Consolidation Midweek Rally #7 Daily fractal tuesday tradeAfter Friday touched the daily Orderblock formed during election week, I saw the perfect opportunity for a daily fractal trade. I waited for the London session's move, and since price dropped below the Asian range after 12:00 AM New York time, I waited for a 15-minute Orderblock to form and retraced into it. The entry happened around 2:00 AM, but even if I had waited until 2:30 AM, the result would have been the same. I took partial profits and closed the entire trade on Thursday after price hit a Premium Discount (PD) array. Although the playbook suggests Friday often sets the high of the week, I chose not to be greedy and exited early. doing screenshots and publish really helps me a lot :D

Japan GDP beats forecast, yen ends skidThe Japanese yen is in positive territory today, putting the brakes on a four-day skid. In the European session, USD/JPY is trading at 155.54 down 0.45% on the day. Japan’s economy expanded by 0.9% in the third quarter, below the revised 2.2% gain in Q2 but above the market estimate of 0.7%. Quarterly, GDP rose 0.2%, lower than the 0.5% gain in Q2 and matching expectations. The GDP numbers were not sparkling but point to a second straight quarter of growth. August economic activity was dampened due to a “megaquake” alert and a fierce typhoon which caused widespread destruction and disruption. Private consumption, which comprises more than half of the country’s GDP showed strong growth of 3.6% y/y, despite the weather issues. This is an encouraging sign for the Bank of Japan, which wants to see inflation rise to demand and consumption. The BoJ has been vague about the timing of a rate hike but the markets are looking at December or January as likely dates. The yen has been wobbly and is down 2.3% in November. If the yen’s downswing continues, the BoJ could decide to hike rates at the Dec. 19 meeting. There is also the possibility of the Ministry of Finance intervening in the currency markets if the yen declines sharply. The US wraps up the week with retail sales for October, with a market estimate of 1.9%. Retails sales eased to 1.7% y/y in September, which was an 8-month low. Monthly, retail sales are expected to inch up to 0.4% from 0.3%. Consumer spending has been generally strong and consumer confidence should improve now that the uncertainty over the US election is over. USD/JPY has pushed below support at 1.5601 and is testing 1.5560. The next support line is 1.5493 1.5668 and 1.5709 are the next resistance lines

USD/JPY Under Pressure: A Guide to Shorting OpportunitiesMarket Sentiment and Positioning: Monitoring the sentiment in the forex market can provide insights into the overall positioning of traders. If sentiment shifts towards bearishness for the dollar based on the above factors, it could create a self-fulfilling prophecy as more traders take short positions. Geopolitical Tensions: Geopolitical events can significantly influence currency markets. For instance, any escalation in trade tensions, conflicts, or uncertainty surrounding U.S. foreign policy could lead to a flight to safety, where investors prefer holding the yen over the dollar, thus providing a rationale for shorting USD/JPY. Economic Slowdown in the U.S.: Recent economic indicators from the U.S. may suggest a slowdown, such as declining GDP growth, rising unemployment, or decreasing consumer confidence. If these trends continue, they can lead to a bearish outlook for the USD, prompting traders to short USD/JPY.

#001 USDJPY DCAEntered when price came back to the 60sma, and confluence with the stochastics 20,1,1. I will be adding into my losers when price comes back to the pre-marked levels as shown in the chart. Every pip is 0.01cents, and I do not set any stop loss. I am testing this out on my other fool around account but I hope I do not blow it. Warning regarding News Days Do not trade until the news has been released and the market has calmed down, reason being, before news release, price tends to go flat and you will just be wasting your time and energy hoping for price to move in your intended direction or against your intended direction, therefore, exerting your mental capital more than neccesary. Secondly, especially when trading on the minutes time frame, when news get released, there's a high possibility that volatility will take you out. Or, if you do not set any stop loss, it would bring you to the opposite side of the room for over 100pips (for example) and you have to crawl your way back to at least breakeven.

