Potential deeper pullbackFX:USDJPY retraces some of Wednesday’s 0.60% gains on Thursday due to overall US Dollar (USD) weakness amid a risk-off impulse. Worse than expected, fundamental data from Japan’s triggered flows toward safe-haven assets, boosting appetite toward the Japanese Yen (JPY). At the time of writing, the major trades at 150.61, virtually unchanged in the early Asian Friday session. According to the daily chart, the USD/JPY remains upward biased for the long term, but in the short term, the drop below the Tenkan-Sen at 150.92 could open the door for a deeper pullback, and test key support levels. The first support would be the Kijun-Sen at 150.32, before diving to the 150.00 psychological figure. The correction would extend further, once traders clear the latter, with intermediate support seen at the November 3 low of 149.18, before sliding toward the Senkou Span B level at 148.91. On the other hand, if USD/JPY buyers reclaim the Tenkan-Sen at 150.91, that would sponsor a leg-up above the 151.00 mark, opening the door to retesting the year-to-date (YTD) high at 151.91.

USDJPY → Moves on the upward trajectory toward 152.00 levelFX:USDJPY continues to move on the upward trajectory, trading around yearly highs at 151.70 during the European session on Monday. The USD/JPY pair eyes a potential ascent toward the major resistance at the psychological level of 152.00. This could materialize if the strength of the US Dollar (USD) gathers momentum, propelled by higher US Treasury bond yields and the hawkish comments from Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell. The technical indicators paint an interesting picture for the USD/JPY pair. The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) is positioned above the 50 level, indicating upward support. This signals a bullish momentum and reflects a robust market sentiment. With this, there's potential for the pair to advance toward the next barrier at the resistance level of 152.50. Adding to the positive outlook, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) line is situated above the centerline and the signal line in the USD/JPY pair. This configuration suggests a stronger momentum and reflects a prevailing confidence in the market. On the flip side, the USD/JPY pair could meet the support at the 21-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 150.35, followed by the 150.00 psychological level. A decisive break below the latter could push the pair to navigate the area around the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement at 148.40.

USDJPY Take off??USDJPY, the double bottom pattern, might indicate a reversal of the previous downward trend. Traders often use the distance between the lowest low of the pattern and the resistance line to estimate a potential price target. Based on this pattern, and major direction of trend, a projected target of 151 might be feasible. However, it's essential to apply technical analysis and consider other indicators to confirm the pattern and potential price target before making trading decisions.

USD/JPY Daily Analysis - The Pullback has Begun! Fall to 146.000USD/JPY has finally touched the previous high of 152.000 with a strong bull candle that we'll call a Bull Capitulation. Immediately after that price target was hit, we saw a series of bear bars falling to the 30EMA. We have now been above the 30EMA for 69 days and after touching a key price range, have a high probability of falling below down to the bottom of the bull channel at the 145.000-146.000 range. Key Points: 1. We're in a Bull Channel which means we have a better chance of profit longing. 2. Previous High of 152.000 has been touched. 3. Bull Capitulation Candle on Oct 23. 4. DXY Strong Bear Signal Bar of the bottom of the bull channel. 5. JPXY Still at Risk of Bull Reversal, this week's candle may decide. 6. RSI has room to fall and while a weak indicator, supports the previous 5. As always, trade at your own risk, you are responsible for your trades. I hope this analysis was insightful and useful.

USD/JPY 15m Chart Analysis - Long to Retest the 150.175 HighUSD/JPY has been ranging between 148.300 and 149.300 since last week and has failed to break down to the 30EMA on the Daily chart. DXY has failed to break below its Daily 30EMA as well. The USD/JPY price action is currently in the top 1/3rd of the range with the RSI just mid-level leaving room for a move up and out of the range. There is a gap to fill up to the previous high of 150.175. At the very least, I believe we'll see a retest of this level. For this to happen, the Dollar needs a good bounce at the 105.600 level and the Yen remain stagnant or fall. My current analysis of the Yen is it's ready for a pullback to the upside, but that doesn't mean it won't take a quick dip to the downside first before reversing. I think we can find a good entry in this range below the midpoint and look for a breakout at the top of the range. Trade wisely and let us know what you think in the comment section below!

Why USD/JPY bulls should be cautious at these highsUSD/JPY has continued to defy gravity despite the growing threat of verbal (or actual) yen intervention by the MOF/BOJ. Yet the higher and faster it rises, so does the threat of intervention. You can see what impact it had on USD/JPY from the large bearish candle that formed on 23 October 2022, where the initial break above 150 was then met with a swift move lower and subsequent -16.3% decline over the next 2.5 months. However, what has caught our eye today is that recent cycle highs have stalled around the 10 October high, the day a softer-than-expected US inflation report saw the US dollar plunge. There is also a volume node from the choppy price action in October at 147.1, and such HVNs can act as both a magnet to attract prices and also become support/resistance. And given USD/JPY’s recent pattern of breaking key levels and cycle highs before reversing, we’re a little sceptical of bullish breakouts – especially with the growing threat of verbal/actual intervention. Furthermore, the US02Y-JP02Y spread has stalled just beneath its March high, so perhaps USD/JPY is at least due a pullback before it tries to break higher. Either way, we’d prefer to buy dips over breakouts. And as for any potential pullback, we’d prefer to wait for a breakout to become a ‘fakeout’ (where prices move back below the initial breakout level) before shorting against the trend.

USDJPY Analysis 27Aug2023I analyze USDJPY using the D1 time frame so that we can know in general terms the trends that are occurring and the possibilities that could occur in the future. If you look at the series of waves that have occurred, currently there is a correction in wave B with the price forming waves a-b-c-d-e and heading to the QM area. by adding the RSI indicator we can see that the price has entered the saturation area and there is a divergence on the RSI. one of the signs that in the future there will be a reversal.

USDJPYI normally don't trade UJ however for the benefit of those who do, thanks to a friend's request to take a look and share my thoughts, here is what I would normally look for, a break above the 139.134 zone and a retest of same area, will set the pair up for a nice long position. A break below the 137.296 area and its retest, will set the pair up for a short. For now, fingers crossed. I may not give updates on this pair as it is not on my favored trading list ;-) Disclaimer: All trade ideas are given for educational purposes and should not be treated as an investment advice, hence do your due diligence.
