• Seasonal trends show a weakening dollar towards year-end, aligning with current selling pressure.
• Reuters and Dow Jones reports emphasize geopolitical influences and Japan’s policy stability driving yen strength.
4. News Highlights:
• Massive $1.4 billion option expiry today, with strikes at 147, 148, and 150, could add volatility.

GOLD FURTHER SELL OFF?! (UPDATE)Price action has been playing PERFECTLY & following the arrows I drew out on the first analysis! Price has been ranging as I expected & currently in the process of creating a 'flat correction' according to my EW Theory strategy.
However, I will be careful as it is a new month so I wouldn't be surprised if price shoots up so the monthly candle can grab liquidity & create a wick. Keeping an eye out for this option.
USD/JPY faces critical next few weeks as it tests 150 handleThe USD/JPY has rebounded after testing a multi-week low near the 149.00 handle on Monday on the on the back of dovish comments from Fed’s Waller, who said he’s inclined to cut rates in December.
However, with the yen being the biggest performer last week, underscoring expectations about a potential rate hike from the Bank of Japan, just as the world’s other central banks are now on the easing path, there is a good chance the USD/JPY could resume lower.
At the time of writing, it was testing a key pivotal area of around 150.00 ahead of critical US economic releases this week. With a jam-packed calendar including the closely watched JOLTS Job Openings report (today), ISM Services PMI, and the monthly Non-Farm Payrolls report to come, traders are bracing for volatility. These data points are expected to influence the USD/JPY, especially with both the Fed and BoJ policy decisions looming in December.
Should the 149.00-149.10 support area give way, the USD/JPY could drop to the next potential support at 147.20, possibly reaching 144.53 thereafter. The bulls will be eyeing a close above the 151.30 resistance level to nullify the bearish bias. While it is trading around the 150.00 area, it is in no-man's land, with a slight bearish tilt.

USD/JPY - H1 - Bearish Flag The USD/JPY pair on the H1 timeframe presents a potential selling opportunity due to a recent downward breakout from a well-defined Bearish Flag pattern. This suggests a shift in momentum towards the downside in the coming Hours.

Fundamental Market Analysis for December 02, 2024 USDJPYThe Japanese yen (JPY) is declining against its U.S. counterpart at the start of a critical week and is pulling back from part of Friday's strong upward move to the highest level since Oct. 21. US Treasury yields are recovering amid US President-elect Donald Trump's reaction to the threat of 100 percent tariffs on BRICS countries. This, in turn, is helping to revitalize demand for the US dollar (USD) and is proving to be a key factor directing flows away from the lower-yielding yen.
In addition, the bullish tone in equity markets further undermines demand for the safe-haven yen. Nevertheless, lingering geopolitical tensions and rising forecasts of another interest rate cut by the Bank of Japan (BoJ) in December should limit larger yen losses. Traders are also advised to refrain from aggressive directional bets and wait for important U.S. macroeconomic data this week, starting with the ISM Manufacturing PMI from this Monday.
Consumer inflation data from Tokyo, the capital of Japan, released on Friday showed that core inflation is picking up and bolstered the case for another rate hike by the Bank of Japan in December.
Also Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda said on Saturday that the next interest rate hike is near as economic data is on track, although he would like to see what kind of momentum the fiscal 2025 Shunto program will create.
Trade recommendation: Trading mainly with Buy orders from the current price level.
UsdJpy could drop 1000 pipsIn my previous post about USD/JPY, I highlighted the potential for JPY strengthening due to repatriation, referencing similar trends observed last year and usually in December
After reaching a high near 157, USD/JPY began to decline and is now testing the critical 150 level. At this point, a technical rebound is possible, but I view it as a selling opportunity. My belief is that repatriation is still in its early stages, and JPY has significant potential for further appreciation.
The 153-154 zone appears to be an ideal area to look for selling opportunities. With a stop placed above the recent high and a target near the 141 support level, a 1:4 risk-to-reward ratio could potentially be achieved.
Could the price bounce from here?USD/JPY is falling towards the pivot which aligns with the 50% Fibonacci retracement and could bounce to the 1st resistance which has been identified as an overlap resistance.
Pivot: 149.33
1st Support: 146.85
1st Resistance: 151.60

