  Remarks
  • USD/JPY tried to test the multi-year high this week and was rejected before reaching the target of 151.945
  • However, momentum remains strong and USD/JPY is in a tight bull channel within a broad bull channel
  • Given this, we may expect another leg up to test the high before taking a breather to come back down to the bottom of the broad bull channel
  • Traders who are bearish USD/JPY from here on can structure a short trade on a re-test of the recent high (or multi-year high of 151.945 if conservative) for a move down to bottom of broad bull channel
  • Alternative case is presented above for traders who remain bullish on USD/JPY to structure a breakout trade
