USDJPY – From Shorts to Longs!USDJPY has been trading within a rising channel, maintaining an overall bullish structure in the medium term.
🔍 Current Setup:
We previously looked for shorts from the weekly resistance near the upper bound of the channel — and price reacted as anticipated.
Now, we are waiting for a retest of the lower bound, which is the intersection of the lower trendline and the daily support area, to look for trend-following longs in line with the prevailing bullish trend.
📌 Plan:
Shorts have already played out from the upper bound.
Next, watch for bullish reversal signals around the lower trendline + support confluence for potential long entries.
🎯 Patience is key — let price come to you before taking action.
📚 Always follow your trading plan regarding entry, risk management, and trade management.
Good luck!

GJ|- Bullish Momentum Setup for Next Week4H – From the top-down, price has been respecting structure and just broke major highs with strong momentum to the upside.
30M – Price pulled back into structure, refined to the cleanest level. Before that, we had the professional sweep I mentioned in my last GJ post.
5M – I’m watching for a sweep of SSL into my refined zone before taking an entry. Once that happens, I’ll look for bullish follow-through.
Buy Zone: 196.264
SL: 195.925
Bias: Bullish continuation into next week — pending liquidity sweep confirmation.
AUDCHF - Already Overbought!Hello TradingView Family / Fellow Traders. This is Richard, also known as theSignalyst.
📈AUDCHF has been overall bullish trading within the rising channel marked in red and it is currently retesting the upper bound of the channel acting as an over-bought zone.
Moreover, the blue zone is a strong weekly resistance.
📚 As per my trading style:
As #AUDCHF approaches the red circle zone, I will be looking for bearish reversal setups (like a double top pattern, trendline break , and so on...)
📚 Always follow your trading plan regarding entry, risk management, and trade management.
Good luck!

FARTCOIN / USDT : Trendline broken and retest successfulFARTCOIN: Trendline Broken, Bears in Control!
FARTCOIN's uptrend from March has been decisively broken. Price rejected the key trendline and is now showing strong bearish momentum. Expect further downside, with a potential target around $0.50. Bears are firmly in control!
EURUSD seems back on track for long continuation.Price did tap into a bigger liquidity pool at around 1.142 and showed a strong change in momentum with an impulsive move to the upside. Price is now in a consolidation phase and left a small Liq.Point at 1.1516, which could act as a base for a continuation structure. The longer it takes for price to tap into said area, the better. I am now looking for a minimum of a 2-touch bullish continuation to enter a long trade into the previous highs.
