USDCHF and USDJPY have both been extremely bullish for over a month. But, given the fact that they’d also reached the upper atmosphere of their monthly price ranges, I was waiting for them to turn around and head south, which now appears to be happening.
So, my question is, with the two pairs still being technically bullish, how long will this descending leg last, and what is the best way to trade it?
Moreover, seeing as how USDCHF has been coming down since April of 2019, when it topped out at around 1.0231 , and USDJPY has been coming down ever since December of 2016, when it topped out at approximately 118.61, am I correct in regarding them as still being technically bullish, or would it make more sense to regard them as being overall bearish and therefore, capable of sustaining a southbound course for three or more weeks?

- One idea is to look to sell following the formation of any green four-hour candlestick.
- Another is to evaluate the possibility of entering a short position any time price is rejected at or near the 12-hour and/or 24-hour level of temporal resistance.
- A third possibility is to sell when the 40-minute baseline reverses direction within or near the upper bands of the 90-minute price range.
