we want to see structure to the left of EURJPYchart to show that not only is this a place buyers come in but a TIME buyers come in. A forex chart is a 2D chart; it has time and price (when and where)

Things that make this trade powerful:

  • Risk reward of 1:2 = we need to be right 33% of the time which is about how much a market trend and we are trend traders.
  • Trend= We figure out the dominant trend to increase our odds since the market trends 30% of the time. Being with the trend increase odds of success by 15%
  • Price action = a rejection of the area.
  • Retail trader market sentiment = Taking a contrarian view on market sentiment which gives us a long bias.
  • Currency strength diverging= Big move coming to decide which currency is strongest.
  • Correlation = When one pair rejects, the other pair should too.

This list is not a checklist, it is merely a list of the order of importance to getting into this trade.
