XAU/USD : NFP's effect on the market! (READ THE CAPTION)In the latest analysis of the gold chart on the 30-minute timeframe, we can see that, as expected, yesterday the price rose to $2654, and exactly after reaching this key level, it faced heavy selling pressure and corrected by 175 pips down to $2637. After hitting the target of $2638 and gathering the liquidity below this level, buying pressure emerged, and today it managed to rise to $2667. Currently, gold is trading around $2656, and in less than 30 minutes, the NFP data will be released. If the figures come in higher than the forecast, it could lead to a decline in gold prices to lower levels, and conversely, if the figures are below the forecast, it could lead to an increase in gold prices. Please note that the risk of an Israel-Iran war still hangs over this market, so we should be cautious with our personal trades. Personally, I believe that today the NFP figures will be higher than expected, which may lead to a decline in gold prices. The potential targets are $2654.5, $2649, $2642.5, and $2638, respectively.

COT Analysis - Currency SectorA few weeks ago I was calling for shorts on 6J, longs on DX, and shorts on ZB. Those trades are well underway, with partials already taken.
This week, COT strategy is supportive of longs for DX. Of particular interest is 6A (AUD). The commercials are more short this market than they have been in over 3 years. This is a very bearish signal. I will be focusing on shorting AUD this week, as in my opinion, it has the greatest potential for a significant down move.
Have a great weekend.
CHFJPY - Easy 1000pip Trade.. Atleast!Our last CHFJPY over extended a little but it was still valid. Price dropped 1300pips from the break of our entry trendline!
We have now created a correction and looking for another 1000pip drop. There's a chance we may make a complex correction, as indicated on the chart. There is still a 1000pip drop to our first target so this one is definitely one to watch!
Trade Idea:
- Watch for reversal within the fibs
- Entry on break of trendline or you can use lower timeframe BOS or other methods
- once entered, put stops above price
- Target the recent lows as first target (165.5 (1000pips)
- Make sure to taper some positions there and watch to see if we get the complex correction or if we continue dropping.
What do you guys think?
Goodluck and as always, trade safe!
Fundamentals Favoring a Bullish USDJPY:What Traders Need to KnowIn today's trading environment, the USD/JPY currency pair presents a bullish opportunity. Here are some key fundamentals that support this bias, along with an explanation of utilizing probabilities for positioning long trades.
Key Fundamentals Supporting a Bullish Bias on USD/JPY
1. Bank of Japan's (BoJ) Monetary Policy: The BoJ has maintained its accommodative monetary policy, refraining from committing to predefined rate hikes for the remainder of the year. This stance is likely to weaken the Japanese Yen against the U.S. Dollar as traders anticipate continued divergence in monetary policy between the Fed and the BoJ.
2. U.S. Economic Growth: Recent data indicates a pickup in U.S. economic growth without significant inflationary pressures. This environment supports a stronger U.S. Dollar as it suggests that the Federal Reserve may not need to cut rates aggressively, contrary to some market expectations.
3. Market Sentiment: The overall sentiment in the forex market is leaning towards a bullish outlook for the U.S. Dollar, particularly against currencies like the Yen, which is under pressure due to Japan's economic conditions and the BoJ's policies.
Utilizing Probabilities for Long Positions in USD/JPY
When trading, I prioritize using probabilities to enhance my decision-making process.
In conclusion, by focusing on probabilities and key fundamental indicators, I am strategically positioning myself for potential long trades in USD/JPY.
This method not only enhances my trading confidence but also provides a structured approach to navigating market volatility effectively.

