USDJPY Weekly FOREX Forecast: March 10 - 14th In this video, we will analyze USDJPY and JPY Futures. We'll determine the bias for the upcoming week, and look for the best potential setups.
After a long period of weakness in the YEN, the last couple of months have shown a turnaround. By several metrics, the BOJ has the country's economy finding its footing, and looking up. This is reflecting in its currency. It a time of uncertainty, the YEN will and has been outperforming the USD, as investors look to it as the safe haven of choice. This is likely to continue in the next week or so.

Gold Bullish to $1,963- 1H TF (UPDATE)Gold Wave 5 (Major Wave Y) moving perfectly as I called for previously! We're seeing a nice push up towards our ATH target of $2,963 which could possibly hit next week.
Because this is the last 'impulse wave' to the upside (Wave 5), price has been moving slow. But that's the way the Elliott Wave Theory works. Last wave moves slow, in order to trap late buyers & sellers.
Yen Benefits from Dollar's Broad RetreatThe Japanese yen held around 149 per dollar, its strongest in five months, benefiting from the dollar’s decline on a stronger euro and Trump’s tariff policies. His selective tariff exemptions and retaliatory measures weakened the dollar further.
Domestically, BOJ Deputy Governor Shinichi Uchida suggested possible rate hikes if economic projections align but emphasized that Japan’s monetary conditions remain highly accommodative, with only minimal reductions in government bond holdings.
Key resistance is at 152.00, with further levels at 154.90 and 156.00. Support stands at 147.10, followed by 145.80 and 143.00.
Fundamental Market Analysis for March 7, 2025 USDJPYEvent to pay attention to today:
15:30 EET. USD - Non-Farm Employment Change
USDJPY:
The Japanese Yen (JPY) has been strengthening in recent weeks due to the general weakness of the US Dollar (USD), maintaining the USD/JPY pair near its lowest level since early October, which was reached on Thursday.Speculation that the Bank of Japan (BoJ) will continue to raise interest rates has put upward pressure on Japanese government bond (JGB) yields. The narrowing rate differential between Japan and other countries continues to support the low-yielding yen.Meanwhile, uncertainty surrounding US President Donald Trump's trade policy and its impact on global economic growth continues to weigh on investor sentiment, as evidenced by weaker stock market performance. This is another factor supporting the safe-haven yen. However, USD bears seem reluctant to place new bets and prefer to wait for the release of the US Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) report, which in turn limits USD/JPY losses.
Trade recommendation: BUY 147.600, SL 147.000, TP 148.400

Gold - 1H TF (UPDATE)Still keeping an eye out for possible buy's in the short term towards a new ATH at $1,963. Pending LQ sitting at $2,955.
But overall, we're bearish in the mid term so will adapt & also keep an eye out for market structure shifting to bearish. Current market structure is very choppy so I know we a lot of buyers & sellers are getting liquidated around this zone.

Key resistance is at 152.00, with further levels at 154.90 and 156.00. Support stands at 148.60, followed by 147.10 and 145.80.

📰 Fundamental Analysis & Market Drivers
1️⃣ US ISM Services PMI & ADP Jobs Report:
The ISM Services PMI increased to 53.5, signaling stronger services inflation and employment.
However, the ADP Employment Report showed a disappointing 77K jobs, far below the expected 140K, weighing on the USD.
2️⃣ Trump’s Tariffs & USD Weakness:
Trump announced massive tariffs on trade partners, affecting risk sentiment.
While he downplayed negative effects, US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick hinted at potential tariff rollbacks, boosting risk appetite.
This weakened the USD, allowing gold to rise.
3️⃣ Upcoming ECB Decision:
The ECB is expected to cut rates by 25 bps on Thursday, which could further impact market sentiment and gold’s direction.
If the rate cut weakens the EUR, gold could see more upside.
📌 Final Thoughts:
2,920-2,925 remains a key resistance for short-term direction.
A break above 2,934 could signal bullish continuation.
A rejection from current levels could push price back toward 2,846 or lower.
Fundamentals favor gold's strength as the USD weakens due to poor job data and trade uncertainty.
🚀 Key Decision Zone: Watch price action near 2,920-2,925!
USDSJPY continuation of the selling pressure below 152.50Bearish Scenario:
The Japanese Yen (JPY) continues to strengthen against the US Dollar (USD) as expectations for additional Bank of Japan (BoJ) rate hikes gain traction. This has reinforced a bearish sentiment in the USD/JPY pair, which remains aligned with the longer-term downtrend.
From a technical perspective, 152.50 serves as a key resistance level, marking the recent swing high. If an oversold rally occurs and faces rejection at 152.50, the bearish outlook is likely to persist, with downside targets at 149.30, followed by 147.80 and 147.20 over a longer timeframe.
Bullish Scenario:
A confirmed breakout above 152.50, accompanied by a sustained daily close above this level, would negate the bearish bias. This could shift momentum toward the upside, paving the way for further gains, with 154.30 and 155.70 emerging as potential resistance levels.
Conclusion:
The 152.50 level remains the key pivot for determining the next directional move. A rejection from this resistance would reinforce the downtrend, while a breakout above it could signal a bullish reversal. Traders should closely monitor price action around this level for confirmation of the next move.

USDJPY: Consolidating below the uptrend channel!Dear Traders!
Recently, USDJPY has made a strong breakout, completely exiting the uptrend and stabilizing below a new support level, as highlighted on the 1-hour chart. The pair is currently trading around 149.20.
This stability above the new support is driven by U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff policies, which have boosted risk-off sentiment and increased demand for the U.S. Dollar as a safe-haven asset. However, expectations of a BoJ rate hike and concerns over a global trade war continue to support the Japanese Yen, keeping gains limited below the lower boundary of the previous uptrend channel.
USDJPY H4 | Bullish BounceBased on the H4 chart analysis, the price is approaching our buy entry level at 149.29, a pullback support.
Our take profit is set at 151.39, a pullback resistance that aligns close to the 50% Fibonacci retracement.
The stop loss is placed at 148.08, a swing low support.

Gold - 1H TF BULLISHEven though mid term we're bearish on Gold, I still cannot ignore the fact there is a lot of pending LQ on Gold around the ATH. Also, as it's a new month, the new monthly candle requires some liquidity from the upside before it can drop.
On the 1H TF I'll be targeting small zones for buys & once price reaches that zone, I can monitor for any possible rejections back down, or possible further upside. TARGET 1: $2,903📈
Dollar vs. Yen - Long Term Swing Trading Idea - 08-th Jan 25'USDJPY from 20-th Dec' 2024 to 6-th Jan 2025 created A-B-C-D-E formation which is 4-th wave.
Then from 156.25 area till 158.55 created 5 waves and finished the trend.
Our expectations for the next few days are the price to retrace at least 250 pips till zone of 156.00 and there will find support. Long term idea is to reach 153.00 level in period of one month.
EURUSD is at weakest and creating a swing low at levels over 1.0250-1.0300. If EURUSD bounce back to 1.0600 that will confirm the USDJPY trading idea for weaker dollar in next few weeks.
Trading idea parameters are as follows.
Entry: 158.50
Stop 159.50
Target 153.20
