USD/JPY Buyers Target Three-Month High as Yen WeakensTrump's familiar rhetoric on trade tariffs has led to renewed concern for Japanese exporters, particularly at a time when Japan's economic stability relies heavily on external support to maintain growth momentum. These concerns, coupled with increased risk aversion, have weakened the yen against the U.S. dollar. As a result, USD/JPY managed to erase losses from the previous week, signaling renewed strength for the dollar. Technical Analysis From a technical standpoint, USD/JPY has approached a critical level on the daily chart, with buyers testing the resistance at 153.875. This price level represents a key inflection point, as it marks the upper limit of the pair's rally that commenced on September 16. A decisive break above this resistance would open the door for further gains, targeting subsequent levels at 154.582, 155.481, 156.473, and eventually 157.180. On the other hand, a failure to break through the 153.875 resistance level would embolden sellers, putting the focus back on the support levels at 152.883 and 151.277. Key Events to Monitor The minutes of the Bank of Japan's latest meeting indicated that policymakers remain cautiously optimistic about Japan's economic recovery and see opportunities for future rate hikes. This news has already prompted a reaction in U.S. Treasury yields, with the focus now turning to the upcoming 30-year Treasury bond auction on Wednesday. The outcome of this auction, along with ongoing U.S. election developments, could significantly impact the direction of U.S. yields, thereby affecting USD/JPY price action.

USDJPY_105 2024.11.04 10:19:04 Trading Signal BUYFrankPro Signal for USDJPY_105 Type: Screen Signal: BUY TP: 152.794 SL: 151.858 Entry Price: 151.975 Analysis for USDJPY Forecast Overall(Short-Term, Long-Term): ST= Probably Down LT= Probably Up Forecast Methods(Short-Term, Long-Term): ST=Up LT=Up ST=Down LT=Down ST=Down LT=Up Analysis Method(0) Based on the provided analysis, here are my expectations for the USD/JPY pair: **Short-term (next few days to a week):** * The pair is expected to test the support level near 150.25 before potentially rebounding and continuing its growth. * A breakout above the resistance area and closing above 154.45 would confirm this growth. * Given the soft nonfarm payrolls report expected, the pair might experience some volatility, but the overall trend suggests a rebound and continuation of growth. **Expected price movement:** Up **Long-term (next few weeks to a month):** * The pair has reclaimed the 151.00-152.00 region, which could act as new support, and could target levels such as 155.60 and even 160.00 in the coming weeks. * The US Dollar Index (DXY) breaking above its 104.50 resistance level could further support the pair's growth. * Political instability in Japan and a strong US economy are expected to continue contributing to the yen's weakness. **Expected price movement:** Up **Note:** The Elliott Wave analysis suggests potential continued growth, but it's essential to consider the broader market context and other technical indicators for a comprehensive view. Overall, both short-term and long-term analyses suggest that the USD/JPY pair is expected to go up, with some potential volatility in the short-term due to the soft nonfarm payrolls report. Result: ST=Up LT=Up Analysis Method(1) **Short-term Analysis (next few days/week):** Based on the technical analysis, the USD/JPY pair is expected to experience a pause in its recent up move due to the overstretched condition of the JPY implied volatility index. The pair is currently under pressure near the psychological resistance of 150.00, and a break below 143.60 intermediate support could trigger renewed weakness. However, a clearance above 149.30 could extend the rebound. Given these conditions, the short-term outlook is **neutral to slightly bearish**, with a potential downside move to 143.60 or lower if the support is broken. **Long-term Analysis (rest of 2024 and beyond):** The long-term forecast suggests that the USD/JPY pair will trade within a range of ¥138 to ¥150 in 2024. Analysts predict a modest strengthening of the US Dollar against the yen until the end of the year, with the pair expected to close at ¥145.555 in December. However, the long-term analysis also suggests that bears are dominating the market, with the price moving at the lower boundary of Bollinger Bands. This indicates a potential **downside bias** in the long term, with the pair potentially declining to ¥140 or lower by the end of the year. Overall, the USD/JPY pair is expected to experience a short-term pause or potential downside move, followed by a long-term decline to ¥140 or lower by the end of 2024. Result: ST=Down LT=Down Analysis Method(2) Based on the provided analysis, here is my assessment of the USD/JPY pair's expected price movement in both the short-term and long-term: **Short-term (next few days to a week):** * The pair is currently experiencing selling pressure near the psychological resistance of 150.00, and the prospect of market volatility ahead of the US presidential election is acting as a headwind for the yen carry trade, benefiting the Japanese Yen. * The technical analysis suggests that the pair may test the support level near 150.25, with potential for an upward rebound. * However, the VIX index is above 20, indicating increased volatility, which could lead to a breakout below 148.45, indicating a continuation of the decline. * Given these factors, I expect the price to **go down** in the short-term, potentially testing the support level near 150.25 or even breaking below 148.45. **Long-term (next few weeks to months):** * The fundamental factors suggest that the US Dollar's outlook is firm despite current pressures, with traders pricing out larger-than-usual interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. * The potential for a bullish reclaim of the 151.00-152.00 region could lead to targets of 155.60 and even 160.00 if the US Dollar strengthens across the board. * The Bank of Japan's potential ending of its negative interest rate policy could support the Yen, but this is not expected to have a significant impact in the long-term. * Given these factors, I expect the price to **go up** in the long-term, potentially breaking above 154.45 and reaching targets of 155.60 and 160.00. Please note that these predictions are based on the provided analysis and are subject to change as new information becomes available. Result: ST=Down LT=Up

