Bullish Outlook on USDJPY - 25 AugustOn the H4 timeframe, the pair broke above the upper level of a descending channel, and is encroaching towards the previous high at 146.500. With this break to the upside, price elevation beyond this level would be our upside confirmation to the next high at 148.800. This also coincides with our 27.2% fibonnaci retracement levels. The pair is also above the ichimoku cloud, supporting our bullish bias.

Bearish divergence for EUR/JPYEURONEXT:EUR / $JPY has started the year at the yearly pivot point. After 9 months, it is flying around the second yearly resistance. The price has started to stall at the monthly resistance point and RSI shows bearish divergence. If we break this resistance, I don't expect the price to break the second yearly pivotal point.

EURJPY: Consolidation & Complete Indecision 🇪🇺🇯🇵
EURJPY is currently trading within a narrow horizontal range on a daily.
Depending on the side of a breakout, I see 2 potential scenarios.
Bullish Scenario
If the price breaks and closes above 159.5 resistance on a daliy,
I will expect a bullish movement at least to 160.5 level.
Bearish Scenario
If the market violates 157.4 support and closes below that,
a bearish movement will be anticipated to 156.1 level.
As always, breakout is the best confirmation,
so wait patiently for that.

Gold, Yen, Dollar to Hang on Powell's Words at Jackson Hole With treasury yields hovering close to their highest point in the past 15 years, attention is squarely focused on the forthcoming policy speech by Fed Chair Jay Powell this Friday at the Jackson Hole event. The primary interest lies in gauging the current level of hawkishness exhibited by the Federal Reserve.
Anticipations are that Fed Chair Jay Powell will reiterate the sentiment expressed during the July policy meeting, emphasizing the persistence of elevated inflation and the Fed's unwavering commitment to restoring inflation to the central bank's targeted 2%. Naturally, the subtleties within his communication will hold the real significance.
Will his indications suggest that the Fed draws encouragement from the recent series of more moderate inflation metrics, potentially signaling an upcoming prolonged pause in the Fed's actions? Alternatively, will he lay the groundwork for another one or even two additional interest rate hikes? The latter scenario could potentially result in a further strengthening of the US dollar and the continued weakness of gold. XAU/USD finds itself trading below all its moving averages, with the 200-day Simple Moving Average consistently rebuffing any attempts at upward advancement.
Two currencies that warrant close observation for potential intervention are the Japanese yen and the Chinese yuan. Market analysts presently perceive the intervention threshold for the yen to be around 150 against the dollar, while indications point to ongoing intervention efforts concerning the yuan. According to Reuters, state-owned Chinese banks were observed actively supporting the offshore yuan on Monday.

Intervention - Fatal Flaw in Capital Markets?In the news today is the Japanese Yen, as it approaches critical resistance at the 146 level. The market has steadily been making new highs on the daily level this year, having just exceeded the July high. As seen in the chart above the market has moved quickly through levels of resistance, now breaking a downtrend line from the major Oct 22' high. See below a quarterly chart, the Yen is making new highs at significant timescales, possibly threatening a breakout as the historical ceiling is much higher than the modern perception might lead one to believe.
The need for intervention around the current price level has become a concern for the global investment community, since in September and October the Bank of Japan proceeded with heavy selling of US Dollars to support their currency at the 145 level. This was last reached in 1998, at the height of the infamous Nikkei bubble as equity market growth produced historic inflation. However there was no need, or thought for intervention then which begs the question of why it is seen as a necessity now.
This is largely due to the degradation of credit markets around the globe, and the inability of central banks to produce productive inflation, meaning real economic growth. In 1998 the yield for a 10 year bond was around 2%, whereas outside the US negative interest rates have become common. See below as the yield for 10-year Japanese Government bonds has pushed against, and exceeded the imposed 'ceiling' since moving from negative interest rates.
The attempts by central banks to "stimulate" investment by lowering bond yields has in fact had the opposite effect, since investors will naturally seek the highest return on investment .
In the modern economyc, bonds and government credit are treated as cash, so as central banks buy sovereign debt they are absorbing and concentrating capital which historically has circulated globally across currency and asset classes. This has the effect of domestically creating deflation, as capital is less free to circulate, but internationally will create inflation as (in this case) investors are not buying Yen-denominated debt , leading to the Yen losing strength in FX-markets.
So the level at which intervention is required to support currencies is slowly being drawn lower, as the Bank of Japan burns the candle at both ends. It is NOT possible in globalised, open markets to engage in both bond market and FX market intervention as one or the other must reflect the degradation of economic conditions. This issue cannot be resolved domestically as international capital dictates growth, and lowering yields is not a means to attract investment.
The Bank of Japan has resolved to loosen control on bond markets, by allowing 10- year yields to settle on a market-determined fair price. However, price discovery has not been a relevant dynamic in credit markets for nearly 30 years. With FX already at critical levels, it is important to be wary of volatility as capital flows shift with respect to war, credit and equity bubbles around the world and so on. Europe and China, among others should also be under the radar for engaging in this flawed logic without international support for their currency. So long as the United States, backed by foreign reserves of US dollars, pushes the bill on interest rates this intense pressure will continue to be reflected in global financial markets.

