USDJPY D1(Daily) Chart Analysis – Bullish Rally, Bearish Divergence, Stochastic Oscillator, Strong Support Zone

On the daily chart we had a bullish rally which ended with a bearish divergence based on the MACD indicator. Currently it looks like a correction is happening, after the first move down it looks like a pullback is happening now. Also, based on the Stochastic Oscillator we could see that the price has reached its extreme which we may consider as evidence of bearish pressure. In addition to this, currently there are no signs opposing this bearish view. So based on all this my view here is bearish and I expect the price to move lower towards the strong support zone shown in the image below (marked in red) around the 107 area.

 

 

USDJPY H4(4 Hours) Chart Analysis – Two Possible Scenarios

In my point of view, on the H4 chart there are two possible scenarios, which are as follows:

Scenario 1

The price might move higher from the current zone and reach the key resistance zone formed by the 100%(110.599) Fibonacci expansion level of the first wave, respect it and move lower from this zone. Alternatively if the price moves higher further, breaks and holds above the invalidation level (marked in red line) then this bearish view will be invalidated.

 

Scenario 2

Alternatively if the price moves lower and if we get a valid breakout below the most recent uptrend line and the strong support zone, we may then consider it as a validation for the bearish view and then we may expect the price to continue lower further.

So based on these two possible scenarios my view here is bearish and I expect the price to move lower further until the invalidation level holds.
