Fundamental Market Analysis for July 3, 2025 USDJPYEvent to pay attention to today:
15:30 EET. USD - Non-Farm Employment Change
15:30 EET. USD - Unemployment Rate
15:30 EET. USD - Unemployment Claims
17:00 EET. USD - ISM Services PMI
The Japanese Yen (JPY) traded with a slight positive bias against the bearish US Dollar (USD) during the Asian session on Thursday and remains near the near one-month peak reached earlier this week. Despite the Bank of Japan's (BoJ) hesitation to hike rates, investors seem convinced that the central bank will remain on the path of normalizing monetary policy amid rising inflation in Japan. This is a significant divergence from the stance of other major central banks (including the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed)), which are leaning towards a softer approach, and is favorable for lower JPY yields.
Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump hinted at a possible end to trade talks with Japan, and also threatened new tariffs against Japan over its perceived reluctance to buy American-grown rice. This, along with the overall positive tone towards risk, is a headwind for the safe-haven yen. In addition, traders seem reluctant and prefer to take a wait-and-see approach ahead of today's release of the closely watched US Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) report. The crucial data will play a key role in influencing the US Dollar (USD) and will give a significant boost to the USD/JPY pair.
Trade recommendation: BUY 144.00, SL 143.00, TP 145.40
JPYUSD trade ideas
JPY Steadies, Trade Optimism Counters Dollar WeaknessThe Japanese yen held near 143.7 against the dollar on Thursday, stabilizing after recent losses, supported by improved trade sentiment and a weaker greenback.
Japan reiterated its aim for a fair trade deal with the US, though Trump raised pressure by threatening tariffs up to 35% on Japanese imports over low US rice and car sales. Meanwhile, a finalized US-Vietnam deal added to market optimism.
The yen also found support as investors awaited key US jobs data, which could increase the odds of a Fed rate cut.
Key levels: Resistance at 145.70; support at 143.55.

USDJPU 160PIP BAGED LIVE TRADE Japanese Yen sticks to intraday gains; USD/JPY seems vulnerable near multi-week low
The Japanese Yen retains its positive bias against a bearish US Dollar and currently trades near a three-week low touched during the Asian session earlier this Tuesday. The Bank of Japan's (BoJ) Tankan Survey showed that business confidence at large manufacturers in Japan improved for the first time in two quarters during the April-June period.
Potential Long ScalpUSDJPY tried multiple times to test the bear trend extreme after the 3-Push correction.
It seems like bears can't keep price below the EMA, with gaps getting smaller and smaller at each bear swing.
Now, it's forming sort of a Double Bottom at the bull Trend Line at the end of what seems to be a 2-legged bear move. Chances are that the bears are exhausted and if the current candle closes with a bull body or even a small bear body, there could be a good long scalp.
The problem is that it looks like a Barb Wire too, so any Breakout tend to fail. Still, there could be a good opportunity to enter in second leg after a bullish breakout out of the Double Bottom.
USD JPY ACa possible scenario it should hit for tomorrow .
I'm so lost in this market nothing seem to work .still try to survive. a strategy that works for days or even a month dosent have a guarantee to work for next month ,every thing is like gamble . im trying so hard too many ways too see the holy grail yet till now i can say it with trust there is not a easy peasy holy grail of trading ... be ready to looose and be ready to maybe not to gain anything ,, this trading stuff is like an art as u drown in it it only cuase insanity . right now i gotta go ill use trading view as journal now on to see what im doing good luck have fun trading

USDJPY Poised for Liquidity Grab Ahead of NFP USDJPY is currently undergoing a clear redistribution phase on the 4H chart, having recently broken bullish structure and formed successive lower highs. The first week of July is packed with high-impact economic events from both the US and Japan – most notably speeches from Fed Chair Powell and BOJ Governor Ueda, alongside ADP and Non-Farm Payrolls – all of which could trigger significant volatility and a potential liquidity sweep before a true directional move takes shape.
🎯 Smart Money Concepts (SMC) Flow Analysis
✅ A Break of Structure (BOS) has just occurred following a sharp selloff from the 147.8 supply zone – a bearish structure is now clearly established.
⚠️ Change of Character (ChoCH) near the 145.8 level signals potential institutional involvement and short-term redistribution.
💧 Equal Lows (EQL) around 143.0 and 142.2 suggest prime liquidity targets likely to be swept before any genuine bullish intent emerges.
📈 Price is currently retracing toward the 145.85 – 146.00 short-term supply zone, offering a favourable area for short setups if rejection occurs.
🧠 Trade Scenarios (Planned)
🔻 Priority SELL Setups
SELL at 145.851 – 146.000
SL: 146.351
TP1: 145.351 (+50 pips)
TP2: 144.851 (+100 pips)
TP3: 143.851 (+200 pips)
TP4: Open
This is a fresh supply zone formed post-BOS, ideal for potential short entries upon confirmation.
SELL at 147.750 – 147.950
SL: 148.150
TP1: 147.250 (+50 pips)
TP2: 146.750 (+100 pips)
TP3: 145.750 (+200 pips)
TP4: Open
A key higher timeframe supply zone. If price breaks above 146.3 and rallies further, this is where Smart Money may re-enter shorts.
🔺 Potential BUY Setups Post-Liquidity Sweep
BUY at 143.031 – 142.930
SL: 142.731
TP1: 143.531 (+50 pips)
TP2: 144.031 (+100 pips)
TP3: 145.031 (+200 pips)
TP4: Open
This zone aligns with the trendline and EQL – a possible bounce zone if bullish BOS or strong price rejection appears.
BUY at 142.200 – 142.000
SL: 141.800
TP1: 142.700 (+50 pips)
TP2: 143.200 (+100 pips)
TP3: 144.200 (+200 pips)
TP4: Open
A deeper liquidity pool – likely an institutional entry point if price is flushed prior to NFP data.
📅 Key Upcoming Events – USD/JPY Traders Beware
Tuesday (1 July):
🗣️ Speeches from BOJ Gov Ueda and Fed Chair Powell – high-impact catalysts early in the week.
🧾 ISM Manufacturing PMI, JOLTS Job Openings – insight into the US economy’s momentum.
Wednesday to Thursday (2–3 July):
💼 ADP Employment & Non-Farm Payrolls – major market-moving data to shape USD sentiment.
→ Given the heavy news calendar, it's wise to react to price action at key zones with strong risk management, rather than pre-empt.

30sec TF entry overview
Can PCE data rescue the dollar? JPY, EUR, GBP setup in playThe latest U.S. PCE report is set for release at 8:30am EDT, with both headline and core inflation expected at 0.1% month-on-month.
As the Fed’s preferred inflation measure, today’s figures could influence interest rate expectations. A stronger print may reduce the case for a July rate cut, while a softer result could add pressure on the U.S. dollar.
The dollar has already weakened this week amid speculation over central bank independence (trump is reportedly considering nominating Fed chair Jerome Powell’s successor earlier than normal in order to undermine the current chair).
Pairs to watch include, EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY with symmetrical triangle formations suggesting breakout potential in either direction for all once the data hits.
