2026/08/25 USD/JPY Trade Strategy

Today's USD/JPY call: Buy.
The uptrend continues from yesterday.
Price is grinding higher while making higher lows, but it is approaching the range high on the 4-hour chart (H4).
While watching out for a possible sharp drop, I’m looking to buy the dip in the near term.
Review

I went long at ○1, thinking price was making higher lows and might rise for a while.
It broke above the high but dropped right back, so it ended in a breakeven exit.
After that, it was wait and see.
From late night onward, you could call it a bearish shift, but on the 1-hour chart the shape looked more like buying the dip, so it was hard to get involved.
