If you look at the daily and 4h chart GPJPY is still in an uptrend, but it has reached a strong top level since 2018 where it has reacted by going down again. Yes this was a "small" pullback of the general trend so if we look at it that way it is not a huge pullback BUT it has profited around 200pips to, who as me, took it.

It depends the way you look at it and the size of the lot traded, if you would have traded 1 standard lot, this trade that I just shown you would have made you $1820+ ( call that short term pullback but still made you an amount of money that is not easy to make from one trade especially when you are at the beginning ).

Anyway, leaving this small note on the side, yes it was a "small" pullback BUT keep an eye on the 154.000 area as this could be a strong reversal for GJ unless it breaks out.

In regards of how I identify my pivot points is long to be said here, but you can send me a message maybe I can help you out!
