USDJPY: The Japanese Yen decreased because the market predicted
The Japanese yen is the worst among Asian currencies through 2024, extending its decline from the previous year as traders grow more confident that the Bank of Japan will delay policy changes were extremely moderate.
Reconstruction and stimulus measures following the devastating earthquake in central Japan are expected to offset any notion of BOJ policy tightening, at least in the near term.
Such a scenario points to increased pressure on the yen, especially from the wide gap between domestic and international lending rates. Japan's interest rates have remained extremely low for nearly eight years.
Weak data on inflation and weak wage growth also suggested less pressure on the BOJ to change its ultra-dovish course.
Broader Asian currencies were trending lower, as doubts about an early Fed rate cut kept traders largely biased against the dollar.

USDJPY SELLING FROM RESISTANCE ZONE !!!!HELLO TRADERS
As i can see this pair is still in bearish trend and still have to complete these design levels till it test daily horizontal Support CPI ahead so stay stick with you plans fundamentally bad conditions running on $ around the world so out TP,s are not a big deal after a yearly high this pair had done tested traders its just an trade idea share ur thoughts with in comment session
Potential double top on USD/JPYThe weekly chart shows a bullish engulfing candle formed last week, which marks 140.25 as an important swing low. Whilst we remain unconvinced the pair will simply break above 152, it does show the potential to extend its countertrend bounce.
However, with the pair stalling beneath last week’s high ahead of a key US inflation report, the potential for a pullback seems feasible. The 4-hour chart shows that a bearish divergence is forming with RSI (14) and the US2yr-JP2yr spread. Given last week’s high was just shy of 146 and the monthly S1 pivot, we’re on guard for a double top to send prices lower. Therefore, bears could fade into moves towards 146 with a stop above the monthly S1 pivot at 146.15.
For a large bearish reaction over the next 24 hours, we’d likely need to see a softer set of numbers from the US inflation report relative to expectations.
Bold 370 Pips Buy idea in USD/JPY,are you with me ?Hello fellow traders and the entire Tradingview community. I have come up with a bold new idea on USDJPY which can give us more than 320 Pips profit if it goes according to plan.
As you can see from the hourly chart, USD/JPY is currently back to the same level as it was
last Thursday. So, based on a simple demand and supply strategy, we can expect UJ to go up from this level provided this zone is not broken.
As an aggressive trader, I have already bought UJ@141.35 with a target of 145. I do not use a stop loss , but you can probably use an SL below the demand zone. Make sure you do not get stop-hunted.
Long Position on USDJPY-4HHello Traders !
This is the USDJPY Technical Viewpoint in The Long Term .
After these significant changes since the beginning of the year, the JPY has lost 25% versus the USD YTD.
We anticipate that this bullish trend will resume for a few more months after the market breaks above the 144.80 Resistance level, as shown in the chart.

USDJPY Shorts from 145.500 back down towards 142.000This week's strategy involves following the ongoing bearish trend in USDJPY. I plan to initiate sell positions around the newly formed 4-hour supply zone. To execute this, I'll wait for a redistribution pattern to unfold and a clear CHOCH signal before considering a sell. It's important to note that there's a possibility of price pushing higher to test the 14-hour or daily supply above.
Considering that price has already reacted to a supply zone, it wouldn't be surprising if it continues lower towards the 15-hour demand zone. In such a scenario, I'll be on the lookout for a buying opportunity, but I'll wait for the Asian low to be breached within that zone, potentially in the form of a spring, before considering a buy.
Confluences for USDJPY Sells are as follows:
- 4hr or 14hr supply zone that has caused a break of structure to the downside.
- Price is completed a retracement so we can expect a wyckoff distribution to play out.
- Lots of major trend lines still left below on the high time frame that needs to get swept.
- Price has been in a very bearish trend ever since it failed to take the all time highs.
- The dollar is also looking bearish so I can expect more downside for this pair too.
P.S. As I currently hold a strong bearish stance on USDJPY, I won't be surprised if the demand zone fails due to significant liquidity below it. However, at the moment, my primary focus is on potential sell opportunities, considering that price has recently completed a retracement. My strategy aligns with the prevailing bearish trend.

