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

Updated
In this video, we delve into a comprehensive technical analysis of USDJPY. We examine the impact of recent fundamental factors, including a surge in US unemployment claims, which led to a sell-off in the US Dollar.

The upcoming week is set to witness crucial economic events that will strongly influence the price movements of this currency pair. With indications of a weakening labor market in the US, the release of May's consumer prices index just before the central bank officials' interest rate discussion holds significant importance.

While the Japanese Yen struggles to gain an advantage, investors anticipate that the Bank of Japan (BoJ) Governor Kazuo Ueda will maintain the current policy. Governor Ueda has consistently emphasized the necessity of monetary stimulus to maintain inflation above 2%, primarily through increased wages and robust household demand.

During the video, I detailed the USDJPY's bullish and bearish sentiment, focusing on price action-based technical analysis. We identify key Support and Resistance Levels in the 4-hour timeframe to identify potential trading opportunities. Notably, highlighted a robust demand zone around the 138.800 area that has consistently counteracted selling pressure in recent weeks, indicating the strength of buyers at this level. This zone may play a crucial role in determining the direction of price action in the upcoming week.

The price movement continues to stay within a range, providing us with valuable information about the level of uncertainty in the market at the beginning of the week. We will exercise patience and await a signal, such as a breakout or breakdown of the range, to gain further understanding. We will discuss this topic in-depth during our live session this morning.

In the 15-minute timeframe, a clear reversal pattern has been identified, indicating that if there is a breakout/retest of the neckline around the 139.400 zone, it will present favorable buying opportunities before a final breakout of the weekly key level at the 139.650 to maximize the "potential" bullish move.

The price action retraces to the entry zone and stays within a specific range (139.650 and 139.270), anticipating the release of the consumer price index data from the U.S. economic sector today. Consequently, we need to exercise patience and wait for a signal in the form of either a breakout or breakdown of the market structure, which could present potential trading opportunities.

Note
As anticipated in my previous commentary yesterday, the reversal pattern near the ascending trendline and the 140.300 level has created favorable buying opportunities, resulting in a price action movement of approximately 100 pips. Unfortunately, I was unable to take advantage of this movement due to the specific timeframe it occurred. However, if you were able to capitalize on it, congratulations! I recommend securing your positions as we remain vigilant for new opportunities that may arise today. We will discuss this further during our live session scheduled for this morning.