discussion about the trend of the #USDJPY in the new week.Friends who are interested, let's start a discussion about the trend of the #dollar in the new week.
As you know, for example: the dollar-yen exchange rate has reached 149.53 from 156.76 units and has decreased by more than 72 pips or 4.61%.
- On the valid 4-hour time frame, the RSI indicator is in the oversold zone
- The chart is in its own good support zone
Regarding the election of Mr. Trump, the stability in the global economy and the expansionary policy, etc., the above exchange rate will not remain at the current number.
For example, we can look for a suitable bottom for a #long position by examining the relevant currency pair (of course, with technical confirmation and appropriate candlesticks.)
#UASJPY: Swing Selling is in progress, Are we heading Bears Era?Dear Traders,
Hopefully, you having a great weekend so far, we have a great opportunity on USDJPY, possible a total bearish meltdown on all the jpy pairs especially with UJ, we are on the verge of collapse. At the moment we expect price to do a small correction before it drops further. At this correction we may expect price to reverse nicely. We expect this idea to be activated by Friday when we will be having a last nfp data of the 2024. Decembers are known for bears control over jpy pairs.
thank you ;)
Yen soars as Japan’s core inflation jumpsThe Japanese yen has surged higher on Friday after a strong inflation release. In the European session, USD/JPY is trading at 150.19, down 0.87% on the day. Earlier, the yen has broken below the symbolic 150 level for the first time since Oct. 21.
Tokyo Core CPI, a key inflation indicator which excludes fresh food and energy, rose 2.2% in November, above market expectations of 2.1% and above the October gain of 1.8%. Tokyo CPI jumped 2.6% in November, blowing past the October reading of 1.8% and the forecast of 1.9%.
The robust inflation data has sent the yen sharply higher as expectations for a December rate hike have climbed. The markets still aren’t sure which way the wind is blowing and have priced a December cut at around 60%. The Bank of Japan won’t win any points for transparency about its rate plans but the BoJ has hinted that its plans to continue raising rates and moving towards normalization. If the BoJ stays on the sidelines next month, it is expected to trim rates in early 2025.
The BoJ has more on its mind than inflation when it comes to rate policy. The yen has been on a miserable slide since early October, although it has shown some strength this week. The BoJ is under pressure to raise rates in order to support the yen, although a quarter-point rate may not provide much of a boost.
If the yen continues to lose ground and moves back towards the 155-160 level, we can expect the Ministry of Finance and the BoJ to warn about a possible currency intervention. This would be a last resort but Tokyo has carried through with interventions when it felt the yen was depreciating too quickly.
USD/JPY has pushed below several support lines today. Currently, there is weak support at 149.89, followed closely by 149.63
152.05 and 152.54 are the next resistance lines
USD/JPY Chart Analysis: Bears Target the 150 Yen per DollarUSD/JPY Chart Analysis: Bears Target the 150 Yen per Dollar Level
Thanksgiving in the U.S. might have been expected to bring calm to financial markets, but Forex trading in Asia tells a different story following the release of Japan's Consumer Price Index (CPI).
According to Forex Factory:
→ Actual = 2.2%
→ Forecast = 2.0%
→ Previous = 1.8%
Signs of sustained inflation growth have spurred currency market participants to buy yen, speculating that the Bank of Japan might raise interest rates. The upcoming December meeting could see rates increased to 0.5%, which would mark the highest level since 2008.
As a result, the yen strengthened by approximately 1% today, hitting its highest level in six weeks and briefly dipping below the psychological level of 150 yen per dollar.
Technical analysis of the USD/JPY chart:
→ The blue upward channel, in place since early October, has lost its strength. A downward trajectory (indicated in red) now appears more relevant on the USD/JPY chart.
→ A bearish breakout below the lower boundary of the blue channel occurred (marked with an arrow) near the 153.7 level. Notably, this level served as support in mid-November. It’s reasonable to assume that bears now hold full control at this level, which could manifest at lower levels—such as the 152 yen per dollar mark, where a local high was established yesterday.
If the psychological level of 150 yen per dollar acts as support, it may only lead to a temporary bounce before a new wave of bearish momentum emerges, as the market anticipates the Bank of Japan's policy meeting.
