The USDJPY has broken higher in an explosive move out of its trend channel. While retail traders on the ActivTrader platform continue to look for shorts, as seen by their extreme positioning on the ActivTrader sentiment indicator.
For a couple of days now we have been monitoring the USDJPY which has been showing momentum to the upside on the daily and weekly charts and is currently correcting sideways on the monthly chart.

A move above 111.00 now signals a breakout from the March trading range and signals much higher prices as the last few months have been consolidating between 111.00 and 107.00. Ultimately looking at the breakout on the monthly chart the 2015 highs look the most likely target but we need to get through a lot of price action from 2017 – 2018.

The US dollar move from the start of todays US session open has meant that the DXY has also made a clear break of a significant swing high and is leaving the daily 200 ema as support below. The next major resistance level is the recent swing high and should coincide with a test of the daily 200 ema on TLT.

Both the GBPUSD and EURUSD are looking considerably weaker with the rising US dollar strength and have a rising support line approaching current price action. I will be looking to get short on a clear break below this trend line, on a retest with the aim of looking for a continuation lower. Waiting for this market structure break will offer a decent area to place my stops and limit my risk. It also means I can monitor whether the price action makes new lower lows and whether the stochastic confirms this or not. If the stochastic indicator is not adding confirmation, I will see if we can get a false break down and a close back across the trend line for a continuation trade higher.