USD/JPY hit 15-week high, Japan GDP nextThe Japanese is lower for a fourth straight trading day and has declined 2.1% during that time. In the North American session, USD/JPY is trading at 155.85 up 0.25% on the day. The markets are braced for a sharp slowdown in third-quarter GDP, which will be released early Friday. The market estimate stands at 0.7% y/y, compared to a revised 3.1% in the second quarter. On a quarterly basis, GDP is expected to ease to 0.2%, following a revised 0.7% gain in Q2. The strong GDP numbers in the second quarter reflected wage negotiations in the spring which resulted in sharp wage increases and a recovery in the auto industry. The BoJ meets next on Dec. 19 and key data such as the GDP release and inflation will be important factors ahead of the meeting. As well, wages have been rising which could translate into increased consumer spending and demand-driven inflation. In the US, the Producer Price Index (PPI) rose in October to 2.4% y/y, up from a revised 1.9% gain in September. The core rate also rose to 3.1% from a revised 2.9% in September. The increase in PPI comes on the heels of consumer inflation (CPI) which rose from 2.4% y/y to 2.6%. The core rate remained unchanged at 3.3%. The Federal Reserve is unlikely to change its plans due to the rise in inflation, which had decelerated for six straight months. The path of inflation can be bumpy and Fed policymakers won’t be losing sleep over a single monthly increase. If inflation accelerates next month, however, there will be some concern and we could hear calls for an oversized half-point cut in December. USD is testing resistance at 155.95. Above, there is resistance at 1.5643 There is support at 155.15 and 154.67

USDJPY Daily Analysis: Slight Bearish Bias Expected Amid Dovish USDJPY Daily Analysis: Slight Bearish Bias Expected Amid Dovish Fed and Safe-Haven Demand for Yen 14/11/2024 Introduction Today’s outlook for USDJPY suggests a slight bearish bias, driven by key factors favoring the Japanese yen (JPY) over the U.S. dollar (USD). A cautious stance from the Federal Reserve, global uncertainty driving safe-haven demand for the yen, and stable policy signals from the Bank of Japan are all putting downward pressure on USDJPY. This article provides an in-depth look at the fundamental drivers shaping the USDJPY trend today, offering valuable insights for traders. --- Key Drivers Influencing USDJPY Today 1. Dovish Federal Reserve and Softening U.S. Dollar Recent U.S. economic data, including moderate inflation figures and stable but unspectacular labor market performance, have led the Federal Reserve to signal a possible hold on further rate hikes. This dovish shift is weakening the U.S. dollar, as traders expect the Fed to be cautious in adjusting rates in the near term. A softer dollar environment supports a bearish trend for USDJPY, as it reduces USD appeal against other currencies. 2. Increased Safe-Haven Demand Boosting Yen The Japanese yen is traditionally regarded as a safe-haven currency, attracting investors during times of global economic uncertainty. With ongoing concerns in some international markets, demand for the yen has increased as investors look for stability. This shift in risk sentiment supports a bearish USDJPY outlook, as the yen’s appeal as a secure asset rises. 3. Bank of Japan’s (BoJ) Policy Stability While the Bank of Japan (BoJ) has largely maintained its dovish policy approach, recent signals suggest it may adjust if inflation shows sustainable improvement. Even the slight possibility of a shift has bolstered confidence in the yen. By holding steady and keeping an eye on inflation targets, the BoJ has supported the JPY’s position, which creates additional downward pressure on USDJPY. 4. Technical Indicators Pointing to a Bearish Trend USDJPY is approaching resistance levels that have proven challenging in previous sessions, and the pair is trading below its 50-day moving average, which typically signals a downtrend. Key indicators like the RSI (Relative Strength Index) and MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) are also showing bearish signals, supporting the expectation of a slight bearish bias today. --- Technical Analysis Indicators Supporting a Bearish Outlook Moving Averages and RSI USDJPY is currently trading below its 50-day moving average, indicating that downward momentum is intact. The RSI is trending lower but not yet oversold, which implies that there is room for further downside movement. MACD and Volume Analysis The MACD has produced a bearish crossover, a sign of potential downward continuation. Volume analysis also indicates growing selling interest, aligning with today’s bearish bias for USDJPY. --- Conclusion With a dovish Fed reducing the USD’s appeal, safe-haven demand for the yen, and technical indicators signaling downside potential, USDJPY is expected to maintain a slight bearish bias today. Traders should monitor key economic developments and risk sentiment indicators to gauge further market direction. --- SEO Tags: - #USDJPYforecast - #USDJPYanalysis - #USDJPYtechnicalanalysis - #ForexTradingUSDJPY - #JapaneseYenOutlook - #USDJPYtoday - #USDWeakness - #ForexMarketAnalysis - #USDJPYprediction

The yen continued to lose value as the dollar strengthened The Japanese yen has dropped to its lowest since late July due to the dollar's strength. Concerns about rising US inflation following Trump's election have diminished the likelihood of the Fed’s further rate cuts. However, if the yen's decline continues, the BoJ may consider intervening in the FX rate and could become more inclined to raise interest rates. Reflecting this situation, Japan's five-year government bond yields have reached a 15-year high as the chances of a BoJ rate hike increase. USDJPY sustained its uptrend and advanced to 155.70. The price is approaching the ascending channel’s upper bound, maintaining bullish momentum. If USDJPY breaches the channel’s upper bound, the price could gain upward momentum toward 157.50, the highest since last July. Conversely, if USDJPY fails to hold above EMA21, the price may fall further to 153.10, where EMA78 coincides.

