GBPJPY | Perspective for the new week
It has been a while since I looked at this pair from a long term perspective but the temptation in the present contraction in the market can not be resisted as I identify a trading opportunity building up for an explosion!
The British pound rallied from the Demand zone during the course of the last two weeks but since the 9th of July 2021, I have noticed that the buyers appear to be struggling to break above Key level @ Y153.200 area to confirm rally continuation. The appearance of a shooting star on the last trading day (Friday, 30th July 2021) expresses another sharp rejection of this level with a potential to transform into a Head and Shoulder pattern thereby signalling a Bearish perspective to this pair for me in the coming week(s).
It is worthy to note that there is a general notion that the Japanese Yen is still considered to be a “safety currency”.
Tendency: Downtrend (Bearish)
Structure: Trendline | Supply & Demand | Reversal pattern (Head & Shoulder)
Observation: i. Since mid-March 2021, we have witnessed a surge in the value of the Pound over the Yen which hit a peak of Y156.200 after which the price continued to find lower lows.
ii. Multiple rejections of Key level @ Y153.200 gives further significance to the strength of sellers at this juncture in the market.
iii. Head and Shoulder: A baseline with three peaks (the outside two is expected to be close in height and the middle is highest). The completion of this pattern will signal with a degree of accuracy that the prevailing uptrend is nearing its end.
iv. Even as we await completion of Head & Shoulder, selling potentials exist below the Key level @ Y153.200 with potential to add position at Breakdown/retest of Y152.000 level.
v. The completion of a bullish-to-bearish trend reversal is confirmed as soon as the price breaks down the Neckline @ Y149.000 (Demand zone) - another window to add a position.
vi. CAUTION: Considering the Bullish perspective from a long term scale, we might see price do a correction into 61.8/78.6% retracement of Impulse Leg (see weekly chart) to incite rally continuation. However, should price breakout/reset Key level @ Y153.200 and Bearish Trendline our perspective shall shift to a rally continuation... Trade consciously!😊
Trading plan: SELL confirmation with a minimum potential profit of 500 pips.
Risk/Reward: 1:5
Potential Duration: 10 to 20days
