Analysis of transactions and trading tips on USD/JPY
No price tests occurred in the pair, but things may change after the release of US data. A significant deviation from the forecasts will lead to a surge in market volatility, allowing for some directional movement to be achieved. Otherwise, trading will remain within the range, with an advantage for dollar bulls.
For long positions:
Buy when the price hits 151.47 (green line on the chart) and take profit at 152.00. Growth will occur after strong reports from the US.
When buying, ensure that the MACD line lies above zero or rises from it. Also consider buying USD/JPY after two consecutive price tests of 151.25, but the MACD line should be in the oversold area as only by that will the market reverse to 151.47 and 151.99.
For short positions:
Sell when the price reaches 151.25 (red line on the chart) and take profit at 150.77. Pressure will return in the case of poor data and an unsuccessful return of buyers to the market around the daily high.
When selling, ensure that the MACD line lies below zero or drops down from it. Also consider selling USD/JPY after two consecutive price tests of 151.47, but the MACD line should be in the overbought area as only by that will the market reverse to 151.25 and 150.77.

MACD line- it is important to be guided by overbought and oversold areas when entering the market
Important: Novice traders need to be very careful when making decisions about entering the market. Before the release of important reports, it is best to stay out of the market to avoid being caught in sharp fluctuations in the rate. If you decide to trade during the release of news, then always place stop orders to minimize losses. Without placing stop orders, you can very quickly lose your entire deposit, especially if you do not use money management and trade large volumes.
And remember that for successful trading, you need to have a clear trading plan. Spontaneous trading decision based on the current market situation is an inherently losing strategy for an intraday trader.