USD/JPY Poised for Gains as DXY StrengthensThe US Dollar Index (DXY) continues its upward momentum as Treasury yields recover from recent losses, bolstering the Greenback’s strength. However, this rally may soon face headwinds, with growing market expectations of additional rate cuts by the US Federal Reserve (Fed) in 2024.
Traders are now focusing on the upcoming US Flash Manufacturing PMI, which is due for release within the hour. The PMI data will offer a fresh perspective on the health of the US manufacturing sector, and any surprise in the numbers could influence the Greenback’s near-term trajectory. The Manufacturing PMI is expected to show a slight improvement, reflecting stabilizing economic conditions, but traders remain alert for any deviations from the forecast.
According to the CME FedWatch Tool, there is a 50% probability that the Fed could reduce rates by as much as 75 basis points, bringing the federal funds rate to a range of 4.0-4.25% by the end of the year. This potential easing has kept some investors cautious, as it could curb the USD’s long-term gains.
From a technical standpoint, we are seeing a key opportunity in the USD/JPY pair, which has rebounded from a strong demand area. The latest Commitment of Traders (COT) report shows that retail traders are still heavily short on the USD/JPY, while institutional "smart money" appears to be shifting its stance, reducing its bearish exposure. This setup aligns with our previous analysis, where we highlighted the potential for a long position as the pair regains upward momentum.
As the USD/JPY continues to rebound from this demand zone, the conditions remain favorable for a long trade. The shift in sentiment among institutional traders, combined with the recovery in Treasury yields and the strength of the DXY, supports the case for further upside. However, traders should remain cautious as the Fed’s rate cut expectations may still influence broader USD sentiment in the months ahead.
For now, the focus remains on the US PMI release and its impact on both Treasury yields and the USD. Should the data come in stronger than expected, it could provide additional fuel for the DXY’s rally, further reinforcing the bullish outlook for USD/JPY. Conversely, weaker-than-expected PMI data could reignite concerns about the Fed’s dovish outlook, potentially pausing the Greenback's current rally.
We continue to monitor the situation closely, with a bullish setup in USD/JPY remaining a key focus in the near term.

USD/JPY Analysis: Price Retreats from One-Month HighUSD/JPY Analysis: Price Retreats from One-Month High
The USD/JPY chart shows that yesterday (3 October), the price slightly surpassed the 147.230 level, marking the highest point since 3 September.
This is significant as it indicates a new swing high, identified by the ZigZag indicator (in purple), which hasn’t been seen in months.
Bullish arguments for the USD/JPY chart today:
→ The price is within an ascending channel (shown in blue), illustrating an upward trajectory for the US dollar. This follows a period where the yen gained strength, pushing the exchange rate below the psychological threshold of 140 yen per dollar.
→ After the price broke above the upper boundary of the blue channel (signifying overbought conditions), a correction (such as to the channel's median) appears appropriate.
Bearish argument:
→ The brief breach above the prior swing high (indicated by an arrow) may have created a bull trap and triggered stop-losses for sellers positioned just above the 3 September high. Today’s decline supports the view that the break above 147.230 was a false breakout.
What’s next for USD/JPY?
Much will depend on the fundamentals.
On Friday, traders are closely watching US labour market data (to be released at 15:30 GMT+3), which could influence US interest rate expectations. Meanwhile, the yen's movement is affected by uncertainties surrounding Japan’s upcoming prime ministerial change. According to Reuters, recent comments from Shigeru Ishiba have fuelled expectations that Japan's rate hikes might be delayed.
Additionally, demand for safe-haven assets is impacting USD/JPY as markets assess the effects of rising tensions in the Middle East on the global economy.

JPY Faces Further Downside as DXY Surges on Powell's RemarksThe US Dollar Index (DXY) has risen sharply, nearing the 101.00 level, in response to recent comments made by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. Powell’s remarks signaled that while the Fed remains cautious about future rate cuts, any adjustments would be gradual, contributing to the strengthening of the US Dollar. This move has had ripple effects across currency pairs, most notably with the Japanese Yen (JPY), which has begun a reversal from a key supply area that was identified in our analysis last week.
The price action of the JPY has played out as anticipated, with the pair hitting our first take profit target. The reversal came as the US Dollar gained momentum, pushing the Yen lower. You can view the previous analysis that accurately predicted this movement in the following idea:
As we look ahead to the upcoming trading sessions, a potential for further bearish momentum in the JPY is on the horizon. The next significant catalysts for the market will be today’s release of the ISM Manufacturing PMI and JOLTS Job Openings data from the US. Should these reports come in stronger than expected, it could fuel another bullish impulse for the US Dollar, potentially driving the DXY higher and triggering further downside for the Yen.
The ISM Manufacturing PMI is a critical indicator of the health of the US manufacturing sector, and positive results would signal continued economic expansion, lending further strength to the Dollar. The JOLTS Job Openings data, which provides insight into labor market conditions, will also be closely watched. A strong labor market reading would add to the case for the Fed to take a measured approach to rate cuts, reinforcing the current bullish sentiment surrounding the USD.
Given these dynamics, traders should remain alert for the possibility of a fresh bearish wave in the JPY, especially if the US economic data reinforces the current narrative of USD strength. The technical setup from last week’s supply area continues to offer a solid framework for managing positions, with further take profit levels within reach should the bearish trend in the Yen persist.
In conclusion, the DXY’s rise near 101.00, supported by Powell’s comments, has already triggered a significant move in the JPY, and the upcoming ISM and JOLTS data could provide additional fuel for further bearish action. Traders should keep an eye on key levels and be prepared for another bearish impulse in the JPY if the USD continues its upward march.

