USD/JPY Pair Slips to 144.440: Are Bullish Opportunities Ahead?The USD/JPY currency pair experienced a decline to around 144.440 during Tuesday’s European session as the US Dollar (USD) remains under pressure. Market participants appear increasingly convinced that the Federal Reserve (Fed) is on track to begin reducing interest rates starting with its September meeting. This sentiment has kept the USD on the back foot, creating downward pressure on the pair.
However, a closer look at the current price action shows that USD/JPY is trading within a key demand zone. Analyzing JPY Futures reveals a notable divergence in positioning between different market players. While retail traders are predominantly bullish on the Yen, positioning data suggests that "smart money" — typically institutional traders and commercials — is heavily bearish. This positioning reflects an inverse pattern in the USD/JPY pair, where smart money is leaning long, and retail traders are skewed short.
Seasonality trends further bolster the case for a potential bullish reversal. Historical data over the past decade suggests that USD/JPY often embarks on a bullish trajectory around this time of year. This seasonal pattern, combined with current market positioning, could pave the way for a strong bullish impulse in the USD against the JPY.
With these factors in mind, traders should keep a close eye on upcoming price action for potential bullish opportunities in the USD/JPY pair.

GBPJPY Confirmed long-term buy opportunity.The GBPJPY pair has recovered the late July sell-off and inserted again back within the 2-year Channel Up and even closed the last 2 weeks above the 1W MA50 (blue trend-line). The latter technically confirmed the bottom and the start of the new Bullish Leg.
The first Bullish Leg of the Channel Up reached the 2.0 Fibonacci extension, the second aimed even higher, so our 218.00 Target towards the peak of the Sine Wave appears to technically be a modest long-term Target.

USDJPY Is Approaching a decent support areaHey Traders, in today's trading session we are monitoring USDJPY for a buying opportunity around 145.500 zone, USDJPY is trading in an uptrend and currently is in a correction phase in which it is approaching the trend at 145.500 support and resistance area.
Trade safe, Joe.
USDJPY Strong buy opportunity long-term.The USDJPY pair has been trading within a long-term Channel Up since the October 17 2022 High. The recent 6-week correction below the 1W MA50 (blue trend-line) is its technical Bearish Leg in order to price new Higher Low.
The pull-back even broke below the 1W MA100 (green trend-line) but recovered as it didn't close a 1W candle below it and now the price action has settled within the 1W MA50 and MA100.
If we do get a 1W candle closing below the MA100, wait for a buy near the bottom of the Channel Up, with the least risky buy being after the 1W MACD makes a Bullish Cross (has confirmed the last 2 major long-term rallies).
If it breaks above the 1W MA50 first though, the 1W MACD will most likely also complete its Bullish Cross earlier, so we will buy nonetheless, even though the reward potential will be less. In either case, our Target is Resistance 1 (as it was on the rally that peaked on the week of November 13 2023) at 161.800.

GBP/JPY pick your side - Because this isn't easyI was asked to do an analysis on GBP/JPY
And It's like trying to get blood out of a stone.
It's premature right now and I just can't see any definitive direction.
By intuition, I would say I am more bullish than bearish.
There is a Potential Falling Flag and a Potential Cup and Handle forming on it and the price definitely needs to go higher to close above.
Then I'll have more leeway for doing a proper analysis.
The target I guess is at 205.86

Does the USD/JPY Bounce Have More to Give? Does the USD/JPY Bounce Have More to Give?
Credit Agricole anticipates a potential rally in USD/JPY this week, hinging on market reactions to Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s upcoming address at Jackson Hole. The bank suggests that traders might need to recalibrate their expectations for Fed rate cuts.
Current market sentiment, as reflected in the CME Group’s FedWatch Tool, shows a 77.5% probability of a 25 basis-point rate cut and a 22.5% chance of a 50 basis-point cut. Goldman Sachs’ chief economist, David Mericle, also aligns with the 25 basis-point outlook for September, downplaying the likelihood of a more aggressive move.
The focus will be on Powell’s speech, scheduled for Friday at 10 a.m. ET. Should Powell strike a less dovish tone than expected, key resistance levels at 150.00 and 152.00 could be tested, with the potential for USD/JPY to surge even higher.
$USDJPY Carry trade unwind to continue? $131-108 targetsFX:USDJPY looks like it's set to fall further here.
Equities took a hit when USDJPY went from 152 to 142. Now you can see that price rallied back up into resistance at 148, rejected it and looks set to fall more unless price can recover that 148 resistance.
I could see another move down into that 131 level, however, there's a possibility that price can fall much more than that.
I could potentially see a move all the way down to 115 -108 before price finds support. Those levels would be a successful retest of the bottoming structure price broke out from. After those levels get tested, then I think USDJPY will enter a long-term bull market.
Let's see how this plays out over the coming months.
