USDJPY bullish trend + 2 inside bars... the week of 28 Oct, 2024

This pair is bullish on all time frames and price is above the 200dma, adding to my bullish bias. It is good when you can find a few reasons to take a trade and an inside bar formation is my next reason. The large bullish candle on 23/10 was followed not by 1 but 2 inside bars. This shows a period of consolidation and when it appears on a daily chart within a trending market it is a strong indicator of trend continuation.
But a major s/r in the 152.80 region needs to be overcome before we look for bullish continuation. A convincing break above and a pullback to it will be the confirmation I need to take a long trade. If, however a strong move to the down side forms, that would invalidate my analysis.
My initial target would be in the 157.80 region with the possibility to let some part of the trade run higher.

This is not a trade recommendation. You should be aware that trading carries a high level of risk, so only trade with money you can afford to lose. Please use sound money and risk management, trading without a stop or moving the stop away from price is a recipe for disaster.
