Analysis of transactions and tips for trading USD/JPY

The test of 150.70, coinciding with the rise of the MACD line from zero, provoked a buy signal, which led to a price increase of 15 pips.

Data on Japan's Services Producer Price Index did not have a noticeable impact on markets, but the report on the decline in inflation led to the strengthening of yen. As long as yen remains above 150, traders will actively buy dollar, continuing the bullish trend

For long positions:

Buy when the price hits 150.59 (green line on the chart) and take profit at 150.83. Growth will occur after the breakdown of the daily high or if buyers manage to protect the local low.

When buying, ensure that the MACD line lies above zero or rises from it. Also consider buying USD/JPY after two consecutive price tests of 150.42, but the MACD line should be in the oversold area as only by that will the market reverse to 150.59 and 150.83.

For short positions:

Sell when the price reaches 150.42 (red line on the chart) and take profit at 150.15. Pressure will return in the case of unsuccessful bullish activity around the local high. However, be cautious with selling against the trend.

When selling, ensure that the MACD line lies below zero or drops down from it. Also consider selling USD/JPY after two consecutive price tests of 150.59, but the MACD line should be in the overbought area as only by that will the market reverse to 150.42 and 150.15.

What's on the chart:

Thin green line - entry price at which you can buy USD/JPY

Thick green line - estimated price where you can set Take-Profit (TP) or manually fix profits, as further growth above this level is unlikely.

Thin red line - entry price at which you can sell USD/JPY

Thick red line - estimated price where you can set Take-Profit (TP) or manually fix profits, as further decline below this level is unlikely.

MACD line- it is important to be guided by overbought and oversold areas when entering the market

Important: Novice traders need to be very careful when making decisions about entering the market. Before the release of important reports, it is best to stay out of the market to avoid being caught in sharp fluctuations in the rate. If you decide to trade during the release of news, then always place stop orders to minimize losses. Without placing stop orders, you can very quickly lose your entire deposit, especially if you do not use money management and trade large volumes.

And remember that for successful trading, you need to have a clear trading plan. Spontaneous trading decision based on the current market situation is an inherently losing strategy for an intraday trader.
