This seems like a make or break time for USDJPY, with 150 clearly a psychological level that was thought to be off the radar but here it is back again… it is also a level whether there are probably options to one that could be defended vs potential stops..
Chart shows a void above 150 until 155.20. See FIBOS below just in case. there is 150 break
I found this definition on the web. I use it differently, which is directional risk is the side of the market most at risk of moving in that direction. In the current, market directional risk is on the USD upside. Taking it one step further, it is the side of the market where stops are most at risk of being run.
This is the web’s definition:
What is a directional risk?
The RISK of loss arising from exposure to the direction of a reference ASSET or market. An investor holding a LONG POSITION experiences a loss if market prices fall and a gain if they rise; one holding a SHORT POSITION generates a gain when market prices fall and a loss as they rise.
