USDJPY - Investor Has Left The Chart| 28th February 2020Previous post of USD will hit the 109.347 Correction is happening towards the US markets. Dow Jones lose 1200 points while stocks fell for the six(6) straight days. On 12th Feb equities peaked. Dow Jones fell around 10%. The selling almost equal like S&P500 and Nasdaq. On the other hand, Yen and Franc has been main beneficiaries of risk aversion. Investors sought safety in Dollar. All that has reset when lots of investors leave the greenback and it driving lower towards all major currencies except CAD (Canada dollar). Lots of my traders under me since I am IB (introduce broker) wondering the dollar relinquished its safe haven status and boils down to the fear the the US will be the next to experiences a sudden increase in n-covid19. If you guys see in Asia and Europe, the virus spreading rapidly. The Center of Disease Control warned of more outbreaks. President Trump failed to reassure investors that the virus can be contained. Only 445 people have been tested for the virus according to the CDC as of February 25th. This compares to 7,100 people who have been tested in the UK and tens of thousands more abroad. In just one province in Canada (Ontario), 629 tests were conducted. So the price action in the market reflects the fear that the number of cases will explode when the testing requirements broaden. The deepening sell-off in US stocks and Treasury yields also driven investors out of US assets. Ten year Treasury yields dropped to a record low of 1.24%. These moves bas investors looking for a response from the Federal Reserve. So far we've heard very little from Powell & company but futures are pricing in 75bp of easing this year. While this may seem aggressive, if the selling doesn't subside, Powell will have to reassure investors by suggesting that a rate cut is possible. I have find out that these are the reason why investors has left the Dollar chart a. Fear that United State of America will be the next major outbreak coronavirus b. President Trump failed to reassure investor thus sending stocks tumbling over c. Correction another 2% drop in equities market d. Ten(10) years yields drop below 1.3% e. Fed fund futures pricing in 75bp of easing this year The only currency that was hit harder by selling today was the Canadian dollar Oil is getting crushed by the coronavirus. The price of crude dropped to a 1 year low as investors worry that the virus could lead to the biggest demand shock since the 2008 financial crisis. With suspended flights and economic activity in China slow to recover after grinding to a halt, global oil demand could contract for the first time in 10 years on a quarterly basis. OPEC will respond with production cuts but that may not be enough to stem the slide. The Bank of Canada meets next week and the worry is that they could surprise with a rate cut. We think that's unlikely given the BoC's previous comments about the limited virus impact but surely their confidence has weakened. Fourth quarterly and monthly GDP numbers are scheduled for release on Friday. A significant slowdown is expected for Q4 but forecasts are low so an upside surprise is possible as well. The best performing currency was the euro which rose nearly 1% against the US dollar. The currency pair benefitted from stronger Eurozone confidence numbers and a downward revision to the personal consumption component of US Q4 GDP. It is difficult to foresee the rally in EUR/USD continuing with the virus spreading quickly across Europe. The German and Italian economies were faltering before we even heard about the words coronavirus and with the outbreak hitting the industrial heartland of Italy, 2020 could be another ugly year for Europe. Italy was one of the weakest European economies in 2019 while Germany barely avoided recession. For all of these reasons, we expect the rally in EUR/USD to hit a brick wall quickly.

USDJPY approaching resistance, prepare to sellIntro: USDJPY is seeing some really strong resistance, good opportunity to get into a short trade. Sell below 106.47. Stop loss at 107.34. Take profit at 104.77. Reason for the trading strategy (technically): Price is seeing strong resistance at 106.47 (Fibonacci retracement, Fibonacci extension, horizontal overlap resistance, descending resistance) and a strong reaction could occur at this price to push it down to 104.77 support (Fibonacci extension). We do have to watch out for intermediate support at 105.24 (horizontal swing low support) which needs to be broken to open a further drop. RSI (89) sees descending resistance hold price down really well with its bearish momentum.

USDJPY profit target reached perfectly once again,prepare to buyBuy above 110.25. Stop loss at 110.03. Take profit at 111.15. Reason for the trading strategy (technically): Price has shot down and reached our profit target perfectly. We prepare to buy above major support at 110.25 (Fibonacci extension, horizontal swing low support) for a push up to at least 111.15 resistance (Fibonacci retracement, horizontal overlap resistance). Stochastic (21,5,3) is seeing major support above 4% and we expect a strong bounce above this level. Correlation analysis: We’re expecting overall JPY weakness with bounces expected on AUDJPY, USDJPY and EURJPY. Hence this falls very nicely into a correlated move.

We turn bullish above 112.58 support (Fibonacci retracement, Fibonacci projection, horizontal overlap support) for a push up to 113.75 resistance (Fibonacci retracement, horizontal overlap resistance).

USDJPY profit target reached, prepare to sellSell below 113.95. Stop loss at 114.95. Take profit at 112.56. Reason for the trading strategy (technically): Price has reached our profit target perfectly. We now turn bearish below 113.95 resistance (Fibonacci retracement, horizontal resistance) for a drop down to 112.56 support (Fibonacci retracement, horizontal overlap support). Stochastic (21,5,3) is seeing strong resistance below the 94% level. Reason for the trading strategy (fundamentally): The main news event driving the USD today is the U. of Michigan Confidence. It assesses consumer confidence regarding personal finances, business conditions and purchasing power based on hundreds of telephone surveys. A low or falling University of Michigan Sentiment value is considered an early indicator of an economic downturn. We’re expecting a lower value and a weaker forecast which means a weaker USD, which goes in line with our bearish USDJPY trade.
