USDJPY Short OpportunityPoint and Figure charting is the OG technical analysis method—no fancy candlesticks or bar charts needed. Unlike other charts, Point and Figure ignores time and focuses purely on price action, offering clarity amid market noise.
If candlestick charts look too chaotic for your taste, Point and Figure usually clears things up. Its simplicity is its best feature: fewer patterns and straightforward trade execution rules, compared to the 150+ patterns of Japanese Candlesticks.
On the USDJPY 40-pip/3-box reversal P&F chart, a bear flag pattern is currently being tested and acting as solid resistance. This creates an aggressive but appealing short entry opportunity at 148.80. Below this entry, there are multiple potential profit targets, with T3 (141.60) marking the maximum realistic expectation.
Now, before you get too excited about a single-column collapse from 148.80 down to 141.60—hold your horses. The odds of USDJPY making such a dramatic drop in one swift move are slim to none. But given the current international trade tensions, stranger things have happened.
Think of the area between 148.80 and 141.60 as a zone where it's easier for USDJPY to drift downward rather than grind upward.
CHFJPY rebound on the 1D MA50 expected.The CHFJPY pair is trading within a long-term Descending Triangle and right now is pulling back to test the 1D MA50. This is almost halfway through the rebound that started on the February 28 2025 Support Zone test.
All previous rallies hit at least the 0.786 Fibonacci retracement level before reversing but since this time we are limited below the Lower Highs trend-line of the Descending Triangle, our Target is 172.500.

