USDJPY | Perspective for the new week | follow-up details

By darcsherry

Many are still expecting a Fed pause next month but the jobs market isn't cooperating as it record a 13th straight month of non-farm payrolls beating the consensus estimate. A crisis of confidence among regional and mid-sized U.S. banks, which first broke out in March, has also resurfaced, and adding to these concerns is the potential U.S. debt default, the first-ever if Republican lawmakers in Congress continue their political wrangling with the Biden administration instead of having the debt ceiling raised. In this video, we have taken the time to dissect the current USDJPy chart from a technical standpoint to decipher the likely potential of price movement in the coming week. Technically, a bullish momentum is foreseen but when and how it will happen is the bone of contention.

Price action breaks out of the 135.700 Level identified in the video to start the week with a strong bullish signal. Will this be a true or false breakout? Now we have a simple structure to guide our move for this week as we wait patiently for a signal in the form of a breakout or breakdown of the structure within the 135.700 and 136.260

Price action falls into a consolidation phase. If still in a buy position secure position. Looking forward to more buying opportunities at the breakout/retest of the 137.700 and a breakdown/retest of 137.350 MIGHT incite a retracement move.

Comment
After testing the 138.750 zone, we have observed how selling pressure resumes hereby leading to the breakdown of the trendline to send a bearish signal. This bearish move (if it holds) might be the beginning of a retracement of the bullish impulse leg and if this is the case, we have structures identified on the chart for trading opportunities where the descending trendline will guide the bearish opportunities. However, a breakout of this bearish trendline could change the bearish perspective to bullish.
