USDJPY

Japan's GDP revised downwards, yen swingsThe Japanese yen is showing movement in both directions today.  In the North American session, USD/JPY is trading at 147.37, down 0.03% on the day. Japan's GDP expanded 2.2% y/y in the fourth quarter of 2024, lower than the initial estimate of 2.8%. The revision was expected to stay largely unchanged but was pushed lower due to a decrease in inventories and consumption. The GDP downward revision follows other soft data which points to weakness in Japan's economy.  Household spending slumped 4.5% m/m in January.  This was a sharp reversal from the 2.3% gain in December and missed the  estimate of -1.9%.  Annualized, household spending rose 0.8%, below the 2.7% in December and the market estimate of 3.6%.  On Monday, the wage growth report indicated that real wages declined by 1.8% in January, after two months of growth. How will the Bank of Japan react to the string of weak data? The annual wage negotiations are close to the end and the BoJ has urged companies and workers to reach a deal that significantly raises wages.  This would boost growth and consumption and help keep inflation sustainable at the BoJ's 2% target. The unions are asking for an average wage hike of 6%, up from 5.85% last year and the highest in more than 20 years.  Last year's wage agreement led to the BoJ raising rates for the first time since 2007 and this year's wage deal could pave the way for another rate hike.  The BoJ holds its next meeting on Mar. 19, five days after the wage settlement will be announced.  The BoJ isn't expected to make a move next week but investors are circling April or May as potential rate-hike meetings. There is resistance at 147.30 and 147.97 146.59 and 145.92 are the next support levels

USDJPY Falling Wedge Breakout: 300 Pips Bullish Move AheadUSDJPY is currently trading at 147.50, having recently broken out of a falling wedge pattern, a strong bullish reversal signal. After the breakout, the pair has completed its retesting phase, confirming support at lower levels. With bullish momentum building, we now expect an upward move toward the 152.50 target, implying a 300 pips gain from current levels. From a technical analysis perspective, the falling wedge is a well-known bullish continuation pattern, indicating that sellers have weakened and buyers are stepping in. Now that the retest is complete, the next key resistance levels to watch are 149.50 and 151.00, with 152.50 being the final target. Support levels are now formed at 146.50 and 145.80, where buyers could step in if any short-term pullback occurs. On the fundamental side, USDJPY is influenced by Federal Reserve and Bank of Japan monetary policy differences. The Fed's hawkish stance and rising U.S. Treasury yields continue to support USD strength. Meanwhile, the Bank of Japan's ultra-loose policy keeps the yen weaker, allowing the bullish USDJPY momentum to continue. Additionally, risk sentiment and global economic trends favor the dollar as a safe-haven asset. With the falling wedge breakout confirmed and fundamentals supporting further gains, USDJPY looks poised for a strong bullish rally. Traders should monitor volume and price action for confirmation, as a push above 149.50 could accelerate the move toward 152.50. This setup presents a great opportunity to capture a high-probability trade in the coming sessions.

Sell entry is at 148.20 which is an overlap resistance that aligns with a confluence of Fibonacci levels i.e. the 23.6% and 38.2% retracements. Stop loss is at 149.45 which is a level that sits above the 50.0% Fibonacci retracement and a swing-high resistance. Take profit is at 146.53 which is a swing-low support.

Trump acknowledged economic risks, while Japan’s GDP growth was revised down to 2.2% from 2.8% due to weak consumption. The BOJ is expected to hold rates in March but may hike later this year. Finance Minister Kato warned of the real-world impact of FX volatility. Key resistance is at 149.20, with further levels at 152.00 and 154.90. Support stands at 147.00, followed by 145.80 and 143.00.

