Bullish Breakout $147.950 Fundamental Forces at Play Hawkish Shift by the Bank of Japan: Investors and traders have been closely monitoring the evolving monetary policies of the Bank of Japan. In the pipeline is a potential pivot towards a more hawkish stance in the coming months. This shift towards a tighter monetary policy framework has raised eyebrows and led to a flurry of discussions among market participants. US Economic Concerns and Interest Rates: The landscape is further complicated by concerns surrounding the economic performance of the United States. Expectations of lower US interest rates in the near future have loomed large, adding an additional layer of uncertainty to the mix. These developments have ignited expectations of the Japanese Yen gaining strength against the US Dollar. Projections even suggest that by late 2024, the Yen could appreciate to an impressive level of 133.00 against its American counterpart. This tantalizing prospect has certainly attracted short-term speculators, positioning themselves to reap the rewards of an anticipated Yen resurgence. A Closer Look at the US Economy: However, before we make assumptions, it's crucial to examine the economic landscape. The US economy is demonstrating remarkable resilience and strength. Key indicators, such as the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and robust retail sales figures, have surpassed expectations, underscoring robust consumer demand and spending habits. While new hiring may show signs of slowing, the absence of a surge in layoffs is making a substantial contribution to ongoing economic activity. Inflation and Interest Rate Sentiment: A pivotal point of interest revolves around the persistently rising trend in inflation. The release of United States data has triggered an immediate shift in sentiment concerning potential interest rate hikes. This twist in the narrative keeps traders on their toes, mindful of how central banks may react in the face of inflationary pressures. Technical Insights and the COT Report As we navigate these fundamental intricacies, a closer look at the Commitment of Traders (COT) report reveals an equally compelling narrative, offering insights into growing concerns and shifts in market sentiment. Persistent Increase in Open Interest: Over the past four weeks, open interest for the USD/JPY has consistently risen, signaling heightened market activity and increased interest in this currency pair. Smart Money Adjustments: A noteworthy development is the behavior of smart money, represented by Asset Managers/Institutional and Leveraged Funds. These 'buy-side' players, including pension funds, insurance companies, hedge funds, and money managers, have been gradually unwinding their net long positions. This cautious approach suggests institutional players may anticipate a change in market dynamics. Small Speculators Remain Engaged: In contrast, small speculators are still actively involved, striving to sustain bullish sentiment. Their persistence in the market indicates that there is a segment of traders who continue to believe in the USD/JPY's potential for upward movement. The Path Forward and Interest Rate Sentiment: The data from the COT report paints a picture of growing concerns and positioning adjustments. As open interest rises and smart money proceeds with unwinding net long positions, the path forward for the USD/JPY may significantly depend on market sentiment surrounding interest rate hikes. If central banks choose to tighten monetary policy, this could be a catalyst for further USD strength and, consequently, appreciation of the Yen. Technical Analysis and Upcoming Opportunities As we approach the highly anticipated FOMC meeting on the 20th, technical traders are meticulously crafting strategies to capitalize on potential bullish movements in the USD/JPY currency pair. Here's a glimpse into their playbook: Breakout Traders Are on Alert: Observing the order book, one can't help but notice a cluster of buy orders at 147.950, a historically tested level. Adding to the intrigue, a take-profit order is positioned at 148.345. Breakout traders are poised to seize the moment should the price surge beyond 147.950. Momentum and the RSI Indicator: Momentum traders are closely tracking the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator, which currently suggests room for further upward movement. This indicator takes on greater significance if the price successfully breaches the 147.950 level. Such a breakthrough could trigger a feedback trading loop, propelling the USD/JPY to even greater heights. The Upcoming Data Catalyst: Traders are keenly aware of the impending data release for Japan's Balance of Trade. Market expectations point to a deficit of ¥-659 billion. Should this expectation hold, it may exert additional downward pressure on the Japanese Yen, fueling the USD/JPY's upward momentum.

HISTORICLE BREAKOUT on chart of Power Finance Corporation!!!!15 YEAR long consolidation, a perfect triangle pattern on the monthly chart, with beautiful support and resistance and most important- large volumes. Though it gave BREAKOUT last month, it was facing some selling pressures. This month we got the confirmation of a long upcoming positive trend. After seeing the chart pattern the targets seem to be so aggressive (260, 110 points, 73.77%). We can plan to enter when it crosses this month's high (170.10), as it may again face selling pressure.
