USDJPY 15 min chart – red lines dominating, momentum pointing up but faces the invisible hand

After yesterday’s false break to the downside we are back to staring at 150.89 and the invisible hand guarding it.
A break/close above 150.79 would produce an outside week key reversal BUT ONLY A FIRM BREAK OF 150.84-89 WOULD OPEN THE DOOR ON THE UPSIDE.
Expect support on dips as long as 150.30 holds.
Clearly risk on, but stalling at the moment. Buy stops worked beautifully now looking to re-enter lower on the risk currencies (Eur-Aud etc). Not biting on the buy side of UsdJpy going forward due to BoJ, worked yesterday but sell stops turned out to be more appropriate. Seller of UsdJpy going forward even if I have to wait for buy side of the market to run out of steam.

USDJPY 30 Min Chart – Invisible hand 1, Market 0

Having failed to take out the invisible hand protecting 150.89 (double top at 159.84) left the market vulnerable to the BoJ yak on interest rate risk
So, far the move down paused above the 149.53 bottom of the range, leaving the focus on 150 to set the trading tone.
Expect more chop if it stays within 149.53 and 150.84/89)
