USD/JPY: Dips below 154 have been short livedThis is a quick and simple setup based around the assumption that support will continue to hold for USD/JPY. The market found support at a high-volume node (HVN) last week. And each time the market has either tested or traded beneath the 154 handle, it has been accompanied by heavier volumes and a subsequent move higher. This suggests bears have been burned trying to short at the cycle lows and then forced to capitulate. Given we're in the Asian session with no top-tier calendar events, and for now at least Trump's tariff headlines are in the rear-view mirror, we're looking for another bounce from / false break of the 154 handle. As this is simply a mean-reversion setup, we're not looking for a home run. Matt Simpson, Market Analyst at City Index and Forex.com

PROFIT & LEARN: NEWS TRADING (MY VIEWS) Introduction: “Hello, traders! Welcome back to ‘Profit and Learn.’ Today, we’re diving into a fascinating topic: how markets can move contrary to news. It’s a common misconception that positive news always leads to positive market movements. Let’s explore why this isn’t always the case.” Main Content: “Markets often price in expected news ahead of time. This means that by the time the news is released, the market has already reacted. Media and PR play a significant role in shaping sentiment, often creating a disconnect between actual news and market reactions. For instance, positive news can sometimes lead to a market drop due to profit-taking or because the news was already expected.” Case Study: “Let’s look at a recent example with USD/JPY. Despite all news items coming out positive, USD/JPY made a strong move downward. This can happen when markets have already priced in the positive news, or when traders take profits, causing a reversal.” Key Takeaways: “Always understand market psychology. Don’t rely solely on news headlines. Consider the bigger picture and broader market context before making trading decisions.” Conclusion: “Thanks for tuning in! Remember, successful trading requires a holistic approach. Stay informed, stay cautious, and happy trading!”

USD/JPY Analysis by zForex Research TeamYen Falls Below 155 as U.S. Tariff Suspension Eases Safe-Haven Demand The Japanese yen fell below 155 per dollar on Tuesday as the suspension of U.S. tariffs on Mexico and Canada reduced safe-haven demand. On Monday, Trump agreed to pause the tariffs for a month after talks with both nations. Optimism is also rising over a possible U.S.-China deal to prevent the 10% tariffs set for today. In Japan, investors await Wednesday’s wage data, which could impact the BOJ’s policy outlook. The central bank raised rates in January and signaled readiness for further hikes if economic conditions support it. The key resistance level appears to be 155.90, with a break above it potentially targeting 158.70 and 160.00. On the downside, 153.80 is the first major support, followed by 151.90 and 149.20 if the price moves lower.

USDJPY InsightWelcome, everyone! Please share your personal opinions in the comments. Don’t forget to hit the booster and subscribe! Key Points -The U.S. government has decided to delay the imposition of tariffs for one month through the deployment of border patrols with Mexico. Tariffs on Canada have also been postponed for a month. - The President of Mexico announced on X (formerly Twitter) that a series of agreements had been reached during a call with U.S. President Trump. Trump also posted on Truth Social confirming the one-month postponement. - President Trump stated that he would engage in talks with China within 24 hours, mentioning the Panama Canal and hinting at using tariffs as a negotiation tool. - The summary of the Bank of Japan’s monetary policy meeting minutes indicated a hawkish stance on interest rates. Due to uncertainties like Trump’s tariff threats, the yen is gaining traction as a safe-haven asset, leading to increased demand. - Tariff threats from Trump towards the EU have decreased demand for the euro, while the UK has seen an increase in demand following Trump's remarks suggesting room for negotiation. Major Economic Events This Week + February 5: U.S. Department of Labor JOLTS, ADP Nonfarm Employment Change + February 6: Bank of England Interest Rate Decision + February 7: U.S. January Nonfarm Payrolls, Unemployment Rate USD/JPY Chart Analysis After facing resistance at the 159 level, the pair has been on a gradual downtrend. Currently, it is consistently finding support at the 154 level. While it’s difficult to conclude that the previous uptrend has been fully broken, the confidence in a bullish outlook has significantly weakened compared to before. This week, we will determine the direction based on the 154 and 156 levels. A drop below 154 will indicate a bearish trend, while a breakout above 156 will suggest a bullish trend.

USDJPYGlobal economic events continue to shape market sentiment as trade policies, geopolitical developments, and monetary decisions influence currency movements. Recent statements regarding the Eurozone and BRICS, alongside a key policy stance from the Federal Reserve—praised by former U.S. President Donald Trump—have fueled market reactions. Amid inflation-driven expectations, the U.S. dollar is gaining momentum, triggering an upward push in USDJPY. From a technical perspective, traders are closely watching the 155.95 resistance level, while the previously breached channel support may be retested before any further bullish moves. Key resistance levels stand at **155.95** and **156.6**, while support is identified at **155.0** and **153.6**. The price is attempting to solidify its position within a bullish zone, yet resistance at **155.95** remains a critical barrier. A decisive break and sustained movement above this level could pave the way for further upside, potentially testing trend resistance in the near term.
