USDJPY Daily Analysis, Market still in consolidative rangeHello everyone, as we all know the market action discounts everything :) _________________________________Make sure to Like and Follow if you like the idea_________________________________ The USDJPY pair started this session with a Bullish move driving the price back to 110.08 from 109.74, The Bulls now are eyeing every move of the market waiting for the opportunity to push the price and close above the 110.00 levels for creating a support zone at that level that would be able to help the market back to the 111.00 level. If we applied the Elliot wave theory to the market we can see that the market is having its 3rd impulse wave right now which could be the move that drives the price above the 111,00 level. Different Scenarios for the market Scenario 1 : The price has reached the resistance zone from 109.92 - 110.08, The Bulls are trying to power up in the hope for a breakout of that zone where this could indicate a start for a next Bullish move that could lead the price near the 110.625 resistance like where the Bulls will test the Bears hoping to start a big bullish move that could lead the market back up to the 111,00 level. Scenario 2 : The price has reached the resistance zone from 109.92 - 110.08, The Bears are trying to take control back from the bulls in hope of driving the price back down, the battle is still going at that resistance zone, In case the Bears got control then we will see the price go down to the first support line at 109.750 where the bulls will have to defend for any hope to end this sideways move in their favor. Technical Indicators showing : 1) The market is above the 5 10 20 100 and 200 MA and EMA (Bullish sign), but still below the 50 day MA. 2) The RSI is at 52.31 showing Neutral signs but the market does seem to be gaining more strength. 3) The ADX is at 10,16 showing that the market is not in a trending state yet, With a positive crossover between DI+ (22,14) and DI- (20,11). Support & Resistance points : support Resistance 1) 109.75 1) 109.92 2) 109.59 2) 110.08 3) 109.19 3) 110.62 Fundamental point of view : A combination of supporting factors undermined the Japanese yen and assisted the USD/JPY pair to gain some positive traction for the second successive session on Monday. A goodish rebound in the equity markets dented demand for the traditional safe-haven JPY, which was further undermined by the worsening COVID-19 situation in Japan. Apart from this, weaker PMI prints out of Japan further acted as a headwind for the JPY. Japan PMI Manufacturing eased from 53.0 to 52.4 in August and the gauge for the services sector dropped sharply from 47.4 to 43.5, marking the worst reading in 15 months. This added to worries about the economic fallout from the continuous rise in COVID-19 cases. Bullish traders further took cues from a modest uptick in the US Treasury bond yields, tough the ongoing US dollar profit-taking slide might cap gains for the USD/JPY pair. The uncertainties tied to the COVID-19 situation might have forced investors to reassess the timing of the Fed's tapering, which, in turn, prompted some USD profit-taking. According to FXSTREET This is my personal opinion done with technical analysis of the market price and research online from fundamental analysts and news for The Fundamental point of view, not financial advice.

Yen falls to 10-month lowThe Japanese yen has started the week with considerable losses. Currently, USD/JPY is trading at 108.82, up 0.51% on the day. The yen's woes continue, as the US dollar continues to beat up on the Japanese currency. USD/JPY has jumped 5.6% since January 1 and is pressing on the 109 line, which has held since June 2020. The catalyst behind the recent strength of the US dollar has been the recent rise in US Treasury yields. The 10-year bond climbed to 1.60% earlier on Monday, while 30-year bonds rose to 2.31%. The yen is particularly sensitive to rate differentials between the US and Japan, so the increases in US yields are putting strong pressure on the Japanese currency. The higher US yields were in response to the Senate passing a massive 1.9 trillion dollar stimulus package on Saturday. The bill now returns to the House for some amendments, and will likely to be signed into law by President Biden by March 14. Although the dollar's strength is largely due to the increase in US yields, fundamental releases should not be overlooked. A surprisingly strong US Nonfarm Payrolls last week has provided the US dollar with further upward momentum. The gain of 379 thousand easily beat the forecast of 197 thousand, and was the highest reading since October 2020.  Later on Monday, Japan releases a data dump. Consumer spending and wage growth are both expected to show contraction (23:30 GMT). Japan's second-estimate GDP is expected to show growth of 3.0%, confirming the initial estimate (23:50 GMT). USD/JPY broke above resistance at 108.16 on Friday. The next resistance line is at 109.64, followed by resistance at 110.07. There is support at 106.96, followed by a support line at 105.53. There may be an opportunity for buy-on dips as low as 107.50

JPYUSD Hits Critical Trendline That Signals DownturnInteresting relationship here - JPYUSD has a 6 year bottom trendline of resistance it has been following. This line has been hit a few times over the last 6 years, and literally every time it hits this line, a correction of some variety occurs. It's almost like clockwork. Not sure if there is actually any mechanistic behavior going on, but it's worth noting because we just hit it now at a time we're seeing a ton of weakness in the market leaders. Not a good sign if you're long megacap momentum & tech, or even just the S&P.
