The current USDJPY price action around 159.076 is critical. My risk management rule is to always secure profits on moves exceeding 100 pips, especially during these high-volatility overlaps. I typically use a fixed percentage stop loss, no more than 1% of capital per trade, to manage downside.

Continuing on that risk management point, for USDJPY specifically, I've found that maintaining a strict 1:2 risk-reward ratio is essential. When I enter a trade, I'm already targeting at least double the potential loss. If the setup isn't offering that, I simply don't take it. It filters out a lot of marginal opportunities but protects capital. Also, regarding Priya's point about the trap, I'm watching the 158.70 area closely. If that 50-period SMA on the H4 breaks decisively, it could signal a short-term reversal, but I'll need to see more volume confirmation. For now, the overall bullish trend on D1 remains intact, so any dip is likely a buying opportunity for scalpers.
