I continue to sell JPY pairs (go long the yen)I've been long the JPY since the beginning of 2025. I recently closed an incredible OANDA:NZDJPY short position, which was very rewarding. Currently, I'm short CADJPY, CHFJPY, EURJPY, and GBPJPY.
My bullish bias for the yen continues. The yen index recently closed above a key horizontal level, signalling that there could be more upside.

Rci Signal
Description:
The RCI Signals indicator helps identify clear Buy and Sell signals by leveraging the RCI (Rank Correlation Index) technical analysis tool. By tracking the price ranking relationships across three different timeframes (short, mid, and long), this indicator supports traders in detecting potential trend reversals and confirming ongoing trends.
How It Works:
• Calculates the RCI Short (Short-Term), RCI Mid (Mid-Term), and RCI Long (Long-Term) values based on closing prices.
• Provides Buy signals when RCI indicates an upward reversal and Sell signals when a downward reversal is detected.
Trading Signals:
• Buy (Long): When RCI short < mid < long and RCI short begins rising along with price.
• Sell (Short): When RCI short > mid > long and RCI short begins falling along with price.
Features:
• Displays Buy/Sell signals directly on the price chart.
• Optional display of RCI Short, Mid, and Long values for detailed trend analysis.
• Easily customizable RCI periods (default 9, 26, 52 candles).
Benefits:
• Helps identify optimal entry and exit points.
• Reduces trading risks by clarifying market trends.
• Can be flexibly combined with other indicators for enhanced trading strategies.
Usage Instructions:
1. Add the indicator to your chart.
2. Customize the short, mid, and long RCI periods according to your trading strategy.
3. Observe the Buy (Green) and Sell (Red) signals directly on the price chart.
4. Enable the RCI value panel if you wish to monitor detailed RCI calculations.
Note:
• Best used in combination with other indicators for greater accuracy.
• Suitable for both short-term and medium-term trading.