USDJPY: Asian indices bearish and U.S. concernsJapan's Nikkei 225 index closed with a loss of 1.55% on Wednesday, pressured by rising U.S. Treasury yields and the strength of the dollar against the yen (USD/JPY), which gained 0.38% on the session. This movement in the currency market reflects a growing preference for the dollar as a safe haven, driven by expectations of expansionary fiscal policies in the U.S. following the re-election of Donald Trump. Impact of USD/JPY Strength on Asian Markets. The rising USD/JPY, which continues to strengthen against the yen, directly affects Japanese exports, increasing export costs and reducing the competitiveness of Japanese companies in global markets. This is particularly relevant in sectors such as transportation equipment and trade, which suffered the biggest falls on the Tokyo stock exchange amid this volatile exchange rate situation. The US dollar also strengthened against the yen, pushing the USD/JPY to a three-month high. The rise particularly affected Asian markets, which see rising yields and U.S. inflation as key factors that could cause the Federal Reserve to reconsider the pace of monetary easing. The Nikkei 225 was not the only index affected in Asia, as Hong Kong's Hang Seng and other regional indices also recorded declines, reflecting a cautious sentiment in the markets. In parallel, the US dollar futures index strengthened by 0.04% to 105.99, while the Nikkei volatility index showed a decline of 5.38%, suggesting a slight reduction in implied volatility. Looking at the chart, the USDJPY has recovered much of its decline that began on July 11 through mid-September. This recovery has continued, recovering almost its value of 155,018 yen per dollar. It is currently very close to the checkpoint (POC) in the 157,000 yen area. RSI currently stands at 65.77%, so we are currently in a low zone of the long term channel so the extension does not seem to want to advance much further. Given so much current downward pressure, it is possible that the strength of the dollar, the thesis is that in the short term very possibly the Bank of Japan should take measures to control that undervalued yen, since a strong dollar seems to be affecting very negatively the Japanese market, so the target ceiling for Japan should not exceed 158.00 0 yen to avoid further damage to its economy. Influence of Treasury Bonds and Inflation Expectations. U.S. Treasury yields have risen significantly since Donald Trump's re-election, reaching levels not seen since July, driven by expectations of policies that could increase the fiscal deficit through higher spending and tax cuts. This rise in yields puts pressure on stocks as investors recalculate valuations on the prospect of higher long-term interest rates. Deeper deficit spending strangles equity valuations as risk-free rates rise. As the Federal Reserve is expected to maintain its vigilant stance, investors are closely watching upcoming U.S. inflation data to assess potential monetary policy adjustments. Gold and Bitcoin as a Refuge Amid market volatility, gold was up 0.15% on the day, trading around $2,612 an ounce, while Bitcoin recently hit a new all-time high near $90,000 before taking a breather in Wednesday's session, trading around $87,295. Markets have an expectation that bitcoin could reach $120,000 without corrections, especially aided by stimulus from China, which could support this momentum. Trump's proposed policies, which seek to make the United States the largest holder of cryptocurrencies on the planet and thus pay off its national debt with them, turning the country into “the cryptocurrency capital of the world” have generated optimism in the cryptocurrency sector, which anticipates a more flexible and favorable regulatory environment for the development of the digital market. In such a context, major investors such as Warren Buffet accumulate liquid assets by avoiding the stock market. Crude Crude oil for December delivery was up 0.15% at $68.22 per barrel, while gold futures for December delivery were up 0.23% at $2,612.30 per ounce. In currencies, USD/JPY rose 0.28% to 155.03 yen. Conclusion The combination of a strengthening dollar, a weakening yen and rising US Treasury yields has pressured Asian markets, with the Nikkei 225 down. Investors continue to watch USD/JPY and US inflation data, looking for opportunities in safe-haven assets and adjusting strategies ahead of the possible consequences of a more expansionary fiscal environment in the US.

