Chart of the Day -USDJPY- (October 29th, 2020)

On October 21st the USDJPY was our chart of the day and overnight we managed to break lower from the triangle formation and get very close to the 104.00 level. By the end of the session, we closed back above the 104.50 level which should have the bears attention. The risk of a reversal is high especially by the end of the week we close above the 104.50 level, and a false breakdown could lead to a breakout (higher) in the weeks ahead. If you look longer term (not pictured) over the last three years the USDJPY dropped close to 104.50 and turned higher immediately except for March of this year due to COVID 19 which took a week or two to turn higher. Knowing that, it is hard to be short USDJPY down here while above the 104.00 level.