Behind the Curtain: Macro Indicators That Move the Yen1. Introduction
Japanese Yen Futures (6J), traded on the CME, offer traders a window into one of the world’s most strategically important currencies. The yen is not just Japan’s currency—it’s also a barometer for global risk appetite, a funding vehicle for the carry trade, and a defensive asset when markets turn volatile.
But what truly moves Yen Futures?
While many traders fixate on central bank statements and geopolitical news, machine learning tells us that economic indicators quietly—but consistently—steer price action. In this article, we apply a Random Forest Regressor to reveal the top macroeconomic indicators driving 6J Futures across daily, weekly, and monthly timeframes, helping traders of all styles align their strategies with the deeper economic current.
2. Understanding Yen Futures Contracts
Whether you’re trading institutional size or operating with a retail account, CME Group offers flexible exposure to the Japanese yen through two contracts:
o Standard Japanese Yen Futures (6J):
Contract Size: ¥12,500,000
Tick Size: 0.0000005 = $6.25 per tick
Use Case: Institutional hedging, macro speculation, rate differential trading
o Micro JPY/USD Futures (MJY):
Contract Size: ¥1,250,000
Tick Size: 0.000001 = $1.25 per tick
Use Case: Retail-sized access, position scaling, strategy testing
o Margin Requirements:
6J: Approx. $3,300 per contract
MJY: Approx. $330 per contract
Both products offer deep liquidity and near 24-hour access. Traders use them to express views on interest rate divergence, U.S.-Japan trade dynamics, and global macro shifts—all while adjusting risk through contract size.
3. Daily Timeframe: Top Macro Catalysts
Short-term movements in Yen Futures are heavily influenced by U.S. economic data and its impact on yield spreads and capital flow. Machine learning analysis ranks the following three as the most influential for daily returns:
10-Year Treasury Yield: The most sensitive indicator for the yen. Rising U.S. yields widen the U.S.-Japan rate gap, strengthening the dollar and weakening the yen. Drops in yields could create sharp yen rallies.
U.S. Trade Balance: A narrowing trade deficit can support the USD via improved capital flow outlook, pressuring the yen. A wider deficit may signal weakening demand for USD, providing potential support for yen futures.
Durable Goods Orders: A proxy for economic confidence and future investment. Strong orders suggest economic resilience, which tends to benefit the dollar. Weak numbers may point to a slowdown, prompting defensive yen buying.
4. Weekly Timeframe: Intermediate-Term Indicators
Swing traders and macro tacticians often ride trends formed by mid-cycle economic shifts. On a weekly basis, these indicators matter most:
Fed Funds Rate: As the foundation of U.S. interest rates, this policy tool steers the entire FX complex. Hawkish surprises can pressure yen futures; dovish turns could strengthen the yen as yield differentials narrow.
10-Year Treasury Yield (again): While impactful daily, the weekly trend gives traders a clearer view of long-term investor positioning and bond market sentiment. Sustained moves signal deeper macro shifts.
ISM Manufacturing Employment: This labor-market-linked metric reflects production demand. A drop often precedes softening economic growth, which may boost the yen as traders reduce exposure to riskier assets.
5. Monthly Timeframe: Structural Macro Forces
For position traders and macro investors, longer-term flows into the Japanese yen are shaped by broader inflationary trends, liquidity shifts, and housing demand. Machine learning surfaced the following as top monthly influences on Yen Futures:
PPI: Processed Foods and Feeds: A unique upstream inflation gauge. Rising producer prices—especially in essentials like food—can increase expectations for tightening, influencing global yield differentials. For the yen, which thrives when inflation is low, surging PPI may drive USD demand and weaken the yen.
M2 Money Supply: Reflects monetary liquidity. A sharp increase in M2 may spark inflation fears, sending interest rates—and the dollar—higher, pressuring the yen. Conversely, slower M2 growth can support the yen as global liquidity tightens.
Housing Starts: Serves as a growth thermometer. Robust housing data suggests strong domestic demand in the U.S., favoring the dollar over the yen. Weakness in this sector may support yen strength as traders rotate defensively.
6. Trade Style Alignment with Macro Data
Each indicator resonates differently depending on the trading style and timeframe:
Day Traders: React to real-time changes in 10-Year Yields, Durable Goods Orders, and Trade Balance. These traders seek to capitalize on intraday volatility around economic releases that impact yield spreads and risk appetite.
Swing Traders: Position around Fed Funds Rate changes, weekly shifts in Treasury yields, or deteriorating labor signals such as ISM Employment. Weekly data can establish trends that last multiple sessions, making it ideal for this style.
Position Traders: Monitor PPI, M2, and Housing Starts for broader macro shifts. These traders align their exposure with long-term shifts in capital flow and inflation expectations, often holding positions for weeks or more.
Whatever the style, syncing your trading plan with the data release calendar and macro backdrop can improve timing and conviction.
7. Risk Management
The Japanese yen is a globally respected safe-haven currency, and its volatility often spikes during geopolitical stress or liquidity events. Risk must be managed proactively, especially in leveraged futures products.
8. Conclusion
Japanese Yen Futures are a favorite among global macro traders because they reflect interest rate divergence, risk sentiment, and global liquidity flows. While headlines grab attention, data tells the real story.
Stay tuned for the next installment of the "Behind the Curtain" series, where we continue uncovering what really moves the futures markets.

AUDJPY This Golden Cross is the signal for selling.The AUDJPY pair gave us last time (February 19, see chart below) an excellent sell signal that easily hit our 93.750 Target and bottom of the Bearish Megaphone:
The market is about to complete a 4H Golden Cross and last time it did (January 07 2025), it formed a Top. That was also after a Channel Up that started following an almost -6% decline. Notice how the 1D RSI patterns among the two fractals are similar.
The bearish sequence that followed the previous 4H Golden Cross hit the 1.236 Fibonacci extension. As a result, we expect to see 91.000 by May.

