JPY weakens on BoJ rumor and strong US jobs The Japanese yen has fallen past 132.50 per dollar (from 129.00 last Friday), reaching its lowest point in four weeks following reports that the government is considering Bank of Japan Deputy Governor Masayoshi Amamiya as the next central bank leader. Amamiya is seen as the most dovish of the potential candidates, putting an end to hopes of the BoJ normalizing its monetary policy after years of ultra-easy measures. However, the Japanese government has since denied the rumors that they had approached Amamiya and maintains that the new BoJ Governor will be announced sometime in February. Recently, the Japanese central bank maintained its ultra-low interest rates and yield control policy, despite speculation of a policy change. Current BoJ Governor Haruhiko Kuroda stressed the need for a sustainable 2% inflation target, accompanied by rising wages. The yen was also affected by a strong dollar due to positive US jobs data, indicating that the Federal Reserve has room to raise interest rates. In January 2023, the US economy created a surprising 517K jobs, the largest increase since July and well above the 2022 monthly average of 401K, easily surpassing the market prediction of 185K. The job growth was broad-based, with the biggest increases in leisure and hospitality (128K), professional and business services (82K), and health care (58K). Last week, USD/JPY had a noteworthy 4-hourly candle close from a technical viewpoint, breaking through the descending trendline and the psychological 130.00 level. The new 4-hourky open was in the form of a Hanging Man candlestick, with no upper wick, indicating bearish stagnation or a reversal. If we do see some retracement the 200-day moving average could act as support just below 131.00. On the weekly view of the chart, upside resistance suggests 132.90, 133.90 and 134.40 could be points of contention for the pair.

USDJPY - CURRENT SENTIMENT , FUNDAMENTAL BIAS#USDJPY - As of last day, the MARKET SENTIMENT for USD was slightly UP SIDE. The main reason for that is that the JPY is starting to weaken quite a bit. It happened because of the BOJ MEETING. This time after the FOMC, the dollar has also weakened. - Due to MARKET RISK ON, all MARKETS including STOCKS and COMMODITIES are going up a bit now. - There is definitely a high possibility that USDJPY will go UP a bit more and move to 133.67 LEVEL. Anyway, USDJPY price can go down to 125.02 LEVEL after that. We focus on MARKET UPDATES and MARKET SENTIMENT. Follow the given MARKET STRUCTURE.

USDJPY BuyExpecting UJ to slowly break into a buy after staying within resistance and support prices 132.600 and 131.600 since early Monday. MA convergence here + indicators show signs of a nice upward movement. I am also expecting the 10-year bond auction today to favor USD as well, which should drive prices for the short-term. Buy Entry: 133.000 Targets: 133.375 | 133.700 | 134.100 | 134.430 Resistance: 134.750 Be sure to like this post and let me know what you think in the comments below.

Two currency trades to consider in January The first month of the new year is upon us and with it a new batch of trading opportunities. But where are the trading opportunities this month? With no knowledge of what surprises may lurk around the corner, we can turn our attention to the Economic Calendar to see what events will occur and think about what assets might likely be affected by some wild swings in response. US dollar On Friday 13th, we have December inflation data from the world’s largest economy; the US. Inflation in the US has been slowing for the past five months and it is again expected to dip further in the latest reading. But, by how far is the big question. The market consensus is pointing to a fall from 7.1% to 6.5%. US inflation data is about the most interesting economic event for traders of the past few months as traders try to use it to gauge the economic consequences (and the desirability of the US dollar) of it falling too fast or not fast enough. A trade against the British pound might be a good call with the nation’s GDP data also due on the 13th, followed a few days later by its own inflation rate data. Japanese dollar We have both an important BOJ Interest rate decision (18th) and Inflation data (20th) emanating from Japan this month. The reason this is important is because the BOJ recently widened its target for 10-year government yields yet noted that it actually sees inflation falling back from its current 40-year high without it needing to change its ultra-loose monetary policy. Some market participants, including Trading Economics are pointing to Japanese inflation rising still higher, by 10-basis-points, for its December reading. All these seemingly hard-to-amalgamate perspectives means the Japanese dollar might be a good trade this month, against the US dollar, pound, or Australian dollar.
