USDJPY trade ideas

#USDJPYElliott Wave Structure: The chart indicates the completion of a 5-wave Elliott Wave pattern, with a corrective ABC pattern potentially unfolding. The current price is near the B-wave completion, suggesting that a downward C-wave may follow. Fibonacci Retracement Levels: The price is nearing significant Fibonacci retracement levels (61.8% and 78.6%), which often act as strong resistance areas. This suggests that the price may struggle to push higher, increasing the probability of a downward move. Bearish Momentum: The projected red arrow implies an expectation of bearish momentum, with the price potentially making a lower low after retesting the 78.6% level, indicating a potential selling opportunity. Risk-to-Reward Opportunity: With the price near a resistance zone and clear downside targets indicated, the risk-to-reward ratio could be favorable for a short position, especially if price confirms a reversal at the current levels. This analysis suggests that a short position could be justified based on the technical setup, but as always, risk management and confirmation of signals are essential before entering a trade.

USDJPY | Perspective for the new week | Follow-upAfter an 8-week break from USD/JPY, I’m excited to bring it back to our watchlist as we prepare for next week’s trading! Over the past 9 months, this pair has experienced major shifts—from early-year expectations of Japan's monetary policy changes to the dollar's surge mid-year and the USD/JPY oscillating around the 150 zone in October. Key drivers include Japan's inflation data, with the latest CPI rising 2.5% YoY in September. As market rumours of another intervention grow, what opportunities lie ahead? Let's explore the key levels, trends, and setups for the coming week. USDJPY Technical Analysis: As discussed in the video, the recent upward momentum is showing signs of easing, leaving room for a possible USD pullback. However, for a confirmed uptrend continuation, we need to see sustained trading above 150.000. Our detailed technical analysis focused on the current bullish market structure, with particular attention to the key level of 150.000, set as a pivotal point for the upcoming week. This level gains significance as a potential catalyst for a clear uptrend if buying pressure persists. The market's response to this level at the beginning of the new week will strongly influence the direction of price action in the days ahead. #JapanInflation #USDJPY #Yen #BoJ #FederalReserve #Forex #CurrencyTrading #EconomicAnalysis #MarketAnalysis #Investing #Finance

DeGRAM | USDJPY trend growthUSDJPY is moving in an ascending channel between the trend lines. The price is under the resistance level, to which it reacted with a decline. The chart is moving from the lower trend line and has already touched the upper boundary of the channel. We expect a correction after the retest of the upper trend line. We believe that before that the price may fall to the lower boundary of the channel. ------------------- Share your opinion in the comments and support the idea with like. Thanks for your support!

Alternative Risk Management Strategies (Taboo!)Professional and highly experienced traders who choose to trade without traditional stop-loss orders often adopt alternative risk management strategies that offer a ton of advantages. While this approach may not be suitable for all of you, it can be beneficial for those who have developed strong risk management skills and are capable of effectively managing their positions. I have been trading with a non-mainstream approach for over 10 years and would never, ever... ever go back to using traditional stop losses. My net gains generation did not start moving in the right direction until I made the change. Here are my thoughts, but take note that there ARE emergency stops placed at the portfolio level at key thresholds regardless of individual asset management plans. 1️⃣ Flexibility in Position Sizing: Without a fixed stop-loss level, I have the flexibility to adjust my position sizes based on market conditions and their risk tolerance. This allows me to take advantage of favorable opportunities while limiting exposure during uncertain or volatile periods. Trading small positions within a single trade is the secret to scaling in. 2️⃣ Avoiding Stop Runs: I may prefer not to use traditional stop-loss orders to avoid getting stopped out during short-term market fluctuations or stop runs by large institutional players. By relying on your own risk management techniques, you can maintain control over your positions, especially if you have a well crafted plan to work out of the trade in the event that you are wrong. 3️⃣ Reducing Order Book Impact: Placing visible stop-loss orders can sometimes lead to order book impact, causing market movements that trigger these stops. I may choose alternative risk management methods to avoid contributing to such market moves and getting constantly stopped out regardless of a solid trade idea. 4️⃣ Long-Term Trading Perspective: I often adopt alternative risk management to take a more long-term view of my positions. I have a higher tolerance for short-term drawdowns because I believe in the long-term potential of my trades and I trust my ability to exit them. Having said that, I stick to my drawdown thresholds, which are part of my business plan. My entire portfolio rebalancing actions revolve around managing drawdown. So after trading small relative to equity, this is rule number 2. 5️⃣ Dynamic Risk Management: I can use dynamic risk management techniques, such as trailing stops or scaling out of positions, to protect profits and manage risk effectively. I place trailing in the money stops, take gains prior to target if needed when I spot something fishy and I can reload if I get a price improvement. Every trade... every position within a trade is treated individually too, with its own set of circumstances and conditions. 6️⃣ Selective Stop Placement: Rather than relying on fixed stop-loss levels, I may use critical support/resistance levels, technical indicators or simple sentiment bias to determine exit points, allowing for more selective and informed decisions. 7️⃣ Hedging and Damage Control Strategies: Advanced traders might employ hedging or options strategies to protect against adverse market movements, providing an alternative risk management approach. I use a methodology we call Damage Control, which allows for advanced management of positions and the portfolio as a whole using simple hedging, portfolio level hedging and rebalancing, advanced intra/inter asset hedging, net gains washing and much, much more. Trading without stops requires a deep understanding of risk management and a disciplined trading approach. It is a controversial subject on #fintwit (or is it #finX now) because the mainstream influencers preach stops as if they were the only way to trade. In my case, stop trading at the beginning of my career was the right thing to do as I was learning, but ended up being an impediment rather than an advantage and after having honed my skills over years of experience, I found alternative risk management strategies and a comprehensive business/trading plan the way to success. 10 years of it. 💡