USDJPY DAILY ANALYSISHello traders here is my setup for USDJPY for the week as you can see the price has been on a down trend, and now you can see that the price have done a retracement and it is now on the level of structure that was recently broken and it is likely to act as resistance now I have to wait for confirmations like bearish engulfment then I would look to short the USDJPY.
NP: This is not a financial advice its just my prediction, what do you think?
GBPJPY 1D MA200 rejection. Channel Down sell signal.The GBPJPY pair has been trading within a Channel Down pattern and the recent Bullish Leg got rejected yesterday on the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line). If the 1D RSI closes below its MA trend-line, we will have the ideal sell confirmation signal.
Our Target is the top of the 4-month Support Zone at 188.550.

USD/JPY Analysis: Dollar Weakens After Fed DecisionUSD/JPY Analysis: Dollar Weakens After Fed Decision
Yesterday, the Federal Reserve announced its interest rate decision, which, as expected, remained unchanged. Fed Chair Jerome Powell emphasised that there is no rush to cut rates amid uncertainty surrounding US inflation and the tariff policies implemented by the Trump administration.
This key announcement triggered volatility in financial markets, notably:
→ US stock indices rose;
→ the US dollar weakened, which was evident in currency (and cryptocurrency) charts involving USD pairs.
The most significant movement occurred in the USD/JPY chart, as the Bank of Japan was also active yesterday. While it also left interest rates unchanged, it acknowledged growing uncertainty around Japan’s economy and added a new reference to the "changing trade environment."
Technical Analysis of USD/JPY
As we noted on 21 February when analysing the Japanese yen’s exchange rate against the US dollar:
→ Price fluctuations are forming a downward channel (marked in red).
→ The former support at the lower boundary of the blue channel may now act as resistance.
Since then, the price has:
→ Tested the breakout level (indicated by an arrow) before continuing to decline within the channel, confirming its relevance.
→ Reached the lower boundary of the channel and rebounded upwards from the 147 yen per dollar level.
Given that the price is closely interacting with the channel lines and is currently around its median, it suggests that supply and demand are relatively balanced under these conditions. This is further supported by the fact that neither the Fed nor the Bank of Japan introduced surprises, leaving interest rates unchanged.

USDJPY Channel Down to make an important decision.The USDJPY pair has been trading within a Channel Down pattern since the January 10 High. During that time it technically got rejection upon every 4H MA100 (green trend-line) contact or close contact into a new Bearish Leg.
Three out of those four Bearish Legs have been -3.16% so even if a rejection does happen at the top (Lower Highs trend-line) of the Channel Down, you can still be expecting 145.350 as a Target.
If however the 4H RSI Bullish Divergence on Higher Lows prevails and causes the price to break above the Channel Down, we will accept the small loss on the short and go long instead, targeting the 2.0 Fibonacci extension at 156.000. A lower Target in that scenario can also be Resistance 2 (154.800).

