USDJPY - Time to Short at 158.00?

It appears USDJPY is at a near all time high. Last breach apparently (according to ChatGPT) was in 1987.

Anyone else long term shorting this? If so whats your entry?

I’m asking as i’m a beginner and don’t want to ■■■■ it up

Hi @bubbs83

Based on the weekly chart, I am long on this pair.

Daily chart is also bullish:

Who knows, the USD might crash causing a reversal next week, that’s the nature of FX and why you use a SL, but I see no reason to short it at this time.

I don’t quite understand what that means, or why it’s relevant.

I’m flat, for now, but would far rather be long than short, if I had to pick a direction. I’m not averse to finding a potential long entry from suitable price action. (As always, I may be wrong.)

Nothing wrong with that.

Better to have a plan and be wrong than to take a gamble and be wrong. It’s always best to just trade what you see.
