Scenario Grid for the Next Session

Base Case (60%): Rotation and range-bound tactics between 183.75 and 186.75. Prioritize fades at the extremes unless a breakout is confirmed by a retest.
Upside Scenario (20%): Bullish acceptance above 186.75, targeting 188.00 and 189.00. This scenario is invalidated if the pivot at 185.00 is lost.
Downside Scenario (20%): Sustained trading below 183.75, targeting 182.75 and 181.75. Invalidation occurs upon a reclaim of the 185.00 pivot.

Execution Rules and Risk Management

In the current EUR JPY realtime environment, the highest quality signals come from retest quality rather than the initial spike. If a break occurs, wait for volatility to compress on the retest of the boundary; if price snaps back immediately, it is likely a liquidity trap.

Correlation and Sizing Sanity

Always perform a cluster check. If other yen pairs like CAD/JPY or AUD/JPY are not aligning with the move, treat breakouts with skepticism. Use realized range to tune your risk: wider ranges require smaller positions and wider stops to survive volatility swings.