Will the BoJ intervene...The USDJPY trades with choppy price action between the 145 and 146 price range.
With increasing comments about the weakness of the Yen and the possible invention from the BoJ, the longer the USDJPY stays at this price level, the higher chance we are likely to see an intervention.
However, we cannot rule out a continuation of the upside, especially if the DXY recovers in strength.
I would avoid further trades to the upside, and wait for possible counter trend reversal. But speculative counter-trends setups have a higher likelihood of failing (the trend is your friend)
USDJPYWhile market sentiment is bearish I'm not bearish at the moment! If you have open long position it's good idea to close some of it.
If don't a very low-risk short option could be an option for those who believe confirmation in LTF could do a miracle!
If you prefer more suitable place to enter the market, just like me, wait for a breakout upper of 145.000 or lower than 141.200
GBPJPY: Key Levels & Technical Outlook 🇬🇧🇯🇵
Here is my latest structure analysis for GBPJPY.
Resistance 1: 183.77 - 184.25 area
Support 1: 181.10 - 181.30 area
Support 2: 180.44 - 180.71 area
Support 3: 176.30 - 177.05 area
The market is currently approaching the Resistance 1 based on the year's high.
Its bullish breakout - daily candle close above will push the prices much higher.
Alternatively, a bearish breakout of Support 1 may trigger a correctional movement.

Yen's Resilience Challenged: What's Next for USD/JPY? The Yen's struggle against the US Dollar persists this week, as the USDJPY settles above 143.00 and reaches a new high for the third consecutive day. After some sideways trading, traders are now resuming a bullish push aimed at reaching the recent high of 143.9000, followed by potential targets at 144.00 and 145.050.
Last week, the Bank of Japan (BoJ) surprised the markets by making a slight adjustment to the Yield Curve Control (YCC) policy. While this adjustment might have been relatively small, it has kept market participants alert to the possibility of FX intervention if the Yen continues to weaken. In this context, the 50-day MA at 141.430 could offer immediate support.
The most significant event to watch on the calendar is tomorrow's US Consumer Price Index (CPI) release. A CPI figure lower than anticipated could put pressure on the USD/JPY pair, whereas a higher reading could renew interest in levels above 145.000. However, the potential for BoJ intervention remains a concern for traders operating above this threshold.

GBPJPY: Breakout, Retest, Down...In my recent ideas I’ve noted JPY strength resuming and this is evident in the performance last week, and we can see this when looking at the JPYWCU chart which is like DXY for the Yen. We can see what could be a higher low forming and a fourth retest of the resistance around 0.005350 which could break.
We’ve seen out-performance of the Yen against many crosses in the past week, which has generated good pips, it’s too early to suggest a strong recovery (especially as BoJ clearly want a weaker currency to support exports), however they have an economy that when recessions start to hit, I believe they’ll fair better.
All crosses against yens are at their high points, this doesn’t mean they can’t go higher, but money flows and I believe the shift is starting.
I’m expecting GBP weakness over the coming weeks due to high inflation and massive threat of recession, and definitely this week against the Yen, so looking for shorts around 181.4.
First target will be 167 area.
USD/CNYFX_IDC:USDCNY Price is at a tough spot and I should wait to make a guess. Price could break out of the triangle and retest the resistance zone(I didn't mark it but it will be the last high)before it shoots up -OR it will come back down to the daily support and continue in the range. All I can say for now is that I'm watching to see if a "death cross" will form from the 200 ema and the 20 ema.
