USD/JPY to continue its upward trendThe USD/JPY pair has moved higher on the one-hour timeframe after breaking the 155.83-156.75 resistance range and is now consolidating above this range.
The next technical targets include the 158.95 level (1.272 Fibonacci level) and the 161.76 level (1.618 Fibonacci level). The moving averages and the Ichimoku cloud support the continuation of the uptrend.
The key support range of 155.83-156.75 plays an important role in maintaining the uptrend, and a break of this level could change the trend.
Demand for the US dollar appears to continue to support this move.

usdjpy sellThe USD/JPY trades around 157.70 on Friday. Daily chart analysis indicates a continued bullish trend, with the pair moving upwards within an ascending channel pattern. The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) is just below the 70 level, reinforcing the bullish outlook. A breakout above the 70 mark could signal an overbought condition, which might lead to a potential downward correction for the pair.
The USD/JPY pair could test its monthly high at 158.08, reached on Thursday. A break above this level could support the pair to target the upper boundary of the ascending channel near the 160.30 level.
USD/JPY Analysis: Pair Reaches 5-Month HighUSD/JPY Analysis: Pair Reaches 5-Month High
The Japanese yen remains under pressure, trading near a five-month low against the US dollar. This trend is primarily driven by differences in monetary policy approaches.
On one side, the Federal Reserve maintains a hawkish stance, signalling a gradual slowing of monetary easing in 2025.
On the other, the Bank of Japan continues its cautious approach to policy tightening, as confirmed by a Reuters report published today. Although Japan’s Finance Minister issued warnings this week about potential market interventions, these statements have had little immediate impact.
According to technical analysis of the USD/JPY chart, the pair is trending within a well-defined upward channel (marked in blue) with the following notable developments:
→ In September, the psychological level of 140 yen per dollar served as strong support for bulls, while in December, this shifted to 150 yen per dollar (as indicated by arrows).
→ Since September, price movements have established a steeper upward channel (highlighted in purple).
→ The pair has now reached the median line of the longer-term blue channel, suggesting a potential for more stable trading. This stability may also be supported by reduced trading activity during the holiday season.
The current price action mirrors the conditions seen in summer 2024, when the pair steadily rose toward the critical level of 160 yen per dollar. As we enter early 2025, bulls may once again test this key threshold, seeking to push the pair higher.

USD/JPY – Just One Step Away from a Drop!Dear Traders,
After a notable rally late last week, USD/JPY appears to have lost its momentum. Observations suggest that Wave 5 has completed, paving the way for a potential corrective decline, which aligns perfectly with the classic wave structure.
We can now anticipate a downward correction, likely targeting the 155.95 zone initially. Following this, we might see further bearish consolidation below this level, aiming for the liquidity area around 152.85, a region that buyers have yet to revisit, and is currently taking shape.
Remember, this is just the starting point of our analysis journey. We will provide regular updates so you can stay informed and adjust your strategies accordingly. Stick to the plan and trade carefully!
Fundamental Market Analysis for December 27, 2024 USDJPYThe USD/JPY pair is losing stability near 157.750 during the early Asian session on Friday, following the release of Tokyo Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation data.The Japanese yen (JPY) rose after the data was released. Trading volumes are likely to be low ahead of the New Year holiday next week.
The Statistics Bureau of Japan released data on Friday showing that Tokyo's core CPI rose to 3.0% y/y in December from 2.6% in November, while Tokyo's consumer price index excluding fresh food and energy was 2.4% y/y in December from 2.2% previously. The reading is likely to encourage the Bank of Japan (BoJ) to continue raising the interest rate in January.
Last week, BoJ Governor Kazuo Ueda stated that the central bank anticipates the Japanese economy will move closer to meeting the BoJ's 2 per cent inflation target sustainably next year. Ueda added that the timing and pace of adjustments in the degree of monetary accommodation will depend on future developments in economic activity and prices, as well as financial conditions.
Regarding the US dollar, the anticipation of a reduced number of rate cuts by the US Federal Reserve (Fed) may offer near-term support.The Fed reduced interest rates by a quarter point at its December meeting and has revised its forecast for 2025, predicting just two rate cuts, down from an initial estimate of four.
Trade recommendation: We follow the level of 158.000, if it is fixed above we consider Buy positions, if it bounces back we consider Sell positions.

