2026/6/24 Today’s USDJPY long

Today's USD/JPY Review

Today was a day that could be seen in a relatively clean scenario as planned.

I have been trading for more than 10 years now, but ultimately, the situations where it’s easier to win haven’t changed much from then to now.

That is,“when the direction of the higher time frame and the timing of the short-term time frame align”.

This time’s USD/JPY was exactly such a market.

① Recognize the environment with DAO

First, looking at the DAO,

• Monthly EMA20 rising
• Weekly EMA20 rising
• Daily EMA20 rising
• 4-hour EMA20 rising
• 1-hour EMA20 rising

and all timeframes are in a buying phase.

When everything aligns like this, there is hardly any reason to consider selling.

Of course, markets can move down, but that’s just a correction.

The basic scenario was to think about “where to buy.”

In the old days, I used to counter-trend in such moments, but looking back now, I think it only reduced my win rate (lol).
  

② Confirm important price zones with JCL

With JCL as well,

Pink, Orange, and Blue are all in a bullish setup.

In other words, many market participants were also mindful of the upside.

However, what caught my attention were

the Blue high near 161.797 and

the Pink high near 161.916.

Even in an uptrend, these kinds of resistance levels often stop prices once, so you don’t want to jump in impulsively.

“If it breaks through, it’s strong, but it’s not a place to rush in to buy.”

That was my impression.

③ Create the scenario with D×J

DAO and JCL both show buying pressure.

Then the action is simple.

Instead of chasing highs,

buy on pullbacks.

That’s all.

As I’ve traded longer, I’ve learned that those who extend profits aren’t doing more complicated things.

Rather, they strictly adhere to

which is a basic principle.

④ Entry judgment with the Kintōun

The actual entry decision is the Kintōun chart.

Red clouds indicating buyers are dominant appear on the Kintōun, and prices stay above the cloud.

Confirm the direction with DAO,

recognize important price zones with JCL,

and time your entry with the Kintōun.

This flow fit together beautifully.

Personally, I use the Kintōun less as a tool for entering and more as a tool to confirm whether it’s a good place to enter.

Using it this way reduces unnecessary trades.

What I noticed today

When watching the market, it’s easy to overcomplicate things.

But looking at today’s USD/JPY,

in the end it was

• look at direction with DAO
• look at price zones with JCL
• look at timing with the Kintōun

that was enough.

By stacking simple advantages rather than flashy methods, the results are more stable.
