Yep, bought that reasoning the jpy pairs are on the brink of an up move, I guess really there's more room to the downside.....will buy that, too....one has to react to these spikes. small stop till later in the session.
EDIT......took that 3% and sitting on the sidelines....took all of 1 hour and ten minutes....ever notice that....you can always see 3%....we should just grab it when we see it....

With US government shutdown looming, and a very good chance of them waiting till the last second to approve a deal (Oct1), there was going to be a lot of safe haven buying. IE: Yen buying

With this in mind, 20 minutes before closing on Friday, I opened a short looking for a decent gap down.

Short @ 158.50
SL: 20 pips
TP: 60 pips (157.90)

Trade Idea: 20 pip stop on the off chance the US government came to a deal (highly unlikely)

Plan for the week, stay clear until a deal is made then hop on some longs.

Hmmm
If your post was dated Friday after the close I might believe you, even I could have posted this today

OK, a fast run up to 158.6 on 11 September, followed by a very long slow and low momentum move sideways (left side), followed by a quick run to 159.9 on Sep 19.

Then, after a modest drop we had some fast spikes (right side) to 159.2 and 159, forming what takes the appearance of the right side an off-center h&S.

Then today an inability to reclaim above 158.5.

All the while taking SO many days, now going into 2 weeks.

------------------------

All that's missing now is a break below 157.6 to maybe 156.5/8 and then a failure to get back over either 158 or 158.3.

-----------------------

If the last bit fails to eventuate, or the retest rises over 158.6, it's just a regular correction.

If the last bit DOES happen, if nothing else, it fits the parameters of and MAY be a reversal - at least in the medium term. But, even then it could still end up just being a complex correction, so I guess this doesn't really help, other than just being a possibility at the moment.

A reversal of this size would probably take GJ down below 154.

Unfortunately, trading in conditions such as this (be it a correction or otherwise) is extremely hard, other than just hopefully picking up a few pips along the way. Once it is finally established what this formation really is, we will have have a better idea of break out levels .. and these should be easier to trade.

For now, UJ appears to be dragging us down, which is unexpected, as Uj really should have bounced at 97.8 and defintely SHOULD bounce at around 97.1. If it fails to bounce much below there (like 96.8), then it may have negated its bullish triangle.

hey there....welcome....trade short term....if possible....be watching the charts at the London Open....and notice the moves reverse at the 30 minute marks on the clock....the big boys must be watching the 30 minute chart. With this trade...punch out within 1 hour....or sometimes 30 minutes...
You're looking for the reversals, despite what we hear so much by the rookies/disinfo agents....there's way less risk....and it works

With this week's run of Chinese banks holidays (also German banks on Thursday) do you think its better to stay out of the market to be safe, or will the GBPJPY keep going strong regardless?
The daily range is usually smaller with more chop on those days, but in this case its almost a whole week!

We will know if it's complete if it gets back below about 158.6/7.

Trying to catch up here slowly but surely. While I don't like to offer straight up advice because of the risk of being wrong, I am pretty confident that GJ will move up from here, currently just above 159. If you trade off the 4H like aluko says he does, it's a tough call. I wouldn't want to be short right now, except for maybe a quick scalp on 30m or less. But I am long as of now.

Sorry I'm just starting to catch up here otherwise I would've posted my thoughts sooner. I can give a more full analysis later, but I see the potential US shutdown situation as simply an opportunity to "buy the dips".
