USDJPY Forecast: Insights for the New Week & Follow-Up Analysis

Updated
The BOJ's decision to adopt a more flexible bond yield approach indicates a potential shift away from its ultra-dovish stance. Under this approach, bond yields will be allowed to fluctuate beyond the previous target range. The economic landscape was further impacted by surprising data on Friday, indicating that inflation in Japan's capital exceeded expectations during July, adding an element of complexity to the current situation.

Despite these developments, the outlook for the Yen faced some headwinds due to the release of robust second-quarter U.S. GDP data. The stronger-than-expected economic performance raised expectations that the Federal Reserve will have the necessary economic space to continue its path of raising interest rates. However, this scenario poses challenges for regional currency units, including the Yen.

With no high-impact events expected from Japan's economy in the upcoming week, all eyes are now turned toward the economic indicators from the US economy. Traders will closely be monitoring these indicators for signals that can provide insights into the likely direction of prices.

USDJPY Technical Analysis:
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 141.000 and 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.

Note
Building on the momentum from the previous week, USDJPY has kicked off the new week with a robust impulsive move, breaking out of the 141.150 level. This sets the tone for a potential uptrend continuation. Now, it remains to be seen whether the market will choose to retest the recently broken level as part of an uptrend continuation, or if it will form a trend continuation pattern that could lead to a breakout/retest of the new high at the 141.950 level.

We'll delve into this market structure in-depth during our live session this morning, analyzing the price action and potential scenarios to provide valuable insights for strategic decision-making. Stay tuned for the discussion, as it promises to offer valuable guidance for navigating the USDJPY market in the days ahead.

This structural shift in the USDJPY market suggests the potential start of a retracement or sell-off, and traders are closely monitoring the extent of the potential bearish move. The focus has now shifted to the upcoming ADP employment change data from the US economic docket, which is expected to provide stimulus and further influence market dynamics.

Note
The bearish momentum that caused the initial breakdown of the ascending trendline seems to be losing steam, as buying pressure has been consistently present around the 142.400 zone for the past 19 hours. Given the current situation, we'll be on the lookout for potential buying opportunities upon a breakout/retest of the 142.850 level. On the other hand, we'll only consider selling positions if price action convincingly breaks below the temporary demand zone identified on the 1-hour timeframe.
