JR SMC Pre-Asia Session Plan

Mon 29 Jun 2026 · 05:55 Dubai · Generated for Tokyo open

Outside kill zone — next: London KZ in 5h 5m (11:00 Dubai). Lower probability window; wait for stronger confirmation on all setups.


GBP/USD

Bias: Bullish (1H ↑ · 4H neutral · 1D ↓) — structure aligned long but HTF divergence caps conviction.

Setup: Continuation (pro-trend)

BUY ZONE — 1H + 15m Bull FVG (PRIME)

  • Side: BUY
  • Zone: 1.31588–1.31758
  • Strategy: JR Pro Trend — retest of stacked value → bullish engulfing or iFVG
  • Entry: Engulfing on 1m/3m inside zone (~1.3170)
  • SL: Below zone → 1.3153
  • TP1: Swing High (HH) 1.3232 — partial 50%
  • TP2: Next major HTF liq 1.3243 — trail
  • R:R: ~1.1:1 to TP1

Status: Zone tapped 4289m ago, already reacted 5.27 ATR. Price returned after initial move — late entry risk. Wait for fresh 1m/3m bullish engulfing or iFVG formation inside the zone before entering. If no clean LTF trigger appears, stand down.

BUY ZONE — 15m Bull FVG

  • Side: BUY
  • Zone: 1.31902–1.3191
  • Strategy: JR Pro Trend — shallow retest → bullish continuation
  • Entry: Engulfing on 1m/3m (~1.3191)
  • SL: Below zone → 1.3185
  • TP1: Swing High (HH) 1.3232 — partial 50%
  • TP2: Next major HTF liq 1.3209 — trail
  • R:R: ~1.5:1 to TP1

Status: Zone tapped 3389m ago, reacted 3.83 ATR. Price currently inside. Live zone — watch for 1m/3m rejection wick + engulfing or stand down if clean close above.

Game Plan:
Watch two live buy zones stacked below current price. Price chopped inside both overnight — late-entry context. Only trigger if fresh 1m/3m engulfing or iFVG appears inside either zone. Target Swing HH 1.3232 (PDH cluster). Path has minor 15m Bear FVG 1.32155–1.32157 overhead — expect resistance there. Outside kill zone; demand strong LTF confirmation.

Invalidation: 15m body close below 1.3158 → both zones broken, stand down.


EUR/USD

Bias: Bearish (1D ↓ · 4H neutral · 1H neutral) — HTF down bias but structure muddled at LTF.

Setup: Continuation (pro-trend short)

SELL ZONE — 1H + 15m Bear FVG (PRIME)

  • Side: SELL
  • Zone: 1.13904–1.13923
  • Strategy: JR Pro Trend — tap value → LTF bearish iFVG already formed
  • Entry: iFVG 1.14000–1.14000 confirmed (~1.1390)
  • SL: Above zone → 1.1397
  • TP1: London Low 1.1385 — partial 50%
  • TP2: Swing Low (HL) 1.1371 — trail
  • R:R: ~1.5:1 to TP1

Status: Tapped 13m ago, minimal reaction yet (0.08 ATR). Fresh 15m Bear iFVG formed in/near zone — aggressive entry signal per JR playbook. LIVE ENTRY WINDOW — can enter on iFVG alone or wait for 1m/3m bearish engulfing for confirmation.

SELL ZONE — 15m Bear FVG

  • Side: SELL
  • Zone: 1.1418–1.14192
  • Strategy: JR Pro Trend — retest overhead value → bearish continuation
  • Entry: Engulfing on 1m/3m (~1.1418)
  • SL: Above zone → 1.1424
  • TP1: London Low 1.1385 — partial 50%
  • TP2: Next major HTF liq 1.1401 — trail
  • R:R: ~3.1:1 to TP1

Status: Tapped 2728m ago, reacted 4.08 ATR. Price well below — old move, late entry risk. Only re-enter if price returns and fresh LTF bear trigger appears.

Game Plan:
Prime zone 1.1390–1.1392 tapped NOW with fresh bear iFVG — highest-probability short setup on the board. Enter on iFVG (aggressive) or wait for 1m/3m bearish engulfing (conservative). Target London Low 1.1385 then Swing HL 1.1371. Overhead zone 1.1418 is stale unless price revisits. Outside kill zone; favour conservative 1m/3m engulfing confirm over iFVG-alone.

Invalidation: 15m body close above 1.1397 → prime zone broken, stand down.


GBP/JPY

Bias: Bullish (1H ↑ · 4H neutral · 1D ↓) — same HTF split as GBP/USD.

Setup: Continuation (pro-trend long)

BUY ZONE — 1H + 15m Bull FVG

  • Side: BUY
  • Zone: 213.02–213.24
  • Strategy: JR Pro Trend — retest value → bullish confirmation
  • Entry: Engulfing on 1m/3m inside zone (~213.15)
  • SL: Below zone → 212.94
  • TP1: PDH 213.54 — partial 50%
  • TP2: Swing High (HH) 213.83 — trail
  • R:R: ~1.0:1 to TP1

Status: Tapped 4288m ago, reacted 3.46 ATR, price returned. Late entry context. Wait for fresh 1m/3m bullish engulfing or iFVG formation before entering.

