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.

Gold sticks to modest losses above $5,000 ahead of US data

Gold sticks to modest intraday losses through the first half of the European session, though it holds comfortably above the $5,000 psychological mark and the daily swing low.