The Yen Crash Could be Finally Over.The Yen index trades at a really interesting level as we head into the BoJ rates decision.
We're trading at the 1.61 extension of the previous bull trap.
This is a big make or break level. A lot of consideration does have to be given towards the bear break. In a bear break the 1.61 hits. 1.27 often retests and then the 1.61 break.
If that happens, Yen can capitulate hard. Very important risk to be aware of.
However, if the 1.61 holds as support we might see a mean reversion move in this.
Mean reversion move in the Yen index after this prolonged downtrend would spell sensational crash moves in XXXJPY.
Very interesting decision to make in this zone. I think it sets the tone for the trend to either side.
Lot of epic trade setups in the XXXJPY pairs in the event it's a Yen reversal.
Yen Bullish Three Drives PatternHow to identify the Three Drives pattern?
The three drives harmonic pattern is identified by various three higher highs or lower lows. They gather in a reversal of the existing trend. Every move lower or higher is quantified by using the Fibonacci extension and retracement levels of 61.8 and 127.2 percent.
In some instances, the definition of the 3-drive pattern may be expanded to include various Fibonacci retracement or extension levels, like a 161.8 percent extension rather than a 127.2 percent extension. The pattern also works without Fibonacci levels, but it may be less accurate.
Bullish Three Drives pattern
The pattern begins with a bearish swing to give traders their first drive. Traders can then notice a retracement higher into the 61.8 percent level of the first drive to give traders the A point. From here, the price turns lower again to give the second drive which should complete into the 1.27 percent extension of the first drive.
From here, the price correct higher once more. It goes back up into the 61.8 percent retracement of the second drive to give us our B point. Then there will be one final push lower with price trading down to the 1.27 percent extension of the second drive to give a third drive that completes the pattern and offers a buying zone.
JAPANESE YEN INDEXThe Japanese Yen index (JXY) has been on a long term bearish trend. Recent intervention by the BoJ has lifted the Yen. On the weekly charts, the Yen has broken a key level indicating a shift in order flow.
Price is expected to push higher to mitigate supply zones. In the short term, we expect the Yen to decline before resuming the bullish move. Consequently, majority of cross Yen pairs will push higher as the Yen index moves lower. Thereafter we expect the Yen to strengthen possibly towards the end of 2024.
WHAT'S FLOWING: AUDCNH / CADCHF / EURNOK / XR1. AUDCNH
Market Sentiment:
AUDCNH is showing some weakness, with analysis pointing towards potential declines towards key support levels near 4.500. The pair seems to be struggling amid mixed global sentiment towards Chinese economic growth and fluctuating Australian dollar strength.
Trade Idea:
Monitor the short setup if the pair continues downward pressure, especially with upcoming data releases from both economies likely to increase volatility.
(TradingView)
2. CADCHF
Market Context :
CADCHF has been steady as commodity-linked currencies remain sensitive to global oil prices and risk sentiment. Any further pressure on crude oil could create potential opportunities to short the CAD against the more stable Swiss franc.
Outlook:
Traders should keep an eye on oil developments and geopolitical news, which could influence CADCHF movements and create breakout opportunities.
3. EURNOK
Movement:
The euro remains sensitive against the Norwegian krone, with EURNOK reacting to oil price shifts. Norway’s economy, reliant on energy exports, continues to benefit from oil price surges. As energy markets evolve, the krone could further strengthen, putting downside pressure on EURNOK.
Strategy:
Consider potential downside plays, especially as oil markets remain volatile and in focus this week.
4. XRPUSD
Crypto Sentiment:
XRP has been fluctuating, with its market performance influenced by broader cryptocurrency volatility. Over the past few months, XRP has shown resilience, with increased trading activity recently supporting slight upward movements
(CoinMarketCap).
Trade Setup:
The token remains positioned for short-term speculative trades, with investors eyeing the 0.54-0.56 USD range as a key area to watch for potential breakouts or reversals.
JPY overview.The overall theme will revolve around JPY weakness, AUD strength and CAD weakness. there are a few assets on my watchlist that did not close last week with huge delta, but I have included them in here because I think they have pulled back / consolidated enough for them to resume their trend and so I might look to get involved in them if and when opportunity presents.
JPY in general - I see that it's weak and it should continue in that direction this week. I am going to post outlook on several key assets that I am looking to buy against JPY.
another interesting thing that I observed last week was low volume.
almost every asset had significantly low volume as compared to last week. especially JPY pairs as they sort of pulled back a bit and then buyers started to step in. JPY pairs had almost half volume last week as compared to the week before. this will give me a pause while looking for entries. not B or C grade setups for me this week. if I see normalcy coming in wrt volume this week, then I shall look to open up a bit in terms of taking B Grade entries.
Waiting for a reversal signalFollowing the trend , price seems to at the lowest level where recent support was established , but waiting for a clear reversal signal with clear confluence , near 65.82 . Following wave theory price could over extend to that zone and clear price pattern structure could mean a clear reversal, with a flip in price near (@67.07, the recent lower high) in the lower time frames for a clear signal in a change in trend.

JXY seasonality In the realm of market trends and seasonality, January in the JXY index has historically exhibited a remarkable 70% bullish bias. However, the current scenario defies this pattern, with the JXY index experiencing a decline exceeding 3% until January 22, 2024. The peculiar nature of January's bullish inclination in recent years can be attributed to the pivotal TOKYO CPI (Consumer Price Index) year-on-year data release during this month. Last year, the JXY index initially faced a downward trajectory in January, only to rebound following the release of the TOKYO CPI. This led to a positive shift, ultimately yielding an approximate 1% return. As the market eagerly anticipates the unfolding events, the upcoming TOKYO CPI data release on January 23, 2024, holds the potential to significantly influence the JXY index and shape the trajectory of its performance in the immediate future.
Japanese Currency Index: Harmonic Bottom with RSI ConfirmationThere is a Confluence of a Bullish Butterfly and a smaller Bullish Bat visible on the 5-day and Weekly timeframes on the JXY as the RSI ticks out of the oversold zone for the 4th time at this level while making higher lows each time. It would seem as if the JXY is confirming to us that it has reached a Harmonic Bottom and is preparing to rise up to some of the longer-term moving averages, with the highest being at around $89-$95. During this time, we have seen the JXY continue to strengthen against other non-USD currencies, but now it's starting to look like not only will the JXY rise but that the Yen will gain dominance against the Yen, and when this happens, I also expect the JGB Yields to rise significantly. So beyond my forex positions, I will be adding YCS puts to my list of Bullish JPY positions. YCS is a 2x Return of USDJPY so if JPY starts to go up from here, this ETF could really crash down fast.
