Potential Short trade on USD/JPY

Written by Musa Makoni | 22 Sep 2017

 

On the back of the developments in North Korea we have seen some safe-haven buying in Gold. Given the positive correlation between Gold and Yen strength, I expect the Yen to strengthen further from the current price level. However it needs to break below its 100-hour moving average to confirm the bearish move, aggressive traders can start shorting now but I would recommend you wait for the confirmation.

Trade Summary

 

ENTRY: 111.80

TARGET PRICE: 111.20

STOP LOSS: 112.20

Once the USD/JPY moves below 111.50 move your stop loss to 111.70. Take some profits at 111.40.