USD/JPY surges as Trump storms to victoryThe US dollar is on a tear against the major currencies after Donald Trump’s sweeping victory in the US presidential election. In the North American session, USD/JPY is trading at 154.62, up a massive 2.0% on the day. There are still plenty of votes to count in the US election but it looking increasingly likely that Republican Donald Trump has been re-elected as President. Trump and Democrat Kamala Harris were in a dead heat going into the election on Tuesday and there was concern that declaring a winner could take days or even weeks, which would have led to prolonged uncertainty. In what was a huge surprise to both sides, Trump cruised to victory. The win is even sweeter for the Republicans as they likely have won control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate. With the Republicans in charge, Trump’s agenda will be easier to push through Congress. It should be noted that at the time of writing, the vote count is incomplete and Harris has not conceded defeat. The US dollar has responded to the Trump win with sharp gains and the yen is in full retreat. Trump’s threats to slap stiff tariffs on China, Europe and Mexico would support the dollar, as tariffs would raise inflation and interest rates. If Trump’s policies lead to trade wars, market sentiment will fall, further boosting the dollar. The Bank of Japan released the minutes of its September meeting today. At the meeting, the BoJ kept rates at 0.25% and Governor Ueda said that BoJ would not rush to raise rates during market volatility. Those comments were a response to a stock market slide after weak US employment reports raised fears that the US economy was deteriorating much more quickly than expected. Those fears were unfounded and the markets don’t expect a BoJ rate hike before early 2025, although if the weak yen takes a dive, it could accelerate plans to raise rates. USD/JPY has pushed past resistance at 151.86, 152.87 and 153.84. The next resistance line is 153.95 150.78 and 149.77 are providing support

USDJPY Analysis: Potential Retracement Amid USD StrengthUSDJPY recently broke out of a descending channel and surged to 153.77, but is now showing signs of a potential pullback. The price action suggests a possible retracement towards the highlighted support zone around 153.20 - 152.50. This movement is also influenced by the recent strength of the USD, driven by positive economic data and Federal Reserve signals on potential rate hikes. If this support holds, we may see a bounce back towards the recent highs, offering a buying opportunity

USD/JPY Rate High: Yen Under Pressure from Strong USDCurrently, USD/JPY is rising as the U.S. dollar strengthens on expectations that Trump’s policies could impact Federal Reserve interest rates, driving the pair above 150. In the short term, USD/JPY may stay elevated, though long-term trends will depend on Fed rate decisions and the Bank of Japan’s (BOJ) response. While BOJ maintains its loose monetary stance, the Fed’s potential for high rates to control inflation continues to support the USD/JPY pair. However, if the Fed signals rate cuts or BOJ shifts its policy, USD/JPY may decline.

USDJPY - Analysis My main trading principle is that the price always moves from swept liquidity levels to untouched liquidity levels. In particular case we clearly can see the following context: price swept 1D key liquidity level and left untouched level lower. But to take more statistically more probable trades we should wait for some time of lower timeframe confirmation. For me the best way to confirm higher timeframe context is structure. We can notice the break of market structure (sign of weakness) on key liquidity level, so there is a higher probability to see price lower at least on opposite level (marked lower). Your success is determined solely by your ability to consistently follow the same principles.

