GBPJPY Double Play – Short from Channel Top into Key Buy Zone

43
Currently in a short position from the top of the ascending channel (197.600s area), where price tapped into confluence:
• Rising wedge upper trendline
• Key Fibonacci zone (between -27% and 61.8%)
• Extended bullish move with clear signs of exhaustion

Trade Plan – Phase 1 (Sell):
I’m targeting the red box zone as marked on the chart, which aligns with prior structure support around 194.80–194.60, and also sits in a strong Fibonacci pocket (around the 61.8% retracement of the most recent impulse leg).
• Entry (Sell): ~197.600
• TP (Sell): 194.800
• SL: Above 197.750 (wick high)



Trade Plan – Phase 2 (Buy):
Once price taps into the red box, I’ll flip bias to long for a bullish continuation trade. This zone has acted as demand multiple times and aligns with:
• Lower trendline support
• Fib confluence zone
• Institutional-style stop hunt structure

Looking for a clean bullish signal (engulfing, pin bar, or strong volume reaction) before entering the buy. Expecting price to return to 196.3–197+ on the rebound.
• Buy Limit Zone: 194.800–194.600
• SL: Below 194.200
• TP: 196.300–197.000+