DYOR, NFA
Japan's corporate service inflation rises, yen steadyThe Japanese yen is showing little movement on Christmas Day. Japanese markets are open but with most global markets closed for the holiday, the currency markets will be very quiet today. In the European session, USD/JPY is trading at 157.29, up 0.08% on the day.
Japanese inflation indicators have been heading higher and the upswing was repeated on Wednesday as Japan's corporate service price index (CSPI) climbed 3.0% in November. This marked a second straight month that CSPI has accelerated, after a 2.9% gain in October.
CSPI measures the price that companies charge each other for services and is a leading indicator of service-sector inflation, which is closely watched by the Bank of Japan. The rise in CSPI supports the case that wages are rising and businesses are passing higher costs to consumers. This increase in demand-driven inflation is exactly what the BoJ wants to see before raising interest rates.
The BoJ has hinted that further rate hikes are coming but hasn't provided any hints about the timing. There were some expectations of a rate hike at last week's meeting but the central bank stayed on the sidelines and Governor Ueda sounded dovish, saying that inflation was increasing "at a moderate rate" and the BoJ could take its time raising rates.
Is Ueda throwing up a smoke screen to keep speculators away when the BoJ is in fact planning a rate hike in the next month or two? Perhaps. Inflation has been trending higher and the yen is falling fast, plunging 9.5% since Oct. 1. The yen pushed past the symbolic 160 level in July and could do so again. If the BoJ is genuinely concerned with the rapid descent of the yen, it will have to consider a rate hike or take more extreme action and intervene in the currency markets to prop up the ailing yen.
There is resistance at 157.41 and 157.66
USD/JPY tested support at 157.15 and 156.90 earlier. Below, there is support at 156.64
USD/JPY calm as BoJ Core CPI risesThe Japanese yen is showing limited movement on Tuesday. In the North American session, USD/JPY is trading at 157.33, up 0.11% on the day at the time of writing.
The yen is having a dreadful time as it continues to lose ground against the strong US dollar. Since Oct. 1, the yen has plunged 9.5% and the yen's woes could force the Bank of Japan to intervene on the currency markets in order to prop up the ailing currency.
The BoJ Core CPI index, which is closely watched by the central bank, rose to 1.7% y/y in November, up from 1.5% in October and above the market estimate or 1.5%. This release follows last week's national headline inflation release, which jumped to 2.9% in November from 2.3% in October. This was the highest level since October 2023. The gain was driven by sharp increases in food and electricity prices. Notably, core CPI, which excludes food, rose from 2.6% to 2.7% and core-core CPI, which excludes food and energy, climbed from 2.3% to 2.4%.
Any way you cut it, inflation is moving higher and that has raised expectations that the Bank of Japan will raise rates in early 2025. The BoJ held rates at last week's meeting and BOJ Governor Ueda said that since underlying inflation was only increasing "at a moderate pace", the BoJ could take its time in raising rates. However, with inflation rising and the yen pushing closer to the 160 level, the BoJ could respond with a rate hike as early as January.
The BoJ is also concerned with the incoming Trump administration, which has pledged to slap tariffs on US trading partners. Bank policy makers will be nervously watching if Trump moves ahead with tariffs or is his bark worse than his bite. The BoJ meets next on Jan.24, a day after Trump is sworn into office.
There is resistance at 157.51 and 157.86
156.93 and 156.58 are the next support levels
USDJPY H1 I Bearish Breakout?Based on the H1 chart analysis, we can see that the price is falling to our sell entry at 157.04, A bearish breakout.

Trend:
The pair is in a downtrend as highlighted on the chart, with key resistance zones being tested.

Pivot highs are aligning with bearish divergences, as seen in areas of DT (Double Top) confirmations.
Pivot lows signal potential reversals near support levels, supported by UT (Upward Trend) signals.
Volume and Risk Metrics:
Volume around Resistance 158 shows diminishing upward momentum, increasing the likelihood of rejection.
Risk Index: 0.01853 indicates manageable risk levels for short trades.
Reward Index: -0.01521 signifies opportunities for improved reward setups on lower timeframes.
PROBABILITY ASSESSMENT
Bearish Scenario:
Rejection from the 153-158 range offers significant downside probability toward 147.77 and 144.18.
Bullish Recovery:
A confirmed breakout above 158.04 with strong volume could invalidate the bearish outlook, targeting 160.00.
FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSIS
Macroeconomic Context:
The Bank of Japan (BoJ) has maintained ultra-loose monetary policies, which contrasts with the U.S. Federal Reserve's higher interest rate stance. This divergence favors dollar strength.
However, seasonal tendencies show that December often has corrective movements due to year-end profit-taking and reduced trading liquidity.
Economic Data:
Upcoming U.S. GDP and BoJ Monetary Policy Minutes could catalyze volatility.
Watch for geopolitical developments impacting the Yen as a safe-haven currency.
Market Sentiment:
Investor sentiment is cautious.
With the chart showing multiple sell zones and exhaustion signals
Traders may wait for confirmation before heavy entries.

Fundamental Market Analysis for December 23, 2024 USDJPYDoubts about the Bank of Japan's rate hike plan and widening yield differential between the US and Japan put pressure on the yen.
Traders are expecting a short-term boost from the US consumer confidence index, which will be released on Monday.
The Japanese yen (JPY) starts the new week on a softer note and remains a short distance from the five-month low reached on Friday against its U.S. counterpart. Doubts over when the Bank of Japan (BoJ) will raise interest rates again have proven to be a key factor weighing on the JPY. In addition, the recent widening of the yield differential between the US and Japan, backed by the Federal Reserve's (BoJ) tightening stance, is undermining the low-yielding JPY.
Added to this, the overall positive tone in equity markets is reducing demand for the safe-haven yen. Meanwhile, strong inflation data released in Japan on Friday left room for a potential BoJ rate hike in January or March. This, along with subdued US Dollar (USD) price action, did not help the USD/JPY pair to realize upside potential in the Asian session in the absence of any fundamental catalyst.
Trade recommendation: Watch the level of 156.00, when fixing below consider Sell positions, when rebounding consider Buy positions.
Bearish drop?USD/JPY is reacting off the pivot which has been identified as a pullback resistance and could drop to the 1st support which aligns with the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement.
Pivot: 157.85
1st Support: 154.75
1st Resistance: 161.80
