Simple SMC Short Setup on USDJPY (15min TF)

133
Here’s a short trade idea I’m watching on USDJPY using basic Smart Money Concepts (SMC).

🔍 What I saw:

The market made a Break of Structure (BOS) to the downside.

A Change of Character (CHoCH) confirmed that the trend might be shifting.

After the drop, price retraced back to a supply zone in the premium area—right near a swing high.

I also noticed a trendline liquidity sweep, which adds more confluence that this could be a trap before a drop.

📉 Plan:

Waited for price to tap the zone and react before entering short.

Stop loss is above the swing high (to protect against fakeouts).

Targeting the recent low for a potential clean move down.

This setup uses no indicators—just price action, supply & demand, and simple structure.

Drop your thoughts or questions below—I’m always open to feedback!
