Bearish Engulfing Reversal in USD/JPY

Short
FX:USDJPY   U.S. Dollar / Japanese Yen
Technical Analysis: Identifying a sustained uptrend in USD/JPY on the daily chart.
Bearish Engulfing Pattern: Observing a bearish engulfing pattern where a larger bearish candle fully engulfs the previous smaller bullish candle, signaling a potential trend reversal.
Execution:

Entry Point: Initiate a short position (sell) after the confirmation of the bearish engulfing pattern. Ensure the second candle closes below the low of the previous bullish candle.

Stop-Loss: Set a stop-loss order just above the high of the bearish engulfing pattern to manage risk in case of a false reversal.

Take-Profit: Establish a take-profit level based on a risk-reward ratio, targeting a recent support level or using technical analysis tools like Fibonacci retracement levels.

Risk Management:

Position Size: Determine the position size based on the percentage of total capital at risk. Avoid risking more than 1-2% of the trading capital on a single trade.
Monitoring: Regularly monitor the trade for any signs of reversal failure or unexpected market events.
Additional Considerations:

Market Sentiment: Keep an eye on overall market sentiment and potential influences on the USD or JPY.
