USD/JPY: USD Faces Correction Ahead of Key Retail Sales DataThe Japanese Yen has strengthened as the US Dollar begins to correct downward in anticipation of upcoming Retail Sales data. Japan's GDP annualized growth for the third quarter was reported at 0.9%, a notable decline from the 2.2% growth seen in the second quarter. In response to currency market volatility, Japan’s Finance Minister Kato emphasized his commitment to taking necessary measures to counter excessive fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.
From a technical analysis perspective, the current price indicates a rebound in an area where multiple supply zones converge, suggesting the potential for a pullback of the USD against the JPY. Retail traders continue to show a bullish stance towards the US Dollar, while other market participants appear uncertain or bearish in their outlook.
Given the significant rally in the USD that followed the Trump election victory, we are observing for a possible correction. As these dynamics play out, attention to price patterns and broader economic indicators will be essential for traders navigating this market environment.

USDJPY
USD/JPY Daily Chart AnalysisThe USD/JPY pair is currently moving within an upward channel, demonstrating a steady uptrend since the recent lows around 139.56. The pair has been respecting key Fibonacci retracement levels, which could act as areas of support and resistance.
Key Levels to Watch:
0.236 Fibonacci Retracement (156.67): This level has served as a resistance zone, and a breakout above could pave the way for a test of the recent highs around 157.84.
Support Zones: Immediate support is seen at the 0.382 retracement (153.40), with additional support at the 0.618 level (148.12). A break below the channel could see a retest of these supports.
Indicators & Trends:
Moving Averages: The 20-day and 50-day moving averages are acting as dynamic support levels, supporting the current bullish trend.
Volume: There was a recent increase in volume as the pair rallied, suggesting strong buying interest. However, watch for any drop in volume, as it could signal weakening momentum.
RSI (Relative Strength Index): The RSI is approaching overbought territory, so caution is advised as the pair nears resistance zones.
Outlook:
The pair may experience consolidation between the 153.40 support and 156.67 resistance levels in the short term. A breakout above 156.67 could lead to a potential test of 157.84 and beyond. Conversely, a breakdown below the support trendline may shift momentum towards the downside, targeting lower Fibonacci levels and potentially the key support near 143.88.
Trading Plan:
Bullish Bias: Wait for a confirmed breakout above 156.67, aiming for the 157.84 level.
Bearish Bias : A confirmed break below the channel could signal a trend reversal, with initial targets near 150.75 and 148.12.
Always consider using appropriate risk management.
GBPCAD RE TESTINGThe potential downtrend in the GBP/CAD currency pair may be influenced by several critical factors. The Bank of Canada's relatively hawkish monetary stance, supported by strong economic data, contrasts with the Bank of England's cautious approach due to slowing UK economic growth. Declining global oil prices could limit the downside for the Canadian dollar, as Canada is a major oil exporter. On the technical side, GBP/CAD has recently tested key support levels, and failure to hold these levels may signal further bearish momentum.
EURCAD GONE !The EUR/CAD currency pair has recently shown an upward trend driven by divergent monetary policies, with the European Central Bank maintaining a hawkish stance while the Bank of Canada adopts a more cautious approach, increasing euro demand. Declines in oil prices have weakened the Canadian dollar, given Canada's reliance on oil exports. Technical indicators reveal breaches of key resistance levels, signaling sustained bullish momentum. Traders should monitor economic data, oil price trends, and central bank communications closely to adjust their strategies accordingly.
USDCHF HEAD AND SHOULDERSThe USD/CHF currency pair has recently exhibited a downward trend, driven by several key factors. Macroeconomic uncertainties, including global economic slowdown and geopolitical tensions, have increased demand for safe-haven assets like the Swiss franc, putting downward pressure on the pair. Divergent monetary policies, with the Federal Reserve maintaining a hawkish stance while the Swiss National Bank adopts a more neutral approach, further contribute to the pair's decline. Technical indicators also suggest bearish momentum, with breaches of significant support levels and potential moves below key moving averages. Traders should closely monitor economic data and central bank communications to inform their strategies.
+ head and shoulders = going down
GBPUSD FREE FALLThe GBP/USD currency pair has recently exhibited a downward trend, driven by macroeconomic uncertainties such as geopolitical tensions and global growth concerns, leading investors to favor the U.S. dollar as a safe haven. Divergent monetary policies, with the Federal Reserve maintaining a hawkish stance and the Bank of England adopting a more cautious approach, have further pressured the pair. Technical indicators show breaches of key support levels like 1.2842, signaling a continuation of the bearish trend. Traders should closely monitor economic data and central bank communications to adapt their strategies.
NEW NASDAQ ROUTEThe potential drop in the NASDAQ in the coming days could be driven by several key factors. First, macroeconomic uncertainties, including geopolitical tensions or the persistence of high interest rates, could increase market volatility. Additionally, recent disappointing quarterly earnings from major tech companies, which are often heavily weighted in the index, add downward pressure. Lastly, technical signals such as the breach of critical support levels or a decline below the 50-day moving average could trigger accelerated sell-offs. Investors should closely monitor these indicators to assess risks and adjust their portfolios accordingly.
USDJPY: Buy opportunity inside the 1H MA200 and 4H MA100.USDJPY is bullish on its 1D technical outlook (RSI = 58.138, MACD = 1.880, ADX = 50.518) which perfectly explains the Channel Up it's been trading in since October 8th. At the moment the price is on an aggressive bearish wave, which got accelerated today as it was rejected on the 1H MA50. The result is so far a direct hit on the 1H MA200 for the first time since Nov 10th. The last two HL were on the 4H MA100 however, so there is still some more room to fall but even on the current level the reward largely outweighs the risk. We are just over the 0.5 Fibonacci level afterall, which is where the November 5th low was formed. We're long, aiming for a +3.20% rise (TP = 158.500).