Yen slides as IMF cuts Japan’s growth estimateThe Japanese yen has posted sharp losses on Wednesday. In the European session, USD/JPY is trading at 152.67, up 1.06% at the time of writing. The yen is down 2.1% this week and has plunged 6.3% in October. The International Monetary Fund slashed its 2024 growth forecast for Japan to just 0.3%, down sharply from the 0.7% forecast in June. This is the lowest estimate since 2020, during the Covid-19 pandemic which severely impacted the economy. The IMF highlighted the “fading of a one-off boost” in tourism and disruptions in auto supply chains. Japan’s economy grew 1.7% in 2023, aided by a strong increase in tourism. The IMF said it expects the economy to rebound in 2025 and expand 1.1% as private consumption and wage growth improve, assuming that the Bank of Japan continues to raise rates “toward a neutral setting of about 1.5%.” The BoJ raised interest rates out of negative territory in July to the current rate of 0.25%. The markets are expecting further hikes but the central bank has been very cautious and wants to see evidence of sustainable inflation at 2% before making additional hikes. This has made the BoJ an outlier among major central banks, most of which are in a rate-cutting cycle in response to falling inflation. Japan releases Tokyo Core CPI, a key inflation indicator, on Thursday. The indicator is expected to ease to 1.7% in September, down from 2% in August. The BoJ meets on Oct. 30-31, right after a general election on Oct. 27. The Bank will likely maintain policy settings but the markets will be keeping a close eye on the quarterly projections for inflation and growth. USD/JPY has pushed above several resistance lines today and the next resistance line is 153.19 150.93 and 150.66 are providing support

USD/JPY Strengthens Due to High U.S. Bond YieldsThe technical analysis of USD/JPY on October 23 shows a strong upward trend. Currently, the pair is trading around 152.692 after breaking the 150.489 support level, paving the way for a potential rise to 155. The EMA 34 and 89 lines provide solid support, while the MACD indicator suggests strong upward momentum. A short-term correction may occur before further gains. On the news front, USD/JPY is boosted by high U.S. bond yields and expectations that the Fed will maintain stable rates, while the Bank of Japan continues its loose monetary policy.

USDJPY → Attempting a trend change. Retest 149.0FX:USDJPY is testing range resistance in the rally phase caused by Friday's news - strong NFP report. The fundamental backdrop within the short-to-medium term is set... From the opening of the session a small correction is forming, the aim of which may be a retest of the support or imbalance zone and consolidation of energy before a further breakout. The market structure is locally bullish on the background of the dollar growth. The Japanese authorities are still silent about their actions to strengthen the national currency (either they think about it or don't think about it :) ), so traders are increasing JPY sales in order to buy USD. The first retest of the resistance at 149.4 failed (bounce). Emphasis on 0.5 fibo or 147.2 support from which the growth may resume... Resistance levels: 147.38 Support levels: 147.5, 147.2, 146.15 On the chart there are preconditions for the change of the local trend to a bullish one, the fundamental background is favorable for this. If the bulls will keep the defense above the support and continue to test the resistance with a breakdown target, then in the short-term-senior perspective we can catch the forging of the impulse to 152.0. Rate, share your opinion and questions, let's discuss what's going on with ★ FX:USDJPY ;) Regards R. Linda!
