USD/JPY: 120 looks like the target this year – INGIn the view of economists at ING, USD/JPY should continue to fall throughout the year. They target 120.
The BoJ is back on the map
“The Bank of Japan is now garnering much more focus than it has in years. Most pressing is the replacement of Governor Haruhiko Kuroda, who leaves in April. A successor will be presented to parliament on 10 February. The favourite, Deputy Governor Masayoshi Amamiya, is seen as the dovish continuity candidate.”
“Any surprise choice of the more hawkish Hiroshi Nakaso could probably send the Yen a lot stronger, with pressure building for 10-year JGB yields to burst above their current 0.50% ceiling.”
“USD/JPY has mainly been driven by the weaker Dollar story, but 120 looks like the target this year, helped by the BoJ and lower energy prices.”
USDJPY H4: Bullish outlook seen, further upside above 130.50On the H4 time frame, prices are approaching the support zone at 130.50, in line with the graphical support zone and 50% Fibonacci retracement where a pullback to this zone could present an opportunity to play the bounce to the resistance zone at 134.50. Prices are holding above the Ichimoku cloud, supporting the bullish bisa.
USDJPY potential for bullish rise to previous swing highLooking at the H4 chart, my overall bias for USDJPY is bullish due to the current price being above the Ichimoku cloud, indicating a bullish market. Looking for a pullback buy entry at 130.602, where the overlap support and 23.6% Fibonacci line is. Stop loss will be at 128.082, where the recent swing low is. Take profit will be at 134.772, where the previous swing high is.

💱 USD/JPY Chance For Slow Increases 💱💱 USD/JPY Chance For Slow Increases
💱 Nearest strong support zone: around the 0.236 fibo level of the upward wave.
💱 Nearest strong resistance zone: around recent local lows.
💱 Technical environment:
- Moving averages: Downtrend
- MACD: 50/50
- RSI: Downtrend
💱 Price Action: USD/JPY after Wednesday's upward attack following the BOJ's monetary policy statement, the price very quickly returned to the vicinity of 128 where it stopped in recent days. The stopping of the price at this point is no coincidence and may indicate the possibility of executing an upward correction from current levels. The nearest strong support zone is around 133 where we may find ourselves after a longer accumulation.
💱 The scenario I play is to wait for a formation that confirms the execution of an upward correction. I don't exclude the possibility of changing the scenario if the market situation changes abruptly. I'm aware of the possibility of a correction at any time, this should be taken into account, If the outlook changes I will publish a post with an update, so I encourage you to actively follow the profile and read the description carefully.
💱 Please do not suggest the path I have outlined with lines it is only a hypothetical scenario.
🚀 If you appreciate my work and effort put into this post then I encourage you to leave a like and give a follow on my profile. 🚀
weak JPY is easier to bear than a too-muscular currencyThe Fed’s monetary policy, along with persistent inflation expectations, has pushed the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury yield up to 4%. The Bank of Japan, meanwhile, is continuing to hold the 10-year Japanese government bond yield near zero. The Japanese central bank conducted a bond-buying operation for the second straight day to keep the yield within its implicit range of -0.25% to 0.25%.
The yield gap is prompting investors to invest in dollars rather than yen, exerting strong downward pressure on the Japanese currency.”
In response to this the Bank of Japan (BOJ) decided to maintain its “ultraloose monetary policy” as BOJ Governor Haruhiko Kuroda “highlighted downside risks to the economy and indicated his willingness to accept a weaker yen.”
USDJPY - Scalping pullback to descending parallel channel?After the positive US news yesterday USDJPY broke out of the descending parallel channel it had been in for the past 12 weeks.
I believe DXY is due either a retracement from its current impulse (back to around 107.4 (0.5 fib), or it will indeed completely reverse up based on fundamentals. If this is the case then UJ's breakout will likely become a big move to the upside.
In the very short-term though, I believe UJ will retest the channel (around 250 pips).
It's over-sold and channel breaks normally respond with a retest before continuing the move away, so I'm looking for shorts around 131.500.

USD/JPY is stuck in a range around mid-128,000 waiting US-NFPThe USD/JPY pair oscillates in a constrained range on Friday as it fails to build on the previous day's small recovery from close to the two-week low of 128.00. Spot prices remain stable above mid-128.00s throughout the early European session, oscillating between tepid gains and slight losses.
The US Dollar is seen operating as a tailwind for the USD/JPY pair as it moves higher on the final day of the week and aims to build on its rebound from a nine-month low set on Thursday. The US dollar's increase may be linked to some repositioning trading before the release of the much anticipated US monthly jobs report later in the early North American session. The underlying resilience in the labor market was highlighted by the US Weekly Initial Jobless Claims data issued on Thursday, which raised hopes for robust Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP). As a result, investors were obliged to reassess their predictions for future rate increases by the Fed, which helped to sustain the USD. However, lower US Treasury bond yields limit the amount of profit.
The Bank of Japan (BoJ), on the other hand, is expected to adopt a more hawkish position later this year, which is expected to bolster the Japanese Yen. The Nationwide Core Inflation Rate for Japan, which recorded its highest annualized reading since December 1981, helped to increase the bets. This is considered to be another element that, at least temporarily, restrains the USD/JPY pair.
In the wake of the overnight breach below a symmetrical triangle and before of the important US macro data, bullish traders also appear cautious to place new bets. However, it appears that the USD/JPY pair will experience losses for the first time in three weeks.
USDJPY Potential for Bearish Drop to previous swing lowLooking at the H4 chart, my overall bias for USDJPY is bearish due to the current price being below the Ichimoku cloud, indicating a bearish market. Looking for a pullback sell entry at 129.204, where the overlap resistance is. Stop loss will be at 131.115, where the recent high is. Take profit will be at 127.215, where the previous swing low is.