USDJPY Daily Analysis: Slight Bearish Bias Expected Amid Dollar USDJPY Daily Analysis: Slight Bearish Bias Expected Amid Dollar Weakness and Yen Strength 13/11/2024 Introduction The outlook for USDJPY today points toward a slight bearish bias, driven by factors that favor the Japanese yen (JPY) over the U.S. dollar (USD). As recent U.S. economic data moderates expectations for further Federal Reserve rate hikes, and with the yen drawing safe-haven interest, USDJPY could experience downward pressure. This article provides a brief analysis of key drivers influencing USDJPY, offering valuable insights for forex traders. --- Key Drivers Influencing USDJPY Today 1. Weaker U.S. Dollar Amid Dovish Federal Reserve Outlook Recent U.S. economic data, including softer inflation readings and mixed labor market performance, has dampened expectations for additional Federal Reserve rate hikes. With inflation pressures appearing to ease, the Fed may adopt a more cautious approach, reducing the appeal of the USD. A softer dollar generally favors a bearish USDJPY trend, especially as the yen gains safe-haven demand. 2. Potential Yen Strength from Safe-Haven Demand The Japanese yen traditionally serves as a safe-haven currency, attracting demand during periods of global uncertainty. With mixed economic outlooks in major global markets, investor risk aversion has increased, contributing to yen demand. This rise in safe-haven sentiment provides bearish momentum for USDJPY, especially as traders shift toward lower-risk assets. 3. Bank of Japan’s Stable Policy Adds Support for Yen While the Bank of Japan (BoJ) has maintained its dovish monetary stance, recent statements suggest it could adjust its policies if inflation shows sustained improvement. The prospect of a potential policy shift boosts confidence in the yen, supporting a slight bearish trend in USDJPY. The yen’s stability underpins its appeal as an alternative to a softer dollar in today’s market conditions. 4. Technical Indicators Signaling Downward Momentum Technically, USDJPY is approaching resistance levels that have previously capped upward movements. The pair is trading below its 50-day moving average, which often signals a bearish trend. Both the RSI (Relative Strength Index) and MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) show signs of downward pressure, further supporting the bearish bias in USDJPY today. --- Technical Analysis Indicators Supporting a Bearish Outlook Moving Averages and RSI USDJPY remains below its 50-day moving average, a key bearish indicator that suggests continued downward movement. The RSI is trending lower, indicating building selling pressure without reaching oversold conditions, reinforcing a bearish bias. MACD and Volume Trends The MACD is showing a bearish crossover, supporting expectations for further declines. Volume trends reflect an increase in selling activity, aligning with today’s slight bearish outlook for USDJPY. --- Conclusion With U.S. dollar softness, safe-haven demand for the yen, and technical indicators favoring downside potential, USDJPY is expected to maintain a slight bearish bias today. Traders should watch for any significant changes in global risk sentiment and U.S. economic data that could impact the pair’s direction. --- SEO Tags: - #USDJPYforecast - #USDJPYanalysis - #USDJPYtechnicalanalysis - #ForexTradingUSDJPY - #JapaneseYenOutlook - #USDJPYtoday - #USDWeakness - #ForexMarketAnalysis - #USDJPYprediction

USD/JPY: Ready to Break 154.8 and Push to New HighsExpectations around Trump's import tariffs are supporting U.S. bond yields, strengthening the USD and continuing to pressure JPY. The recent depreciation of JPY could lead to potential intervention from the Japanese government, preventing further short-selling ahead of the U.S. consumer inflation data release. Looking at the price chart, the USD/JPY pair has maintained a steady uptrend for an extended period, reflecting the strength of the USD relative to JPY. Recently, the pair has broken through significant resistance levels and continues to set new highs, reinforcing the current bullish trend. In the short term, there is a strong possibility that the pair could break the 154.8 resistance level. This level is currently a key point of resistance, but given the current upward momentum, the price is likely to surpass it and continue rising. An additional factor supporting this potential move is the upward-sloping trendline, which remains intact and indicates that the bullish trend is being sustained. With these factors in mind, it is reasonable to expect the USD/JPY pair to continue its upward trend in the near term, particularly if the 154.8 resistance level is broken. The stable uptrend and solid support from the trendline suggest that the price has the potential to continue rising, opening up opportunities for new highs.

USDJPY View!!(MaceNews) – Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba was re-elected in a rare parliamentary run-off vote on Monday after the ruling coalition lost a majority in the Lower House general election about two weeks ago as many voters, weary of high costs, punished Ishiba’s conservative Liberal Democratic Party for its political funding scandal. Ishiba continues to face the challenge of running a minority government in a hung parliament. He was scheduled to be sworn as Japan’s 103rd prime minister late on Monday.
