I jumped on that USD/JPY buy above 148.50 and it was sweet.

Closed around 148.95 and took some profit. Nothing big, but better than nothing.

Did anyone else catch the yen move? I bought once it broke 148.60 and it went straight into profit. I got nervous near 149 and took it off. Happy with that one.

[Stockfocus]

Missed the short setup… ended up taking a cheeky long scalp instead. Got out fast though. This zone around 149 is messy, feels like anything can happen.

[Festus]

Shorted near 149 and it actually worked. Closed around 148.65, nothing crazy but it paid.
Happy I didn’t overstay, this pair whips around too much.

I was eyeing the 149 zone as our forecast said, but we never got there.

Instead, price pulled back toward 147.50, so I entered a short there for a small move just now.

Yen setup is disappointing so far. We expected a move from 149, but price is stuck in 147s.

Tried a small short nearer what looked like resistance on my chart, got stopped, this one is very tricky.
