USD JPY SET FOR SHARP BREAKOUT?




Having already rallied sharply by over 1500 Pips in just 2 months, we could still see further gains for the USD if a strong breakout takes place from the Daily Chart's Pennant .

 The pair is currently hovering above the Resistance of this Pennant, which was formed following that sharp breakout that started in October of 2014. Pennants and Ranges, which are setups that reflect low levels of liquidity, are usually formed after these aggressive market movements. 
DAILY CHART - PENNANT SETUP
This current Pennant setup is taking place within the context of a strong uptrend, which would provide added momentum for a Bullish Breakout.
DAILY CHART - UPTREND LINES

Taking a closer look at the Pennant, we can see that there has been a temporary breakout above Resistance that was quickly met by a bearish pullback. This has led to the formation of a Counter Trend Line (CTL) setup which, if broken by a strong enough Bullish Candle, will be the signal for us to start buying US Dollars.

DAILY CHART - COUNTER TREND LINE 
On the other hand, this pullback could also be the start of a move that carries us back down to the Support boundary.

DAILY CHART- BEARISH REVERSAL?

This would either followed by another rally back to Resistance or a breakout below Support to the Inner Uptrend Line.
TRADE DECISIONS

 If a Bullish Candle forms above the CTL convincingly and confirms to our rules for Normal Candles, going long will be a strong possibility. If the bearish move were to continue towards Support instead, trading this may too risky given the small distance to this boundary. However, if a suitable bearish candle starts the breakout towards the Inner Uptrend Line, then this will be analyzed for a short trade.

As predicted several days ago, the GBP has rallied sharply above major Support area of 1,2000 to start an uptrend that will take it up to the 1,2750 area by Wednesday January 25th, 2017.

STRATEGY NOW UP BY 23.78% WITH RECENT 2.00% USD CHF TRADE

Image
This trade involved trading the False Breakout Reversal Setup that was taking place on the Daily and 4 Hour Charts last week, amidst the period of risk aversion across markets in reaction to the on going Coronavirus outbreak. This quick and aggressive trade took just 4 Hours in providing me with a 2.00% Rate of Return, just ahead of the Bullish Reversal that took place at Support. With this result, the new strategy is now up by 23.78% from just 14 trades, pushing me closer to the next major target of a 30% Rate of Return. As long as we carefully and patiently wait to only trade the setups with a High Probability of Success, large Rates of Return are possible for us in this difficult market.  VIDEO HIGHLIGHT OF THE USD CHF TRADE The main factors related to this trade that you'll seen in the Manual and in the more detailed Video Analysis available only to my subscribers were: 1.

GBP CAD PROVIDES A 140-PIP TRADING GAIN FROM FALSE CONSOLIDATION BREAKOUT REVERSAL

Image
This successful trade took advantage of the sharp False Breakout Reversal from the Pennant Consolidation on the Daily Chart that started on December 3, 2015. As with all of these types of setups, the initial breakout attempt was quickly taken out by a strong, opposing signal that led to a breakout at the other end of the Consolidation. Given that this setup was in sync with the theory of False Breakouts that is outlined on Page 54 of the Trading Manual, the trade provided a strong gain of 140 Pips. The graph below shows one of the examples of False Breakouts that are explained in detail in the Manual. FALSE BREAKOUT SETUPS As you can see from the Daily Chart of the GBP CAD below, the setup was almost exactly the same as the one above.  DAILY CHART FALSE BREAKOUT PENNANT SETUP (FXCM Charts used to provide Entry Signals based on the New York Candle Close of the Daily Chart) Following the Bear Candle that attempted a breakout at Support, the bulls
