๐Ÿ• EURJPY โ€“ TCB Setup (Higher Timeframe Validation โœ…)
Strategy: Trend โ†’ Countertrend โ†’ Breakout (TCB)
Timeframe: 1H
Status: Breakout confirmed โ€” now watching EP1/EP2 for clean entry signals

๐Ÿ” Setup Breakdown:
๐Ÿ“ˆ Trend: Clean bullish channel structure still intact
โ†˜๏ธ Countertrend: Descending wedge fully broken to the upside
๐Ÿš€ Breakout: Price is now testing key structure โ†’ breakout above 172.429 & 172.681 zones

๐Ÿ“Œ Trade Plan:

๐Ÿ“‰ EURJPY 1H โ€“ Breakout Setup | +1.2R Before Reversal

Spotted a clean breakout from a descending wedge in line with the bullish trend. Entered at EP1.

โœ… Price moved +1.2R in profit
โ›”๏ธ Then reversed and hit SL โ€” not due to a tight stop, but a full structure failure.

๐Ÿ” Review:

โœ… Setup aligned with HTF trend

โœ… Good entry and SL placement

โŒ Market failed to hold above breakout level

โš ๏ธ No partials secured at 1R+

๐Ÿ“Œ Lesson: Consider taking partials around 1R when price shows hesitation. Even valid setups can fail.
