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

Ross J Burland FXStreet

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:

Gold slips below $4,000 despite risk-off mood as hawkish Fed expectations weigh

Gold (XAU/USD) remains under pressure on Friday, slipping to $3,965 during Asian trading hours, its lowest level since July.
