Hi Traders! AUDJPY short term forecast update and follow up is here. On February 1st 2024 I shared this “AUDJPY Technical Analysis And Short Term Forecast” post in our blog. In this post, let’s do a recap of this setup and see how it has developed now.

My Idea
On the H1 chart, currently, we have a strong bearish momentum and the price which is moving lower has broken below a strong support zone and is holding below it, we may consider this as evidence of bearish pressure. After the breakout, this strong support zone is acting as a strong resistance zone for us. Also, based on the Heikin Ashi candles we can see that currently, we have strong bearish bodies in downward-moving market conditions so it basically reflects a bearish environment. In addition to this, the price has also created lower lows based on the MACD indicator, which is another sign of gaining momentum toward the bearish side. Also, the ADX indicator gave a bearish signal here at the cross of -DI (red line) versus +DI (green line) and the main signal line (silver line) reads value over 25 which we may consider as yet another evidence of bearish pressure. So the bottom line here is that, everything looks good here for the bears and I expect the price to move lower further in the short term after pullbacks until the strong resistance zone (marked in red) shown in the image below holds.
Based on the above-mentioned analysis my short-term view was bearish here and until the strong resistance zone holds I was expecting the price to move lower further after pullbacks. The price action didn’t follow my analysis here and this idea failed. The price moved higher and provided a short move to the downside but then the price moved higher further and reached the strong resistance zone but the price didn’t hold in this zone as I expected it to. The price then moved higher further and we got a valid breakout above this strong resistance zone thus invalidating this short-term bearish view. My current view on AUDJPY is neutral.
So, traders, this is why I wanted to show this example to help you understand why we should always trade based on the facts and hints provided by the market and take the right actions according to that. Even though we had various facts supporting the bearish view here, the price didn’t hold in the strong resistance zone as I expected it to and broke above them, which is a contradictory sign provided by the market opposing the bearish view. Also, you should keep in mind that losses are part of trading we can’t expect every trade to go as per our plan and provide us profits. In trading, we can’t avoid losses but in order to be successful in trading, we should know how to cut losses early and how to manage the trade when the price goes in the opposite direction.
