USD/JPY 4H Timeframe Analysis
Trend:
USD/JPY is in an uptrend but has lost buying momentum. The price recently broke below two minor support levels (previously resistance) and continued falling towards the minor key support zone at 151.500. After a slight retracement, sellers pushed the price lower, hitting the major support zone at 149.000. The market is now forming lower lows and lower highs, with the trendline also broken.
Price Action Expectation:
The trendline and key support have been broken, signaling a shift. We expect the price to retest and break the minor support again, potentially triggering buyers' stop-loss liquidations. Once the price rises and breaks the previous minor resistance, we’ll place a buy stop order at 151.600, with a stop loss just below the liquidity zone at 150.860. Our take profit target is the next minor key resistance at 153.230.
Trade Setup: Buy Stop
Entry: 151.600
Stop Loss: 150.860 (below the liquidity zone)
Take Profit: 153.230 (next minor key resistance)
Risk: 1%
Fundamental Outlook:
Upcoming CPI Data: The upcoming U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) report is expected to impact USD/JPY. If inflation remains high, it could strengthen the U.S. dollar, leading to upward pressure on USD/JPY. Conversely, lower-than-expected inflation could weaken the dollar, creating bearish pressure on the pair.
