USDJPY
Japanese yen soars as Tokyo Core CPI falls to 2%The Japanese yen is sharply higher on Friday. USD/JPY is trading at 143.49 in the European session, down a massive 1.1%.
Tokyo Core CPI, which excludes fresh food, slowed to 2% in September, down from 2's.4% in August and matching the market estimate. The drop was largely driven by the resumption of government subsidies for utility bills.
The inflation reading indicates that Japan is on track to hit the Bank of Japan’s target of sustainable 2% inflation and the yen has responded with sharp gains today. This reading will support the case for further rate hikes, although that’s unlikely until December or early next year.
Governor Ueda said this week that the BoJ is not in any rush to hike rates and that the focus will be on services prices data for October, which won’t be released until November, too late for the October 31 meeting. Wages have been rising but it remains to be seen if this will translate into higher services inflation. If it does, there will be pressure on the BoJ to raise rates at the December meeting.
The week wraps up with US Core PCE Price Index, which is considered the Fed’s preferred inflation indicator. The index has hovered at 2.6% for the past three months and is expected to tick up to 2.7% for August. Monthly, the Core PCE is expected to remain at 0.2%. An unexpected reading could shake up the US dollar and the rate-cut odds for the Fed’s November meeting. The odds of a 50-basis point cut have slipped to 47%, down from 54% a day earlier, according to the CME’s FedWatch tool.
USD/JPY faces weekly resistance lines at 147.58 and 150.66
There is support at 142.67 and 140.84

The USDJPY correction is coming to an end H4 26.09.2024The USDJPY correction is coming to an end
The yen is now forming a correction and the price has hit the marginal resistance zone around 145. From it I expect a bounce down to test the lower boundaries. Also, there was a rotation in the area of the zone in the past and periodically rebounds were made. Therefore, there is a probability that this time they will be able to bounce down at least locally. I don't see the options falling further than 139, but I aim for 140 approximately.

USD/JPY Under Pressure: Weak Yen and Anticipation of US GDP!USD/JPY is receiving particular attention due to the weakness of the Japanese Yen (JPY), influenced by expectations that the Bank of Japan (BoJ) will delay further rate hikes. The minutes of the BoJ’s July monetary policy meeting revealed a consensus among members on the need to remain vigilant regarding inflation risks. While some members indicated that a rate hike to 0.25% might be appropriate, others suggested a moderate adjustment to monetary support.
From a macroeconomic perspective, traders are focused on the release of the annualized US GDP for the second quarter, scheduled for Thursday. The dollar's performance is being hindered by the increasing likelihood of rate cuts by the Federal Reserve by the end of the year. According to the CME FedWatch Tool, there is about a 50% chance that the Fed will reduce rates by 75 basis points, bringing them to the 4.0-4.25% range.
In terms of resistance, the level of 149.40, the highest in the past six weeks, represents a potential target for the USD/JPY rally. On the support side, the first significant level is around 144.00, which coincides with the upper boundary of the previous descending channel. A break below this level could restore the bearish bias, with the next target around 139.58, the lowest point since June 2023.
USDJPY: Going for the 1D MA200. Bottom priced in.USDJPY is neutral on its 1D technical outlook (RSI = 52.086, MACD = -0.760, ADX = 27.579) as it is recovering from the previous oversold state and is already approaching the 1D MA50. September 16th was technically the new HL on the one year Channel Up bottom, with the 1D RSI already on a bullish divergence. These are all formation we saw on its previous bottom on January 16th 2023, whose rebound that followed initially hit the 1D MA200 before going for a full yearly extension. That's our medium term target again (TP = 150.500).

