Much of my argument is embedded within this picture. The content there speaks for itself. Overall, I withhold a net short position on USDJPY given the technicals for the four hour chart and I think a pull back below this resistance range is in the cards given the technicals.
The conversation on the Japanese yen is as much about the US economy as much as it is about the Japanese economy. This is mainly due to the fact that the Japanese yen acts as a safe haven asset during times of downward volatility, even if that volatility stems from Japan such as the natural and nuclear disasters that rocked the archipelago nation in 2011....
As a risk off safe haven asset, the Japanese yen tends to strengthen during times of volatility. A number of signals suggest this could be a turbulent week for markets. If that is the case, USDJPY short.
The US dollar has rallied significantly during the trading day on Thursday this week, reaching towards the ¥111.50 price level. Resistance range from this level goes all the way to the ¥112 meaning it will be very interesting to see whether or not the market can break out above that 50 pip range. If in fact it does, that could send this market significantly, at...
USDJPY has a number of trends going against it to force price action downwards. Technicals and fundamentals are not on the dollar's side against the yen. Traders can see a number of oscillators and MAs suggesting USDJPY is overbought and due for a reversal. Moreover and probably more impactful are the fundamentals of the global economy which suggest major growth...
Trend trading would indicate via EMAs that we should see some lower levels. Moreover, short-term resistance and short-term support are form a symmetrical triangle and given the steep degree of the angles of the wedge, it seems as though some dramatic fundamentals would be required to force this pattern into either an upside or downside follow through of the wedge....
We've seen a huge risk-off shift in sentiment over the past few trading days stemming back from last Friday that saw many safe haven assets like the Japanese yen strengthen. There's many reasons why this is including ongoing concerns of a global growth slowdown, signals of recession such as the yield curve inversion, and thematic concerns lurking in the background...
With a history of malfunctions and earthquakes investing in this currency is risky and other assets such as bitcoin are a better Store of Value. I expect the yen to bounce on resistance on the way down as the fib levels such as 0.38 act as support turned resistance in the downtrend.
the pair to complete flat corrective wave, labeled (2) and start an impulsive wave towards 108 level.
This pair has been in this descending channel for three years, with one major fall out in 2016, re-entering the highs of the channel Dec 2017, and we're now approaching the higher edge of the channel with either a move lower inside the developing Head and Shoulders pattern, after a move up to 110.5 - 111 or we break out of the channel, for a much bigger move to...
Hello Traders, USDJPY is set to fall as the DXY index falls. However, the technicals for this particular pair tell me that price will continue to move higher. If you choose to take the short side of this trade you may do so on smaller time frame and with a tight stop loss. The goal of the short would be to see price go into the consolidation zone.
In my analysis I see usd yen short where the market touched the outside pitchfork line , as well from here this would be a great Risk to Reward to the TP provided
GbpJpy - Daily. I see a good med-term sell on all JPY pairs for the next few months.

I don't like picking bottoms, however, buyers have stepped up ahead of the 1.08 level. This is a 2-day chart. There are two scenarios I see playing out. 1. This is a large retracement from 100-118 range and we are headed back toward the 118 level. 2. A series of lower lows, lower highs has started and we are heading back toward 100.00 The Key Level I believe...
Still caught in correction? USDJPY possible sell in correction
Fundamentally, looking at global equities, data from the US, Fedspeak and Yellen's comments, USD should be trading much higher. Why isn't it? 1) JPY-positive flows before the end of the Japanese fiscal year 2) 'Uncertainty' of the Trump administration 3) Profit taking at 115.00 - including option defending and strong sell interest However, I view this as...
