2025/12/19 USD/JPY Trade Strategy

Today's USD/JPY call: Buy.
Price spiked up briefly and has come back down, leaving a long upper wick on the 1-hour chart (H1), but I’m still looking to buy.
From here, it looks like we can aim for a pullback around the price zone at A.
If price breaks above this price zone, it will break out of the 4-hour range, which puts the recent high on the daily chart within reach.
Review

It was Scenario A.
Right after I posted the scenario, price bounced off the pink line and rose, just as I had drawn with the A arrow.
After that it climbed in a straight line, and I took profit at the blue line at 157.37, right as it started to look like a double top. 120 pips
This blue line is a horizontal line I drew around June last year, and old horizontal levels like this often keep working even as time passes.
