USDJPY- KEY AREAS FOR MAXIMISING OPPORTUNITIESI’ve only marked a couple of key daily levels and kept the chart as easy to read as possible.. very important to sometimes just clear the chart and look at the overall directionally movement of the pair that your trading. Long term weekly and daily price has continued to push to the upside creating many opportunities for holding long term buys and for short term in and out buy trades off the pull backs on the 1-4hr. At the moment price is in a bit of a standstill because of holidays but every time prices makes a quick sell off it is counteracted by an influx of buyers, giving us a clear indication of where price is heading (160.000) I do believe we may see price push straight through this area but will also be looking for price to make a pull back from around here! I’m only interested in buy opportunities at the moment with this pair, I don’t like to ever go against the price overall direction.. rather then trying to pick the tops or bottoms of potential reversals I feel its a lot easier and smarter to just ride the waves of the over direction (if price is overall bullish look for buys off the pullbacks and if price is bearish look for sells on the pullbacks) Happy New Year to all! Hope everyone smashes their goals in 2025, ill be posting again only on TradingView

The Yen's Resilience Against the Dollar: What’s Happening?Hey there, traders! I’ve been keeping a close eye on the options market lately, and I can’t help but notice a growing trend: traders are actively betting against the further strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Japanese yen. In other words, forecasting a potential strengthening of the Yen. Over the past 2-3 weeks, we’ve seen a significant buildup of volume in vertical spreads, primarily targeting this currency pair. But let’s take a moment to look at the bigger picture here. Since December 20, 2024, the dollar index has climbed by 1.6%, and in the first few days of the new year, the dollar’s momentum has even picked up speed. However, if you take a closer look at the Dollar/Yen pair, you’ll see something interesting: there’s no sign of growth. In fact, the quotes are just “chopping” around in a tight range, resisting any further weakening of the yen. Right now, the quotes are still above the average long position of retail traders (open source data), and the bulls seem to be feeling pretty good. But beneath the surface, there are processes at play that are starting to show signs. Conclusion/ The current situation in the options market and the graphical behavior of the dollar/yen pair suggest that changes in trend may be on the horizon. Traders should stay alert to these signals and be prepared for potential volatility/decline in the near future. But please don't rush! Happy trading!

The Greenback was already performing strongly on expectations that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will reduce interest rates gradually this yearMeanwhile, the Japanese Yen (JPY) performs strongly against its major peers on Thursday amid worries that Japanese administration could intervene in the FX domain against excessive foreign exchange moves. Japan Finance Minister Katsunobu Kato said last week that authorities are watching FX moves closely and will act to stabilize faltering Yen

USD/JPY: After Testing 158.07, Ready for a Bearish Move?The analysis of the USD/JPY exchange rate reflects a complex combination of macroeconomic, monetary, and geopolitical factors influencing the pair's performance. During the Asian session on January 3, 2025, USD/JPY dropped toward 157.00, highlighting bearish pressure driven by a deterioration in risk sentiment and weak Chinese PMI data, which increased demand for the Japanese yen as a safe-haven currency. Reduced activity due to Japanese holidays amplified exchange rate movements. Nonetheless, Japan’s December manufacturing PMI showed a marginal improvement to 49.6 from November’s 49.0, although it remained in contraction territory for the sixth consecutive month. Recent dynamics have been influenced by declining U.S. Treasury yields, with the 10-year yield at 4.62% and the 2-year yield at 4.32%, temporarily weakening the U.S. dollar. However, the greenback’s resilience is supported by expectations of fewer rate cuts by the Federal Reserve in 2025. The DXY remains near 108.00, reflecting the dollar's intrinsic strength, further corroborated by solid U.S. economic data and persistently high inflation, with Tokyo's CPI rising to 3.0% year-over-year in December. In Japan, the government and the Bank of Japan (BoJ) maintain a cautious stance. The BoJ has emphasized that potential adjustments to monetary policy will depend on wage dynamics and inflation, which is expected to approach the 2% target in 2025. While the minutes of the latest meeting left room for gradual rate hikes, the likelihood of significant actions in the short term appears limited. This strengthens the expectation that the interest rate differential will continue to favor the dollar over the yen in the medium term. The global geopolitical and macroeconomic context also adds to uncertainty. Recent statements from Japan’s Finance Minister expressing concerns over unilateral and sharp currency market moves suggest potential FX interventions in the event of further yen depreciation. However, such interventions would likely have only a temporary impact, given that structural monetary policy dynamics remain favorable to the dollar. Investors are closely monitoring upcoming macroeconomic events, including U.S. Non-Farm Payrolls (January 10, 2025), which could confirm further strengthening of the U.S. labor market, and the U.S. CPI release (January 15, 2025), which will provide insights into the Fed’s future monetary policy trajectory. The BoJ’s monetary policy meeting is another key event, as any signal of monetary normalization could trigger yen strengthening. In the short term, the pair is expected to remain near current levels, with a potential test of the 158.07 resistance. In the medium term, the trend remains bullish, supported by the interest rate differential and the strength of the U.S. economy. In the long term, however, potential economic reforms in Japan and global monetary policy normalization could reduce the dollar's appeal against the yen, pushing the exchange rate lower.

USD/JPY WANT SELLING AT 157.20USD/JPY Analysis and Forecast The USD/JPY pair has shown a clear rejection at its resistance area of 158.00, signaling potential bearish momentum. This level now positions itself as a strong selling zone for traders looking to capitalize on the downtrend. Technical Outlook Resistance: 158.00 Support Levels: 156.00 (key support), with further potential downside targets at 153.50 and 152.00. If the pair continues to hold below the 158.00 resistance, sellers may gain further control, pushing prices towards these technical targets. However, traders should keep an eye on the 156.00 support line, as a break below this level could confirm stronger bearish sentiment.