USDJPY → Descending Wedge Bullish Pattern! Should We Long Here?USDJPY is forming a descending wedge pattern signaling bullish sentiment and setting us up for a long position. Are we in a position to short now?
How do we trade this? 🤔
We have the wicks! But we need confirmation. We've had three pushes down that include two large wicks and some nice bullish price action that followed. What we need now is a push and a close above the Daily 30EMA to confirm the move up. These conditions will give us enough probability to enter a long.
I'm playing this trade conservatively because we do have a few items working against us:
1. Lack of a Higher High
2. The Former Support Zone could act as a resistance
3. The Daily 200EMA is right above that former Support Zone (now Resistance).
That being said, we have a setup for a long scalp and if we size our position properly, this is a good opportunity to grab some market movement.
💡 Trade Idea 💡
Long Entry: 142.200
🟥 Stop Loss: 140.000
✅ Take Profit: 144.400
⚖️ Risk/Reward Ratio: 1:1
🔑 Key Takeaways 🔑
1. Descending Wedge after Extensive Bear Run. Bias to Long.
2. Last three touches of Support had Strong Wicks. Bias to Long.
3. Look for break above 30EMA followed by Test of Support.
4. Enter 1:1 Long Scalp with Confirmation
5. RSI at 41.00 and above Moving Average. Bias to Long.
💰 Trading Tip 💰
Descending Wedges signal an increased probability of a trend reversal. Combined with strong buy bars (candles with large wicks on the bottom), creates conditions where a reversal trade is reasonable.

USDJPY Shorts from 142.500 down towards 140.000My bias for USDJPY is pro-trend, aiming for a bearish move within a nearby 10hr supply zone. Currently, I expect a bit more upside and a redistribution within my point of interest (POI). Upon confirmation of these factors and other confluences, I'm inclined to sell down towards the psychological level of 140.000.
I am also anticipating a bullish reaction from the 7hr demand, which has caused a break of structure (BOS) to the upside, I recognise the importance of waiting for price to reach a discounted or premium area due to its current equilibrium state. However, considering the recent BOS to the downside, I anticipate a retracement to a supply zone for a potential sell-off.
Confluences for USDJPY Sells are as follows:
- price has broken structure to the downside and has left clean 10hr supply zone.
- Price is currently in a retracement so we can expect a wyckoff distribution to play out.
- Lots of major trendiness still left below on the high time frame that needs to get swept.
- Price has been in a very bearish trend ever since it failed to take the all time highs.
- The dollar is also looking bearish so I can expect more downside for this pair too.
P.S. As this trade aligns with the prevailing trend, the selling proposition is currently highly favorable. While the Fibonacci range indicates that the 14hr supply is more likely, I foresee the possibility of the 10hr supply failing to react off the 14hr at a more premium level.
HAPPY NEW YEARS TO ALL OF YOU AND HOPE THIS YEAR BRING EVERYONE PROFITABILITY AND CONSISTENCY. LETS CATCH THESE PIPS!
USDJPY: USD/JPY hit a 5-month low due to Fed - BoJ policy divergJPY's rally benefited from hawkish comments from BoJ Governor Ueda when he emphasized policy divergence between the Fed and BoJ.
USDJPY is falling again after 2 consecutive sessions of increase. Technical indicators show that the downward momentum is still strong. The key resistance to watch is the 200-day MA at 142.75, with the next target at 143 and 144. On the contrary, if the price can be maintained below this mark, the downtrend will be consolidated. Sellers may aim for the 141.90/85 zone, followed by the multi-month bottom at 141 set last week, support at 140.45 and the 140 mark.
USDJPY: Asian session update: Stocks and USD fall as they begin USD weakened, JPY and antipodeans led the rise
Asian stocks fell, with futures on the S&P 500 index up slightly by 0.07%
US 10-year bond yield falls 1.7bp to 3.88%