📰🗞️Read the Fundamental, Macro, COT Report, Quantitative Analysis, Intermarket Analysis, Sentimental Outlook before start the plan.
The JP225 (Nikkei 225 Index) is trending downwards due to a combination of economic, market, and geopolitical factors that are creating a bearish environment for Japanese equities. Below is a detailed explanation of the key reasons behind this downward movement.
⭐⚡🌟Weak Corporate Earnings
Many companies within the Nikkei 225, such as major players in the technology and automotive sectors (e.g., Toyota and Sony), have reported disappointing earnings. Growth has slowed to just 2% year-over-year, far below the expected 5%. This weakness in corporate performance is reducing investor confidence and dragging the index lower.
⭐⚡🌟Rising Inflation and Slowing GDP Growth
Japan’s inflation rate has climbed to 2.5%, surpassing the Bank of Japan’s (BoJ) 2% target. This higher inflation is eroding consumer purchasing power, which hurts domestic spending and, in turn, corporate profits. At the same time, Japan’s GDP growth has decelerated to just 0.8% in the latest quarter, signaling a sluggish economy. A slowing economy is a strong bearish signal for the stock market.
⭐⚡🌟Stronger Yen Hurting Exporters
The yen has strengthened to 142.00 against the U.S. dollar. Since the Nikkei 225 is heavily weighted toward export-driven companies, a stronger yen makes Japanese goods more expensive abroad, reducing competitiveness and cutting into profits. This currency movement is a significant factor pushing the index down.
⭐⚡🌟Global Economic Pressures
U.S. Monetary Policy: The U.S. Federal Reserve’s hawkish stance, with interest rates steady at 3.5%, has strengthened the U.S. dollar. This makes Japanese exports less attractive and reduces the yen-denominated earnings of multinational firms in the Nikkei 225.
China’s Slowdown: China, a key trading partner for Japan, is experiencing economic contraction, with its PMI at 49.2. Weak demand from China is hurting Japanese exporters, adding further downward pressure on the index.
⭐⚡🌟Technical Weakness
The Nikkei 225 is trading below its 50-day simple moving average (36,800) and nearing its 200-day simple moving average (35,500). It’s also struggling to hold support at 36,500. These technical indicators suggest a bearish trend, with the potential for further declines if key support levels break.
⭐⚡🌟Negative Market Sentiment
Speculative Traders: Data shows speculative traders have cut their net long positions to 10,000 contracts from 20,000, signaling reduced bullishness. Meanwhile, commercial hedgers have increased net short positions to 30,000 contracts, indicating expectations of lower prices.
Retail Investors and Analysts: Retail investor bullishness has dropped to 40% from 60%, and major analysts (e.g., Nomura) have lowered their year-end targets for the Nikkei 225 to 36,000 from 38,000. This shift reflects growing pessimism.
⭐⚡🌟Geopolitical and Policy Risks
Regional Tensions: Recent missile tests by North Korea (March 5, 2025) have raised security concerns in the region, dampening investor sentiment in Japan.
Bank of Japan Policy: The BoJ has hinted at potential rate hikes in late 2025. Tighter monetary policy could increase borrowing costs and weigh on stock valuations, contributing to the bearish outlook.
⭐⚡🌟Global Risk-Off Sentiment
The S&P 500 has fallen to 5,800, reflecting a broader global shift away from risky assets. At the same time, gold prices have risen to $3,000, signaling increased demand for safe-haven assets. This risk-off mood is spilling over into the Japanese market, pushing the Nikkei 225 lower.
⭐⚡🌟Commitments of Traders (COT) Data
COT data provides insights into futures market positioning for the Nikkei 225.
Speculative Traders:
Net long positions stand at approximately 20,000 contracts, up from 15,000 the previous month. This increase in bullish bets reflects growing confidence among speculators—a strong bullish indicator.
Commercial Hedgers:
Net short positions are at around 25,000 contracts, consistent with typical hedging activity. This stability suggests hedgers see current levels as sustainable—neutral.
Open Interest:
Total contracts reach approximately 50,000, an 8% increase month-over-month. Rising participation indicates growing market momentum—bullish.
Summary: COT data strongly supports a bullish outlook. Speculative long positions and rising open interest signal upward momentum, while hedgers’ steady shorts indicate no imminent sell-off pressure.
⭐⚡🌟Future Trend Prediction
Price projections for the Nikkei 225 across different timeframes.
Short-Term:
Range: 36,800 - 37,500
A breakout above 37,000 toward 37,500 is plausible if trade talk momentum persists. A pullback to 36,800 could occur on profit-taking.
Medium-Term:
Range: 36,500 - 38,000
Breaking resistance at 37,500 could propel the index to 38,000, driven by BOJ policy and trade developments. A drop below 36,500 might test 36,000 if global risks escalate.
Long-Term:
Bullish Target: 39,000 - 40,000
Achievable if the BOJ maintains easing, the yen weakens further, and global growth accelerates—60% probability.
Bearish Target: 34,000 - 35,000
Possible if the BOJ tightens policy, the yen strengthens, or a global recession emerges—40% probability.
📌Keep in mind that these factors can change rapidly, and it's essential to stay up-to-date with market developments and adjust your analysis accordingly.

