Strategy: Pending Long

Weekly Profit / Loss: -102 pips

Total Profit / Loss: -132 pips

Our long USDJPY positionwas stopped out as prices closed below 86.26 on 8/3. Still, our fundamental outlookcalls for an upside scenario. Technically, this is reinforced by continued positive RSI divergence as well as the emergence of a Falling Wedge bullish reversal chart pattern within the boundaries of a larger falling established from April. As such, we will treat recent weakness as an opportunity to buy at a better price and look for a new long entry in the days ahead.
