USDJPY | Perspective for the new week | Follow-up
Updated
The USDJPY market sentiment is undergoing a captivating transformation, edging from neutral to bearish, with intriguing signs of bullish exhaustion surfacing.
The Japanese currency is on the rise, gaining traction as Bank of Japan (BoJ) comments reveal plans to widen the benchmark 10-year Japanese Government Bonds (JGB) from 0.5% to 1.0%. This move has propelled Japanese yields to their highest levels since 2014, sparking anticipation of a potential pivot by the BoJ. However, the Yen remains vulnerable unless the bank takes decisive action. Currently, there's a prevailing perception that the BoJ's hawkish signals and surging Japanese yields might curtail the pair's gains in the foreseeable future.
As we journey through the US economy's realm, recent developments have dealt a blow to the bulls. The lower-than-expected increase in Nonfarm Payrolls, with a mere 187,000 new jobs reported in the July jobs report, has significantly impacted investor sentiment. The implications of Fitch's downgrade of the United States government's long-term debt rating further add complexity to the picture.
Amidst this intricate landscape, all eyes now turn to the upcoming week, where no high-impact events are expected from Japan's economy. Traders are keenly observing US economic indicators for pivotal signals that could shed light on the likely direction of prices. The BoJ's hawkish stance continues to play a major role in shaping the currency's trajectory.

In this video, we conduct an in-depth technical analysis of the USDJPY chart, carefully examining the current market structure. Our primary focus is within the key zone of 142.000, which will serve as our center of focus ahead of the upcoming week. As price action remains within this zone, it becomes an area of interest that could lead to choppy consolidation before a clear direction emerges. The market's reaction around this area at the beginning of the new week will heavily influence the trajectory of price action in the days to come.

Over the past 24 hours, the price movement has been confined within the range - 143.350 to 142.950, underlining the prevailing uncertainty within the market. Nevertheless, it's important to acknowledge that the upward trend framework remains unbroken, with the price positioned above both ascending trendlines. It's advisable to maintain secure positions while we actively observe the price for two potential scenarios: a continuation of the uptrend upon a breakout/retest of 143.350, or a potential downturn marked by a breakdown/retest of the trendlines.Good Morning

We've witnessed an impressive movement of over 400 pips in our favor across four entries. It's prudent to secure our positions while also keeping an eye out for further buying opportunities, considering that the price is still positioned above the ascending trendline. However, it's crucial to note that the upcoming release of the US consumer price index could significantly impact price movement in either direction. As a result, we should remain cautious about the possibility of a breakdown/retest of the ascending trendline, which might lead to a potential sell-off.Good Morning
