Public trading strategy
Fed signals higher rates, dollar surges — ride the momentum against the Japanese
Thesis
When the Fed hints at higher interest rates, money floods into the US dollar because investors can earn better returns holding it. At the same time, the Japanese yen is already reeling from its own weak economy. With the dollar gaining serious momentum and the yen sitting at a two-year low, betting on the dollar to keep beating the yen is a classic momentum trade that leans into a clear trend rather than fighting it.
Strategy approach
Build a rule-based strategy that enters long USDJPY on H4 when the price is within 1% of a new 20-day high and RSI(14) > 65, with a 10-day max hold and a 2% trailing stop.