USD/JPY Struggles as Key Fibonacci Support Comes into FocusUSD/JPY has extended its decline, now testing the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level near 146.95, a key support zone. The pair remains under pressure after failing to reclaim 151.50, where the 38.2% retracement and the 200-day EMA converge. Key Technical Observations: Fibonacci Support Test: The 61.8% retracement level is being challenged, making this a critical decision point. A confirmed breakdown below 146.95 could open the door toward 143.70 (78.6% retracement). Bearish EMAs: The 50-day EMA and 200-day EMA are sloping downward, reinforcing the bearish momentum. Momentum Indicators: RSI is approaching oversold levels, suggesting a short-term bounce could emerge. However, the broader trend remains weak. MACD remains in negative territory, signaling continued downside pressure. Key Levels to Watch: Support: 146.95 (61.8% retracement), 143.70 (78.6% retracement). Resistance: 149.20 (50% retracement) and 151.50 (200-day EMA & 38.2% retracement). USD/JPY is at a critical juncture. Holding 146.95 could trigger a short-term rebound, but failure to do so would reinforce the bearish case, targeting the mid-143s. Bulls need to reclaim at least 149.20 to shift the structure back toward neutral. -MW

Surging yen hits 5-month high, wage data mixedThe Japanese yen has started the week with strong gains.  In the European session, USD/JPY is trading at 147.07, down 0.766 on the day. Earlier, the yen strengthened to 146.72, its best level since Oct. 4, 2024. Japan's wage data for January was mixed. Base pay for Japanese workers jumped by 3.1% y/y but more importantly, inflation-adjusted real wages declined by 1.8%. This follows two consecutive months of gains and signals that inflation has outpaced growth. The wage report was released just days before the end of annual wage negotiations at Japan's largest companies. The largest labor union in Japan is demanding large wage hike of 6% and the Bank of Japan wants to see a strong rise in wages in order to keep inflation sustainable at the 2% level. The BoJ has urged companies and workers to reach a deal that significantly raises wages. The central back meets next week and is widely expected to keep interest rates unchanged. Still, the Bank has signaled it plans to continue raising rates during the year. In the US, nonfarm payrolls rose to 151 thousand in February, up from a downwardly revised 125 thousand in January but shy of the market estimate of 160 thousand.  The unemployment rate rose to 4.1% from 4%.  Wage growth eased to 0.3% m/m from a revised 0.4% in January, in line with expectations. Annualized, wages ticked higher to 4%, up from a revised 3.9% in January but below the market estimate of 4.1%. The employment report was decent but the threat of US tariffs continues to cloud the economic outlook. If trade tensions escalate, the Federal Reserve may have to adjust its rate path, depending on how tariffs affect inflation and growth. USD/JPY has pushed below support at 147.26 and is testing support t 147.26. Next is support at 1.46.48 148.51 and 148.98 are the next resistance lines

CADJPY - Take Advantage of This Clean Correction!CADJPY Daily Timeframe CADJPY has shown a clear impulse in July 2024. We are now in a massive correction, consisting of 3 major waves, ABC. It appears we have almost completed Wave B and now we are anticipating wave C. We expect wave C to push up to the corrective highs where we have the 61.8 fib. Here are some key things to watch: - Wave Structure: Ensure that Wave B has completed its corrective pattern - Wave C Confirmation: Look for a strong bullish impulse off the lows of Wave B. - Volume & Momentum: A rise in volume and bullish divergence in RSI/MACD could confirm Wave C is underway. Confirmation for Wave C: Break of Structure (BOS) / Trendline Break When identifying confirmation for Wave C, a Break of Structure (BOS) or a Trendline Break is one of the strongest signals that the corrective phase is ending. Break of Structure (BOS) – Key Levels to Watch Wave B typically forms lower highs and lower lows. A break above the last lower high signals a bullish shift. Look for a decisive close above the previous swing high on the 4H or daily timeframe. A weak break (with wicks) may indicate hesitation. A higher low after the break adds extra confirmation. Trendline Break – Reversal Signal If Wave B formed a descending trendline, watch for a clean breakout with strong bullish candles (not just wicks). Retest of the trendline as support after the breakout strengthens the case for Wave C starting. Trade Idea: - Watch for Wave C to start using the techniques listed above - Once entered, keep stops below wave B - Targets: 107 (500pips), 112 (1000pips) Goodluck and as always trade safe! See below for our previous swing setups: Swing Setup 1 Swing Setup 2 Swing Setup 3
