USDJPY | Institutional Sells from HTF Supply Zone (Instant ExecuUSDJPY has tapped into a higher-timeframe supply zone that aligns with the weekly sweep and 4H CHoCH, confirming potential downside momentum.
After the recent BOS, price retraced back into the previous structural supply, forming an S&S pattern (sweep and shift) within the same zone.
The setup aligns with bearish intent from institutional order flow, suggesting smart-money distribution before the next leg down.
🔹 Execution: Instant market sell from 154.15–154.20
🔹 Stop-Loss: Above 154.55 (protected high)
🔹 Target: 152.80 (Realistic TP area)
🔹 Bias: Bearish continuation into lower liquidity zones
Technical Confluence:
• W1 sweep confirms distribution phase
• 4H CHoCH + BOS = structural shift bearish
• S&S rejection inside refined M30 supply
• Liquidity resting below recent lows (152.80)
This setup respects SMC principles — liquidity sweep → structural shift → premium entry — under institutional context.
💬 Monitor for a clean M15–M5 confirmation candle close to maintain precision entry and manage partials along the way.
