The Japanese cross was trading in the oversold region below a solid resistance level of 129.850. That’s where we entered our sell position to target 129.450. But the market reversed before hitting our target.

As soon as the market broke out of the 129.850 resistance, we decided to reverse the position. Soon our position hit the take profit at 130.150.