Investors continued to digest November PCE and December Consumer Sentiment data released on Friday, which showed that monthly inflation in the US fell for the first time in more than 3½ years, while sentiment Consumer sentiment remains strong, reflecting the economy's durability. A deceleration in core inflation and growing recession fears will prompt the Fed to shift from "committing to fighting inflation with higher interest rates for longer" to reassuring markets that it will "not hold rates." stayed high for too long".
In the FX market, major currencies increased slightly after the Christmas holiday as the USD weakened. USD/JPY is steady at 142.30. The prospect of the BoJ removing its ultra-loose policy has supported JPY's rise in recent weeks. Yesterday, BoJ Governor Ueda announced that the possibility of reaching the inflation target is "gradually increasing" and that they will consider adjusting policy if there is "enough" prospect of reaching the 2% target in a sustainable way.
USDJPY → Caught in a Bear Trend! About to Reverse? Let's look.USDJPY has been falling in a bear trend since it's double top at last years high of 152.000. We saw a great bull response candle on December 7th and the close of a slightly lower low on December 13th. We may have had the first leg up in a bull reversal, but do we have the data to support it?
How do we trade this? 🤔
Short answer, no. We need confirmation that we've hit a strong support zone and we do have *some* data to support that. December 7th, good wick on the underside of a buy candle followed by a run up, end of the second leg down. December 13th, slightly lower low but a strong bull run to the upside late in the week, end of the third leg down. This means we need to be looking for strong support since we're starting to get strong support signals.
What we need is a double bottom in the 141.000-141.200 area. A strong buy signal bar and confirmation to provide us with enough probability to enter a long trade. It's reasonable to scalp at a 1:1 Risk/Reward Ratio with hesitancy that this is truly a reversal or even a trading range. We can scalp for now and wait for a third test of support to give us even more probability for a swing trade at a 1:2 or 1:3 Risk/Reward. Stop loss should be below the double bottom and take profit should be near the previous support, now resistance.
Until then, it's wise to wait for that support to reveal itself or the alternative, we break down for another 4th leg. At this time, we assess the chart and look for entries again.
💡 Trade Ideas 💡
Long Entry: 142.600
🟥 Stop Loss: 140.500
✅ Take Profit: 144.700
⚖️ Risk/Reward Ratio: 1:1
🔑 Key Takeaways 🔑
1. Strong Bull Response Candle followed by slightly lower low, third leg down.
2. Strong Bull candles at the end of the last run up, first leg up in Bull reversal?
3. Pulling back to previous low, look for Double Bottom or Breakdown to new Low.
4. If Double Bottom, look to Long 1:1 scalp half position size, may swing other half.
5. RSI at 45.00 and above Moving Average. Reversal Trade Opportunity, Wait for Confirmation.
💰 Trading Tip 💰
Trends typically have three legs in either direction. Signals of a reversal include strong buy or sell bars with large wicks, higher highs and lower lows get weaker, and responses to the reverse direction get stronger. Confirmation lies with double and triple bottoms with a strong candle closing on or near its low/high.

USDJPY Shorts from 143.500 down towards 140.000Currently, with the recent reaction from the 22-hour demand zone, there's an expectation for a retracement towards a nearby supply to trade in line with the trend. At the current price, I'll wait for the small bullish reaction to lose steam in order for price to distribute.
Once the Wyckoff distribution occurs on the lower time frame, accompanied by a CHOCH, I plan to initiate sells targeting the 140.00 mark, a zone associated with strong demand. However, I'm also mindful that the price might ascend further and react off a more premium supply above.
Confluences for USDJPY Sells are as follows:
- This bias aligns with the current bearish trend that has been perpetuated.
- Lots of major trend lines, equal lows and asian lows below on the higher time frame.
- There's a near by 14hr supply zone that looks promising and a better supply on the 10hr just above it.
- For price to maintain its bearish trend it must react off a supply to trigger another sell off.
- Bullish pressure is looking exhausted and we could see a wyckoff distribution play out soon.
P.S. Regarding the overall market sentiment, it remains evidently bullish. However, with a strong emphasis on respecting the all-time high (ATH), I am steadfast in my belief that a long-term bearish trend is likely to emerge, given the significant liquidity present below. This is why selling positions are highly preferable and exhibit more favorable reactions.

USDJPY: Dollar fluctuates as views of interest rate cuts grow; TThe US dollar is experiencing volatility against most major currencies today, with market sentiment affected by predictions that the US Federal Reserve may start cutting interest rates. The Japanese yen remains an exception, maintaining its position against the dollar following the Bank of Japan's decision to continue its expansionary monetary policy.
Federal Reserve officials tried to manage market expectations after a Federal Open Market Committee meeting last week, which hinted at the possibility of interest rate cuts in 2024. This outlook has led to a surge in financial markets, with current forecasts suggesting a 67.5% chance of a rate cut at the Fed's March meeting, based on the CME FedWatch tool.
Senior financial markets analyst at Capital.com, Kyle Rodda, commented on the situation, saying that the Federal Reserve must now decide whether to match market expectations or counter them, potentially causing market instability.
Atlanta Federal Reserve President Raphael Bostic on Tuesday reiterated his forecast for two interest rate cuts in the second half of the year, but emphasized that immediate action was not necessary. At the same time, Richmond Fed President Thomas Barkin noted that the central bank's ability to lower interest rates will depend on the trajectory of the economy.
The dollar index, which compares the US dollar to a basket of other currencies, remained relatively unchanged at 102.20 after falling more than 0.3% earlier. Last week, the index hit a four-month low at 101.76. Rodda also mentioned that upcoming economic data will be important in determining the direction of the dollar, as it will indicate whether the expected interest rate cuts for next year are justified.
Investors are now awaiting the release of the core personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index, the Fed's preferred inflation measure, which could shed light on whether inflation is slowing enough to justify easing. policy next year or not.
In Japan, the yen traded lower at 143.78 yen against the dollar, having weakened after comments from Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda, which did not suggest a change was imminent from negative interest rates. According to National Australia Bank senior foreign exchange strategist Rodrigo Catril, expectations are now set for a policy change no sooner than April.