JAPAN as a HERO? UP! GOKU Last Fight! JAPAN is the last one to join the party! The final fight for the #BlowoffTop.
Why is this so important? If you look at correlations with BTC, global liquidity, China, the Fed’s interest rates, and more, Japan plays a key role. After China, Japan is the next to wake up and give the final push to this Bull Market.
The last time the Nikkei dropped more than 25% was during the COVID crash. What happened next? It rallied 26% in the first 52 days and extended its Bull Market to over 88% from the bottom.
With the current Carry Trade crisis (still unresolved), the TVC:NI225 has dropped more than 25% again, and guess what? It’s up 26% in the first 52 days... History doesn’t repeat, but it often rhymes.
It’s feeling like 2017 all over again... What do you think? 🚀📈
USDJPY: Back to Uptrend?Hello everyone,
Currently, USDJPY continues its strong upward momentum, trading steadily around the high level of 146.70, up 0.19% on the day.
From a technical analysis perspective, USDJPY is forming an Elliott Wave 5 pattern, with the first three waves already completed (currently in wave 4). Ben expects the support level around 145.77, aligning with the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement of the previous upward move, to hold, with the next target being the psychological level of 149.22.
What about you? Where do you think USDJPY will gain strength next? Share your thoughts!
[USD/JPY] Decades of relationship: A historyOne of the thing that I love about trading is how we can look at the price history. Since this week the TVC:DXY seems gaining momentum (at least in short term), I just think it would be interesting to see the history of relationship between FX:USDJPY as this pair currently possibly pivoting its trend.
This is FX:USDJPY weekly chart, goes back to 2001.
Since 2001, there are 2 major eras: the era where JPY is strong & the era where USD is strong. Both eras share similar timespan, a decade (10 years or so). If the history rhyme, we might now seeing the change of an era, possibly towards the JPY era. For next 10 years ? I don't really know as today's market is much more complex than even 3 years ago.
Nevertheless, current trend is indeed changing. If we look at the current chart, we can see the MACD divergence happened just before the drop in USD value. It's interesting to see how this setup have happened many times in the past 20 years: 2 peaks, MACD divergence, then USD drop. The drop are varied off course, so interesting to see how this time it will played out.
There is a sensible explanation for this though & it's quite simple: FED is cutting rates, while BOJ ends its negative rate regime, hence narrowing yield between JPY & USD, make keeping the JPY in Japan more attractive, or at least less risky.
Cherio...
6j Yen Short SwingsI have been watching the Yen carefully since July. This upswing has provided a healthy reset but current price action represents the tide turning back to the short side which fundamentally supports Japans struggle to maintain currency value. The risk/reward makes sense to me and I'm actively watching for swing shorts with .006700 target. The daily chart is presenting a great entry point as old support now becomes resistance.
I'll post the entry if/when it's made. Timeline is before November (US Elections)
USDJPY still has more downside on daily & weekly tfStructurally I'm looking for rejection at 147-149.8 range. Look for renewed selling action below 144 to confirm. Still seeing additional unwinding of the yen carry trade as highly likely over subsequent days & weeks. Targeting 136, 131, and 126 handles on weekly structure as we approach Q1 of 2025.
Particularly as the US Federal Reserve is pressured to cut rates further with recent data.
Entering short positions gradually but the majority is already in place.