USD/JPY Price AnalysisIn this analysis, we examine the USD/JPY currency pair, focusing on the recent price movements and technical indicators. The chart highlights a significant downward trend, followed by a potential upward reversal, as indicated by the arrows. Technical Analysis: Downward Movement: The first arrow points to a sharp decline from the recent highs, suggesting a bearish trend. This movement aligns with increased selling pressure and bearish market sentiment. Support Levels: The price is expected to find initial support around the 147.00 level. This area has historically acted as a strong support, and a bounce from this level could indicate a temporary reversal. Further Decline: The second arrow suggests a further decline to the 142.00 level if the 147.00 support fails. This indicates a more extended bearish outlook. Potential Reversal: After hitting the 142.00 level, there is potential for an upward reversal, depending on market conditions and buying interest at this lower support level. Price Expectations: Based on the current technical setup, we anticipate the USD/JPY to test the 147.00 support level initially. If this level holds, a short-term bounce towards 148.50 is possible. However, if the support at 147.00 breaks, we expect further declines towards 142.00. A recovery from 142.00 could then lead to a rebound. Trading Strategy: Short Positions: Consider short positions if the price breaks below 147.00, targeting 142.00 as the next support. Long Positions: If the price finds support at 142.00 and shows signs of reversal, long positions could be considered with a target of 147.00 or higher. In conclusion, the USD/JPY chart suggests a bearish outlook with potential for a significant decline followed by a possible recovery. Traders should monitor key support and resistance levels and adjust their strategies accordingly.

USDJPY Analysis: Buy to win ? The USDJPY pair is showing a bullish structure, with prices currently around 152.29. The chart indicates a recent rally, but price action now suggests a potential pullback before resuming the uptrend. The immediate support zone lies around the 149.41 - 149.56 area, which could act as a solid base for a bounce. The technical setup indicates that, after a pullback to this support level, USDJPY could rally towards the next significant resistance target at 158.64. The moving averages are also aligned in favor of the bulls, providing additional confirmation of upward momentum in the medium term. Traders might consider waiting for the price to test the support zone before entering long positions, aiming for the 158.64 target. This pullback could present a good buying opportunity, aligning with the overall bullish trend.

USDJPY Daily Analysis: Slight Bearish Bias Expected Amid !!USDJPY Daily Analysis: Slight Bearish Bias Expected Amid Fundamental Shifts 08/11/2024 Introduction In today's analysis of USDJPY, the pair appears to carry a slight bearish bias, driven by significant macroeconomic factors. These include recent economic data from Japan, U.S. dollar movements, and evolving global risk sentiment. In this article, we’ll explore the critical factors affecting USDJPY today, helping you stay ahead in your trading decisions. --- Key Drivers Influencing USDJPY Today 1. Bank of Japan (BoJ) Policy Stance The Bank of Japan has maintained its ultra-loose monetary policy, but recent statements hint at a gradual shift if inflation stabilizes around target levels. Markets are speculating on potential policy adjustments, increasing support for the Japanese yen (JPY). Any tightening signals from the BoJ would strengthen the JPY, adding bearish pressure to USDJPY. 2. U.S. Federal Reserve’s Caution on Rate Hikes The Federal Reserve’s recent statements show a cautious stance on further interest rate hikes due to mixed economic data and inflation uncertainties. This dovish outlook has weakened the U.S. dollar (USD) across major currency pairs. A softer USD supports a bearish bias for USDJPY, especially as U.S. bond yields decline, making the JPY more appealing. 3. Global Risk Sentiment Impacting Safe-Haven Flows The JPY is considered a safe-haven currency and often gains during periods of market uncertainty. With mixed global economic indicators and recent geopolitical tensions, investors may lean towards the JPY, contributing to USDJPY’s bearish potential. 4. Technical Factors Supporting a Bearish Bias USDJPY recently tested key resistance levels and failed to break higher, adding to the bearish sentiment. The pair is also trading close to its 50-day moving average, a significant level that, if broken, could signal further downward movement. --- Technical Analysis Indicators Supporting a Bearish Outlook Moving Averages and RSI USDJPY is hovering near its 50-day moving average, a critical support level. A sustained break below this line may confirm a bearish trend. Additionally, the RSI (Relative Strength Index) is showing early signs of downward momentum, signaling potential selling pressure ahead. MACD and Volume Analysis The MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) indicator is showing bearish divergence, reinforcing the expectation of a bearish trend for USDJPY. Volume analysis also shows a decline in buying pressure, aligning with the anticipated downward movement. --- Conclusion The combination of a cautious Fed, potential policy changes from the BoJ, and current risk sentiment suggests a slight bearish bias for USDJPY today. Traders should keep an eye on key technical levels and monitor any news impacting the USD and JPY for further confirmation. --- SEO Tags: - #USDJPYforecast - #USDJPYanalysis - #USDJPYtechnicalanalysis - #ForexTradingUSDJPY - #JapaneseYenOutlook - #USDJPYtoday - #USDJPYnews - #ForexMarketAnalysis - #USDJPYprediction

USDJPY Is Bouncing Toward The NWOGLike many other currency pairs on the US dollar, USDJPY also opened with a downgap this week. This was still not closed and turned out to be a break-away gap with further price losses. The upcoming decision in the race for the US presidency is likely to be accompanied by high volatility. We expect USDJPY to close its gap soon. This assumption is also based on the fact that the price reacted with a bounce after reaching a Fibonacci retracement at 151.36.