- The next resistance zone** is marked around 152.000, aligning with a supply area.
- This is also the short-term bullish target, as indicated on the chart.
4. Potential Trade Setup
- If the price holds above the demand zone and breaks the minor resistance at 150.000, bullish momentum could push it toward 152.000.
- A higher low formation** would further confirm bullish continuation.
5. Risk Factors
- A break below the **strong low (148.800–149.000) could invalidate the bullish setup and signal further downside.
Conclusion
USD/JPY is showing signs of a potential bullish reversal. If price respects the support and trendline, it could rally toward 152.000. However, a breakdown below 149.000 would invalidate the bullish bias.
USDJPY - 4H Short Opportunities Amid DowntrendFollowing the sharp fall in FX:USDJPY after PPI and CPI news, we expect further downside, potentially reaching the middle or bottom of the channel. 📉
Each push-up could be a short entry opportunity. Even a strong rise below 158 might be a dead cat bounce and a better short entry point. Stay cautious and strategic! 🔻
AUDJPY Sell signal below the 4H MA50.The AUDJPY pair has been trading within a Bearish Megaphone and is currently going sideways within the 4H MA200 (orange trend-line) and 4H MA50 (blue trend-line). Every time the latter broke to the downside, the pattern started its new Bearish Leg.
Assuming it hits at least the 1.236 Fibonacci extension like the first Bearish Leg, we are looking at a short-term Target of 93.750, if the 4H MA50 breaks.

EURJPY testing its 1D MA50. Buy opportunity even if rejected.The EURJPY pair is about to test its 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) today for the first time since January 31. We are on the 4th day of a strong rebound within a Rectangle pattern.
As you can see, every time the 0.785 Fibonacci retracement level of this Rectangle gets hit, the price reverses shortly after, targeting at least the 0.236 Fib. The bottom is also marked by a 1D RSI test of the 30.00 oversold level.
The rebound that follows, tends to pull-back after a 1D MA50 test, which is the 2nd opportunity to buy for those that missed the bottom. This time it is possible not to hit the 0.236 Fib as the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line) is involved and is the level that caused the January 24 2025, January 07 2025, December 30 2024 and November 15 2024 rejections.
As a result, a fair target would be just below it at 163.250.

Is there life in the old dog yet? Thoughts on Japan...Japan, once known for its high standard of living and expensive prices, has seen a dramatic shift. Today, Japan is often praised by travellers for its affordability, with the Yen weakened by decades of financial repression. While Japan's industrial and infrastructure standards remain high, its citizens are becoming poorer. The average monthly income has fallen sharply from $4,000 in 2012 to just $2,240, putting it on a par with countries such as Spain.
Japan's current economic policies, particularly its refusal to raise interest rates despite inflation remaining above the 2% target for over 31 months, are worrying enough. The Bank of Japan's reluctance to adjust interest rates due to Japan's high level of government debt has kept the key interest rate at just 0.25%. As a result, Japanese savers have turned to foreign currency investments, further weakening the Yen.
Currency depreciation has never led to greater competitiveness or long-term prosperity, and countries such as Argentina and Italy are examples of where such policies have failed to deliver the desired results. In contrast, countries such as Singapore, Norway and Switzerland remain at the top of global income rankings. We could also draw parallels with Germany's own departure from the "hard currency" club, as it and the wider Eurozone follow Japan's economic model.
Questions on my mind:
- Given Japan's current economic environment, how do we view on the long-term stability of the Yen?
- With Japanese wages stagnating, do we see opportunities in Japanese equities or sectors that could benefit from a weaker currency?
- How might Japan's refusal to raise interest rates affect foreign investment in the country over the next few years?
- Do you think the trend of low interest rates and currency depreciation will continue in the Eurozone and how might that affect global markets?
- In a scenario where Japan continues on this economic path, what other regions or emerging markets might offer better investment opportunities in comparison?
