AUD/JPY 15-min chart long entry strategy playing out

This was a live price action developing trade story. 

The objectives of the following are as follows:

  • Protect capital. 
  • Breakeven.
  • Hit 15-min profit target 1@ 75.35.
  • Hit daily profit target 2@ 75.44.

The bulls have just broken up from a bullish Reverse Head and Shoulders completion pattern on the 15-min time frame.

A retest and hold above the neckline and support structure could confirm the bullish bias for a long entry with a stop below the structure.

So far, so good

As can be seen, as time goes by, the trade set-up is solid.

Bulls will look to move to their stop that is protected by structure to a breakeven point on a break and hold above new upside structure around 75.33 at the time of publishing the latest update.

Breakeven achieved: 

Profit target 1 achieved:

Additional technical notes 

  • AUD/JPY is showing a 1-month high. 
  • Trend Strenght 4HR chart.

From a daily perspective, bulls hold above key structure as seen in the following chart with the upside target formed from the daily correction at wave 2.

GBP/USD rebounds from multi-day lows; still below 1.3600

Following an initial drop to fresh six-day lows, GBP/USD now picks up some updside traction and trades in levels just shy of the 1.3600 barrier on Thursday. The generalised cautious tone among market participants continue to underpin the Greenback ahead of Friday’s data releases and the Fed Warsh’s speech.

EUR/USD now manages to regain some composure, trimming earlier losses and reclaiming the mid-1.1600s on Thursday.

Gold holds steady around $4,600 as traders eye Fed's Warsh for rate cues

Gold languishes near the $4,600 mark through the first half of the European session on Thursday and remains close to the weekly low it touched the previous day. The downside, however, seems limited as traders opt to wait for US Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh's speech at the Jackson Hole Symposium on Friday for cues on the future policy path. The outlook, in turn, will play a key role in influencing the US Dollar price dynamics and provide some meaningful impetus to the non-yielding bullion.

Kevin Warsh’s Jackson Hole dilemma: Say too much, too little, or just enough

Kevin Warsh is preparing to deliver his first Jackson Hole speech as Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair on Friday, and expectations extend well beyond whether interest rates will be raised or left unchanged in September.