EURUSD NEXT MOVEAfter a downtrend, the fundamental lines of this asset tend to show, as BTC, a new bearish position ready to launch ;
however the downtrend might still attract the price down, causing more of a zigzag kinda pattern, only time will tell ;
these arrows show the change of direction the price is taking about now.
NZDJPY RIGHT NOW !!!NZDJPY reached the point of decision ;
according to previous data, it should reverse right now in a huge V pattern, and then correct to return back up then ;
however stay advised, nothing is never sure, but this seems like a great trade to get into right now ;
the SL would be placed just under the yellow trend line, around 90.600.
Japan GDP beats forecast, yen ends skidThe Japanese yen is in positive territory today, putting the brakes on a four-day skid. In the European session, USD/JPY is trading at 155.54 down 0.45% on the day.
Japan’s economy expanded by 0.9% in the third quarter, below the revised 2.2% gain in Q2 but above the market estimate of 0.7%. Quarterly, GDP rose 0.2%, lower than the 0.5% gain in Q2 and matching expectations.
The GDP numbers were not sparkling but point to a second straight quarter of growth. August economic activity was dampened due to a “megaquake” alert and a fierce typhoon which caused widespread destruction and disruption.
Private consumption, which comprises more than half of the country’s GDP showed strong growth of 3.6% y/y, despite the weather issues. This is an encouraging sign for the Bank of Japan, which wants to see inflation rise to demand and consumption. The BoJ has been vague about the timing of a rate hike but the markets are looking at December or January as likely dates. The yen has been wobbly and is down 2.3% in November. If the yen’s downswing continues, the BoJ could decide to hike rates at the Dec. 19 meeting. There is also the possibility of the Ministry of Finance intervening in the currency markets if the yen declines sharply.
The US wraps up the week with retail sales for October, with a market estimate of 1.9%. Retails sales eased to 1.7% y/y in September, which was an 8-month low. Monthly, retail sales are expected to inch up to 0.4% from 0.3%. Consumer spending has been generally strong and consumer confidence should improve now that the uncertainty over the US election is over.
USD/JPY has pushed below support at 1.5601 and is testing 1.5560. The next support line is 1.5493
1.5668 and 1.5709 are the next resistance lines
USDJPY at key level for next rally!Hey guys,
Based on my analysis, USDJPY reached a key level that might to have a good point for next rally.
As it is visible on the chart there is a conjunction of two important trend line that they cross each other on a support area.
So however it can be a little bit risky because currently there no clue for reversal to uptrend in 15min chart, but the good risk reward leads me to open a position at this key level.
Good luck!

USD/JPY Analysis on the 1-Hour ChartIn this analysis of USD/JPY, we are currently observing an uptrend, with buyers maintaining control of the market. A key support zone, marked in green, has been identified as an area where buyers have previously stepped in to push the price higher.
While the price is not currently in this zone, our strategy anticipates a potential pullback to this support level. If the price returns to this green zone, it could attract buyers again, leading to a potential upward movement in line with the prevailing trend.
Trading Plan:
Long Positions: If the price retraces to the green support zone, look for confirmation of buyer interest, such as bullish candlestick patterns, an increase in buying momentum, or positive divergence. These signals could provide an opportunity to enter long positions.
Stop Loss: Place a stop loss slightly below the green support zone to manage risk in case the support fails to hold.
Profit Target: The first target would be the previous resistance level or the next significant resistance zone, where sellers may return.
This approach allows us to trade with the trend while maintaining a disciplined risk management strategy. Monitoring the price action closely around the green support zone is crucial for executing this idea effectively.

MORE ACCURATE ROUTE FOR GOLDour idea is still valid but needs a little bit of clarification : we thought gold would follow some kind of round top pattern ;
now it seems like a 3/4 tops and a HH, then a drawdown to 2500s by next week.
However it will come back up at some point soon, around the beginning of 2025, so stay advised and don't try to sell it under 2500.
USDJPY UPMaybe a little too optimistic on the detail precision, but this should turn out like that at some point tonight and tommorrow ;
USD has been on a big rally lately thanks to Trump and is not done yet, now is still the time for USD products to go high ;
however there could be a massive correction soon with VIX and GOLD going back up, but not for another week or more.

USDJPY - 3 Massive Swings Completed. 4th Swing Ready...USDJPY has been providing us with big swing opportunities. Our last public post resulted in a 1200pip take profit!
We are now on the verge of getting our 4th big swing setup.
We are in a 5 wave impulse at the moment, indicating that we are in a Wave A (of wave 2) as opposed to a wave 2. This is why we are anticipating price to create an abc correction for wave 2 in the form of 535 zigzag.
Trade Setup:
- Watch for rejection of the fib level
- Confirmation can be the break of the red trendline or any other reversal signs such as BOS
- Targets: 148 (950pips), Hold position and taper as we move lower
We'll update this setup if we get enough engagement.
Goodluck and as always, trade safe!
