USDJPY trade set up

Long

FX:USDJPY   U.S. Dollar / Japanese Yen
USDJPY is has formed a classic inverse head and shoulder pattern. This pattern is seen as bullish reversal pattern after a sharp fall.

I have used the 50 day MA as a quasi trend line and on analysis across various time lines, it has been observed that it has serve as a good resistance and support level in the past.

After the inverses head and shoulder formation was complete, price is currently sitting around the 0.5 Fib levels and will may find support below this at 107.6 to 107.4 levels , where a lot of price action has been visible in the recent past and also concurs with 0.382 levels

One more point to notice is that there has been a bearish divergence on the RSI as indicated in the chart

The way to play I think is as follows:

Step 1 : Go long in tranches, one at the current levels and place a buy order around 107.5 levels or the 0.382 retracement level as indicated on the chart, third on the MA levels, which is slightly higher that the peak of the right shoulder
Step 2 : Stop loss below the peak of the right shoulder (which would also mean that our Inverse head and shoulder pattern has failed and also the trend line is breached and maybe its not a whipsaw only
Step 3: Take profit at 109.2 levels which is around 0.618 levels Fib and also matches the zone for profit taking wrt our target expected if the Inverse head and shoulder pattern would play off in our favor!

If you look the analysis, please share a thumbs up.

Happy to share.

Cheers
