GBP/JPY : Resistance at 50% fib level + H&S pattern

2 519
Hey guys,

We have a currently a nice resistance at 50% fib retracement from the top (assuming it's the head of the pattern).

Stop placed slightly above 61.8% fib level.

We also have a nice bearish divergence in terms of RSI in M15 timeframe (see below).

I am shorting, my target is 150.700.

Best,

Jesse

Price is going up but volume not

I am adding more to my shorts
Note
I could be wrong but since volume is not supporting this move, it could be a bull trap

The answer in a couple of minutes. Could have just been a market manipulation

Confirmed! They didn't get us on this one!

OK guys, this has nothing to do with my idea, but i'm just curious... How can a user post a single idea, have a reputation of 20'000+ and more than 14'000 followers ? I don't get it...If someone understands lol
Note
Boring PA. Off the screens til tomorrow it’s already night here. Have a good end of day/evening/night guys !

Hi guys,

trade still ongoing. Waiting for some action this morning.

Note
Nothing really special happened overnight. The pair looks stretched now
Note
4 rejections of 61.8%

Note
I am off a couple of hours.

Note
Ascending volume while price is going down = bearish

snapshot
Note
Bearish trend in place, selling any PB
Note
The pair broke an EMA support as you can see below.

Volume confirms the move which is also good.

I will not keep the trade during the JPY interest rate decision which is overnight for me. So it better go down fast! :-)

Final target has not changed.

Tomorrow no trading for me, as every friday.

Best,

Jesse

The pair could go down even more and test the Daily fibo at around 150.450 but, come on, it's already a very decent profit huh? :)
Note
Currently trading at 50% from top, let's see if it goes back down from here or from 61.8%.

Decreasing volume

ok guys back from my meeting.

GBPJPY has retraced all the way up to the top of the formation but still I don't see any volume accompanying this move, so for ME it's still an opportunity to short it.

Will give some updates later on
Note
Hi guys,

Very challenging pair today, with lots of false signals !

I am still in the trade since it's flirting with the 60.8% fib level
Note

Note
look at that! So much indecision out there

Note
These candlestick could suggest we have an exhaustion, looks again that the pair is stretched in this area
Note
CHOOSE A DIRECTION GBPJPY! I think this time is the good one
Note
UPDATED CHART GUYS

snapshot
Note
I just don't like keeping overnight positions when we have "red news", in our case we have Tokyo CPI EX FRESH FOOD + UNEMPLOYMENT RATE + LARGE RETAIL TRADERS so It should definitely go down by then.

You guys are holding it?
Note
I like this engulfing bar (but it must close like that in about 20 minutes) + this RSI divergence

Note
Time to get some fresh air and enjoy the sun! Update in a few hours guys, take care
Note
Currently trading on the trendline

Note
This is the final target, to complete the target.

As you can see it's a confluence zone with the H&S as well as a strong fibonacci daily.

Note
Will book my profits before the red news, hopefully at my first target (as shown above) at 151.720.
Note
ZzzZZZ correcting before going down again ZZZzzZ

Should go and test the next one lower