#USDJPY 1HUSDJPY (US Dollar / Japanese Yen)
Timeframe: 1-Hour (1H)
Pattern: Rising Wedge
A rising wedge pattern has developed on the 1-hour chart of USDJPY. This pattern is formed by two upward-sloping trendlines that converge as the price continues to make higher highs and higher lows. While the price is trending upward, the narrowing wedge suggests that bullish momentum is weakening, typically signaling a potential reversal.
The rising wedge is considered a bearish pattern, as it often leads to a downside breakout once the price breaks below the lower trendline.
Forecast: Sell
Given the current formation, the forecast recommends a selling opportunity. The price is likely to break down from the rising wedge, leading to a potential reversal and a decline in the pair's value. A confirmed breakdown below the lower boundary of the wedge would signal further bearish momentum.
Technical Outlook:
Resistance Level: The upper boundary of the wedge, where buying pressure could weaken.
Support Level: The lower boundary, where a breakout would trigger a selling opportunity.
Key Levels to Watch: A break below the wedge’s support line would reinforce the bearish forecast, signaling a potential downward move.
Traders should look for confirmation through bearish candlestick patterns or increased selling volume to validate their short positions.
Monitor for key economic indicators, particularly US dollar movements influenced by Federal Reserve policies or safe-haven demand for the Japanese yen, which could impact this pair’s direction.
USDJPY recovers, although USD loses support from interest ratesAccording to CME Group's FedWatch Tool, traders now see a 62.2% chance of the Fed cutting interest rates by 50 basis points at its November 7 meeting, up from 37% a week ago, and a 37.8% chance of a cut. reduce interest rates by 25 basis points. In the future, if the market continues to maintain high probability expectations about the level of interest rate cuts of the US Dollar, the US Dollar will still be under pressure.
This trading day is an important trading day when many key Fed officials speak with US Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell. The content of these statements will affect the Dollar and the exchange rate. The probability of a Fed interest rate cut will then fundamentally affect USD/JPY.
Looking at the daily chart, USDJPY is still on the recovery path and is achieving certain bullish conditions by breaking above the trend price channel and breaking above the 21-day moving average (EMA21).
On the other hand, if USD/JPY continues to maintain price activity above the 0.236% Fibonacci retracement level it will tend to continue to increase further towards the next Fibonacci level at 0.382% price point of 148.113.
In addition, the Relative Strength Index rising above the 50 level also shows that there is still quite wide room for price increases ahead towards the 80 level.
OANDA:USDJPY also forms a short-term trend price channel that is noticed by the price channel, and the short-term trend is leaning towards the bullish trend, and notable technical levels will be listed below.
Support: 142,941 – 141,531
Resistance: 148.113
USD/JPY Breaks ResistanceToday, USD/JPY is holding steady around 145.00, and when I look at the daily chart, I see that the pair has broken the neckline at 144.50, which is a clear sign that the uptrend is gradually returning. This opens up the prospect of stronger growth in the near future.
According to my analysis, as long as USD/JPY holds above 144.70 (with important support at 144.50), we can expect the bullish momentum to continue. My immediate profit target is 147.00, and given the current situation, the possibility of reaching this level in the short term is very positive.
Fundamental Market Analysis for September 26, 2024 USDJPYThe Japanese Yen (JPY) remains depreciated against the US Dollar (USD) following the release of the minutes from the Bank of Japan's (BoJ) July policy meeting on Thursday. The yen faces challenges as traders expect the BoJ to ponder before further rate hikes.
The minutes of the BoJ's monetary policy meeting expressed a general view among members on the importance of remaining vigilant on the risks of inflation exceeding targets. Several members indicated that raising rates to 0.25 percent would be an appropriate way to adjust the level of monetary support. Some others suggested that a moderate adjustment in monetary support would also be appropriate.
Pressure on the U.S. dollar is being exerted by the increased likelihood of further interest rate cuts by the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) at upcoming meetings. According to CME FedWatch Tool, markets estimate the probability that the Fed will cut rates by 75 basis points to a range of 4.0-4.25% by the end of this year at around 50%.
Traders' attention is now focused on the release of final annualized U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) data for the second quarter (Q2), due later in the day. On Friday, inflation data will be released in Tokyo, which could provide further insight into the economic outlook and possible monetary policy moves by the Bank of Japan.
Trading recommendation: Trade predominantly with Sell orders from the current price level.
UsdJpy could return to 150In mid-September, USD/JPY dropped below the 141.80 technical support level and even briefly fell under 140.
However, this bearish move was short-lived and ultimately proved to be a false breakout. The pair quickly recovered, and despite some signs of a potential continuation of the downtrend from the trend line on Monday and Tuesday, yesterday's session was marked by a strong bullish engulfing candle that broke above the falling trend line.
At this point, the path for further gains seems clear, with 147 and possibly 150 as upside targets for the bulls.
In conclusion, as long as technical support holds, I am looking to buy on dips.
USDJPY H4 | Bearish Reversal Based on the H4 chart analysis, we can see that the price is rising toward our sell entry at 145.99, which is a pullback resistance and a 61.8% Fibonacci retracement and 161.8% Fibonacci Extension
Our take profit will be at 143.45, an overlap support level.
The stop loss will be at 148.22, an overlap resistance level.

USD/JPY jumps as BoJ Core CPI stallsThe Japanese yen is sharply lower on Wednesday. In the North American session, USD/JPY is trading at 144.49, up 0.89% at the time of writing.
The Bank of Japan is expected to raise interest rates and continue on the path to normalization. The BoJ lifted rates out of negative territory in March but rates are barely above zero and the markets are expecting further hikes, although the timing remains unclear. This has made the BoJ an outlier among the major central banks, which have lowered rates in response to falling inflation.
In Japan, inflation has been on the rise and hit 3.0% in August after running at 2.8% in the prior three months. The BoJ has signaled that it will raise rates but has been cautious, and Governor Ueda said on Tuesday that the central bank can afford to wait and is not in any rush to hike rates.
The US Conference Board consumer confidence index is usually not a market-mover but a very soft reading on Tuesday sent the US dollar lower against most of the major currencies. The index slipped to 98.7 in September, down sharply from a revised 105.6 in August and below the market estimate of 103.8. The US labor market has deteriorated and consumers are worried about job security.
The US releases GDP (third estimate) for the second quarter with a forecast of 3.0%. This would confirm the second estimate and point to stronger economic growth after a 1.4% gain in the first quarter. Still, the Fed may be planning another jumbo rate cut – the markets have priced in a 50-basis point cut at the next meeting in November, according to CME’s FedWatch.
USD/JPY has pushed above resistance at 143.67 and 144.23. Above, there is resistance at 145.23
There is support at 142.67 and 142.11
