USDJPYShort Fundamental Analysis – USD/JPY 1. Context • Federal Reserve (Fed) • Maintains high interest rates to combat persistent inflation in the US. • Solid macro data (GDP ~+2.6%, unemployment ~3.7%) supports a strong US dollar. • Bank of Japan (BoJ) • Continues an ultra-loose monetary policy with interest rates near zero. • Possible minor tweaks (e.g., yield curve control adjustments), but no firm signal of a major tightening cycle yet. 2. Possible Direction • Bias: Bullish for USD/JPY, driven by the favorable interest rate differential for the dollar and the lack of clear indication that the BoJ will abandon its ultra-accommodative stance. • Alternate Scenario: • A more “hawkish” tone from the BoJ (e.g., rate hikes, withdrawing yield curve control) could trigger sharp downward corrections in USD/JPY. 3. Factors to Watch This Week 1. US Economic Data: Indicators like Inflation (CPI/PCE) and Labor Market (NFP, Unemployment) can strengthen or weaken the dollar. 2. BoJ Communications: Any unusually firm signals of tightening could boost the yen. 3. Geopolitical Events: In periods of uncertainty, the yen may act as a safe haven, potentially tempering USD/JPY’s bullish momentum. 4. Overall Conclusion • USD remains strong due to higher rates and a resilient US economy. • JPY stays under pressure given the BoJ’s very accommodative policy. • In the absence of major surprises from Japan, the upward trend in USD/JPY is likely to remain intact in the near to medium term.

USDJPY - Trendline reached, watching the FVGThe price has recently reached and reacted to a significant descending trendline that has been acting as resistance since mid-January 2025. The current interaction with this trendline around 154.00 is particularly noteworthy as it coincides with a short-term pullback. Below the current price action, there's a Fair Value Gap (FVG) marked by the orange box approximately at the 153.00 level. This FVG represents an inefficiency in price that often tends to get filled. Should the price pull back to this zone, it could present an interesting long opportunity for traders for several reasons: 1) The FVG zone could act as support, as these areas often attract price action 2) The pullback would allow for a better risk-reward ratio for potential longs 3) The recent upward momentum from the early February lows suggests underlying strength For traders considering long positions, the FVG zone would be the key area to watch for potential entries.

Yen Below 154, Rate Cut Bets ReducedThe Japanese yen weakened past 154 per dollar, hitting its lowest level in over a week, as strong U.S. inflation data prompted traders to scale back expectations for further Federal Reserve rate cuts. Markets now anticipate just one quarter-point reduction this year. Meanwhile, Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda provided no clear indication regarding future interest rates, reaffirming the BOJ's commitment to its current policy. However, BOJ board member Naoki Tamura hinted at a possible rate hike in the latter half of fiscal 2025. The key resistance level is at 154.90, with a break above potentially opening the door to 156.00 and 157.00. On the downside, initial support stands at 151.90, followed by 151.25 and 149.20 if the decline continues.
