SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade For 5-20 : Harami-InsideToday's pattern suggests the SPY/QQQ will stay somewhat FLAT in trading. In this video, I go over the SPY/QQQ, Gold/Silver, and BTCUSD. What I find interesting in today's video is the setup in BTCUSD - being very similar to the peak in late 2021 before the double-top in Bitcoin. If my analysis is correct, we are moving into a type of final speculative phase (bullish) that will quickly transition into a type of breakdown move in the US/Global markets. Gold should do very well once this move sets up and begins to drive the Risk/Hedge trade. In the meantime, sit back and wait for this speculative move to phase out (top).

USDJPYUSD/JPY Interest Rate Differential and Bond Yield Overview (May 2025) Interest Rate Differential Federal Reserve (Fed): Policy rate steady at 4.25%–4.50% as of May 2025, with expectations of holding rates steady for the near term. Fed’s cautious stance supports a relatively high yield environment in the U.S. Bank of Japan (BoJ): Policy rate raised to 0.50% in January 2025, the highest level in 17 years, marking a departure from ultra-loose monetary policy. Further rate hikes are anticipated every six months, possibly reaching closer to a neutral rate (~2%) by 2027, but BoJ remains dovish compared to the Fed. Differential: The interest rate gap between the U.S. and Japan has narrowed significantly in 2025 due to BoJ hikes and Fed rate hold. Current differential is roughly 3.75–4.00% in favor of the U.S., down from wider gaps in previous years. Bond Yield Dynamics U.S. Treasury Yields: 10-year Treasury yields hover around 4.3%–4.5%, reflecting inflation concerns and fiscal risks. Yields have been volatile but remain elevated, supporting the dollar’s yield advantage. Japanese Government Bonds (JGBs): 10-year JGB yields increased to about 0.5%, reflecting BoJ’s policy shift but still extremely low compared to U.S. yields. BoJ’s gradual reduction in bond purchases and policy normalization supports a stronger yen over time. Impact on USD/JPY Exchange Rate The narrowing interest rate differential reduces the carry trade advantage for USD/JPY, contributing to recent yen strength and USD/JPY declines from 2024 highs near ¥157 to around ¥145–146 in May 2025. Market forecasts vary: some expect USD/JPY to appreciate modestly toward ¥150+ in mid-2025 due to Fed steadiness and geopolitical risk, while others predict further yen gains as BoJ continues tightening and the Fed eventually cuts rates. Safe-haven flows and geopolitical tensions also influence USD/JPY, with the yen sometimes strengthening despite lower yield differentials. Summary Table Factor Impact on USD/JPY Fed policy steady (4.25–4.50%) Supports USD, upward pressure BoJ rate hikes (to 0.5% and rising) Strengthens JPY, downward pressure Narrowing interest rate differential Reduces USD carry trade advantage, yen support U.S. 10-year yields (~4.3–4.5%) Supports USD JGB yields (~0.5%) Supports JPY Geopolitical risk Safe-haven flows can strengthen JPY Conclusion The USD/JPY pair in May 2025 is shaped by a narrowing but still significant interest rate differential, with the Fed maintaining higher rates and the BoJ gradually tightening from ultra-loose policy. This narrowing gap has supported recent yen strength and USD/JPY declines from 2024 highs. However, elevated U.S. Treasury yields and geopolitical risks provide intermittent support to the dollar. The pair is likely to remain volatile, with direction hinging on future Fed-BoJ policy moves and global risk sentiment.

DOLLARThe relationship between the U.S. dollar and U.S. Treasury bond yields in May 2025 reflects a complex and evolving dynamic influenced by fiscal concerns, trade policies, and investor sentiment: Recent Trends: U.S. Treasury yields have risen, with the 30-year yield briefly touching 5%, and the 10-year yield climbing above 4.5%, driven by concerns over rising U.S. debt and fiscal deficits following Moody’s downgrade of the U.S. sovereign credit rating. Despite this rise in yields, the U.S. Dollar Index has weakened, dropping about 4% year-over-year, reflecting reduced confidence in the dollar as the world’s reserve currency. Typical Relationship: Normally, higher Treasury yields attract foreign capital seeking better returns, which supports a stronger dollar. The dollar and bond yields often move in tandem, showing a positive correlation (around 0.5 over recent months). This was evident recently as the dollar strengthened alongside rising yields following a preliminary U.S.-China trade truce. Current Anomalies: However, in early 2025, this relationship weakened significantly. The dollar declined even as Treasury yields rose, signaling a loss of confidence in U.S. assets amid escalating trade tensions and concerns about the sustainability of U.S. fiscal policy. This decoupling suggests investors are reconsidering the dollar’s role and are diversifying away from U.S. assets. Market Sentiment and Risks: The downgrade and rising deficits have increased fears about U.S. fiscal health, prompting some investors to sell U.S. assets, which pressures the dollar despite higher yields. Meanwhile, tariff policies and geopolitical risks contribute to volatility in both yields and the dollar. Outlook: The dollar and Treasury yields have recently realigned, moving more in sync again as trade optimism returned and the Fed maintained a steady policy stance. However, ongoing fiscal challenges and geopolitical uncertainties mean this relationship remains fragile. Summary Aspect Current Observation (May 2025) Treasury Yields Rising (10-year ~4.5%, 30-year ~5%) U.S. Dollar Index Weakened (~4% decline YTD) Typical Correlation Positive (~0.5 correlation between dollar and yields) Recent Anomaly Dollar fell while yields rose (early 2025) Drivers of Anomaly Fiscal concerns, Moody’s downgrade, trade tensions Market Sentiment Reduced confidence in U.S. assets and dollar Outlook Re-alignment underway but fragile due to fiscal risks In essence: While U.S. Treasury yields and the dollar usually move together—higher yields supporting a stronger dollar—recent fiscal concerns and geopolitical tensions have caused periods of divergence. Rising yields amid a weakening dollar reflect investor worries about U.S. debt sustainability and a potential shift away from the dollar’s reserve currency status. However, improving trade relations and Fed communication have recently brought the two back into closer alignment, though the relationship remains sensitive to evolving economic and political development Disclaimer The information and publications are not meant to be, and do not constitute, financial, investment, trading, or other types of advice or recommendations supplied or endorsed by TradingView. #dollar #dxy #gold