BUY ZONE — 15m + 1D + 4H Bull FVG (PRIME)

  • Side: BUY
  • Zone: 211.75–212.84
  • Strategy: JR Pro Trend — deep HTF value → bullish continuation
  • Entry: Engulfing on 1m/3m inside zone (~212.50)
  • SL: Below zone → 211.66
  • TP1: PDH 213.54 — partial 50%
  • TP2: Swing High (HH) 213.83 — trail
  • R:R: ~0.6:1 to TP1

Status: Tapped 5878m ago, reacted 5.84 ATR. Stale, 4 ATR away. Only re-enter if price revisits and fresh LTF trigger appears. RR weak (<2) — skip unless deeper pullback.

Game Plan:
Two old buy zones; neither fresh. Only trade if price revisits 213.02–213.24 and delivers fresh 1m/3m bullish engulfing or iFVG. Overhead 15m Bear FVG 213.63–213.68 will cap upside. Target PDH 213.54 then Swing HH 213.83. Outside kill zone; demand strong LTF confirm. Prime zone too deep and RR poor — avoid unless major pullback.

Invalidation: 15m body close below 213.02 → upper zone broken, stand down.


EUR/JPY

Bias: Bearish (1D ↓ · 4H neutral · 1H neutral) — HTF down bias, structure muddled.

Setup: Continuation (pro-trend short)

SELL ZONE — 1H Bear FVG (PRIME)

  • Side: SELL
  • Zone: 184.43–184.52
  • Strategy: JR Pro Trend — tap HTF value → fresh bear iFVG formed
  • Entry: iFVG 184.24–184.27 confirmed (~184.43)
  • SL: Above zone → 184.59
  • TP1: Asia Low 184.13 — partial 50%
  • TP2: Swing Low (HL) 183.93 — trail
  • R:R: ~1.8:1 to TP1

Status: Tapped 2667m ago, reacted 2.66 ATR, price returned. Fresh 15m Bear iFVG 184.24–184.27 formed in/near zone — aggressive entry signal. Late entry but iFVG strengthens case.

SELL ZONE — 15m Bear FVG

  • Side: SELL
  • Zone: 184.54–184.55
  • Strategy: JR Pro Trend — retest minor overhead → bearish continuation
  • Entry: Engulfing on 1m/3m (~184.54)
  • SL: Above zone → 184.62
  • TP1: Asia Low 184.13 — partial 50%
  • TP2: Next major HTF liq 184.29 — trail
  • R:R: ~5.0:1 to TP1

Status: Tapped 2727m ago, reacted 3.42 ATR. Stale, price well below. Only re-enter if price revisits and fresh LTF trigger appears.

Game Plan:
Prime zone 184.43–184.52 already tapped with fresh bear iFVG — can enter on iFVG alone (aggressive) or wait for 1m/3m bearish engulfing (conservative). Target Asia Low 184.13 then Swing HL 183.93. Overhead zones 184.54 and 184.57 are old; ignore unless price revisits. Outside kill zone; favour conservative 1m/3m engulfing over iFVG-alone.

Invalidation: 15m body close above 184.59 → prime zone broken, stand down.


XAU/USD (Gold)

Bias: Bullish (1H ↑ · 4H neutral · 1D ↓) — LTF long bias but HTF bearish pressure.

Setup: Continuation (pro-trend long)

BUY ZONE — 1H + 15m + 1D + 4H Bull FVG (PRIME)

  • Side: BUY
  • Zone: 4044.57–4080.77
  • Strategy: JR Pro Trend — massive stacked value → bullish continuation
  • Entry: Engulfing on 1m/3m inside zone (~4070)
  • SL: Below zone → 4035.66
  • TP1: PDH 4091.22 — partial 50%
  • TP2: Swing High (HH) 4216.08 — trail
  • R:R: ~0.2:1 to TP1

Status: Tapped 12m ago, currently INSIDE zone. Minimal reaction yet (0.59 ATR). LIVE ENTRY WINDOW — wait for 1m/3m bullish engulfing or iFVG formation. RR to TP1 extremely poor (<2) — only trade if TP2 extension in view.

Game Plan:
Massive 4-confluence buy zone active NOW — price chopping inside. RR to PDH 4091.22 is weak (0.2:1) — this is a scalp-to-extension play only. Enter on 1m/3m bullish engulfing or iFVG, take 50% at PDH, trail remainder to Swing HH 4095.32 or HTF target 4216. Outside kill zone; demand strong LTF confirm. If no clean trigger in next 1H, stand down — price may consolidate through Asia.

Invalidation: 15m body close below 4044.57 → zone broken, stand down.

Pick 1–2: Outside kill zone; all setups lower probability. EUR/USD short has cleanest iFVG trigger and best RR. XAU/USD long is live but RR poor — scalp only if strong LTF confirm. GBP pairs late-entry; wait for fresh triggers or stand down. Risk 0.5–1% per trade max.
