Japanese yen tumbles to five-week low on US-China tariff dealThe Japanese yen has started the week with sharp losses. USD/JPY is trading at 148.18, up 1.9% on the day. Earlier, the yen strengthened to 148.59, its strongest level since April 3. The US and China have reached an agreement to slash tariffs on each other's products for 90 days. This would be a major de-escalation in the bruising tariff war between the world's two largest economies. Under the agreement, the US and China will slash tariffs by 115%, leaving US tariffs on China at 30% and China's tariffs on the US at 10%. The tariff agreement has boosted risk appetite, sending global stock markets higher. The deal has weighed on safe-haven assets like the yen, which is sharply lower on Monday. Gold, another safe-haven, has plunged 3.1% today. In Japan, household spending and wage growth were down in March. Household spending decelerated to 0.4% m/m, down sharply from 3.5% in February. Average Cash Earnings declined to 2.1% y/y, down from a downwardly revised 2.7% a month earlier. There was more bad news as service-sentiment for April eased, reflecting concern over US tariffs. These numbers support the case for the Bank of Japan to continue its wait-and-see stance before raising interest rates. The BoJ wants to see inflation remain sustainable at 2%, which will require higher wage growth and stronger consumer spending. Over the weekend, a host of Fed members made public statements. New York Fed President John Williams and Fed Governor Adriana Kugler both noted that current rate policy was in an appropriate place and suggested patience was needed. This message echoed Fed Chair Powell's remarks at last week's FOMC meeting, when he said the Fed would take a wait-and-see attitude due to the uncertainty over US tariffs. USD/JPY has pushed above resistance at 146.83 and 147.48 and is testing resistance at 148.47. Above, there is resistance at 149.04 146.11 and 145.36 are the next support levels

USDJPY BEARISH SETUP ONFIRMED.?USD/JPY Bearish Scenario Analysis Trend: Downtrend (bearish bias confirmed by lower highs and lower lows on the daily timeframe) Current Price Action: After a failed attempt to sustain above the 148.200 resistance level, USD/JPY has shown rejection patterns such as bearish engulfing candles and increasing selling volume.

Support: 140.100 – Long-term support level; likely to attract strong buying interest or signal a trend exhaustion. Bearish Scenario Setup 1. Entry Zone: Between 147.500 - 147.800 (pullback/retest of broken structure) 2. Stop Loss: Above 148.500 (just beyond the resistance zone to avoid false breakouts) 3. Take Profit Targets: TP1: 143.900 TP2: 141.600 4. Bonus Target (extended move): 140.100 – if selling momentum continues and macro conditions favor JPY strength.

"USDJPY Just Printed a Trap — Smart Money Is In. Are You?"🧠 Smart Money Concepts (SMC) Setup Alert: USDJPY | 15-Min Timeframe We’re spotting a high-probability bullish continuation setup on USDJPY backed by Smart Money logic. Let’s unpack what’s happening: 🧭 1. Liquidity Grab at the Low Notice how price created a false breakdown below prior structure — a classic liquidity hunt. Late sellers got trapped before price snapped back aggressively, triggering a Bullish Break of Structure (BOS). Smart Money needed to grab liquidity before running price higher. Textbook manipulation. 🟩 2. Refined Entry Zone: Discount + Bullish Order Flow Price has now retraced back to a discount zone, entering the premium-to-discount pullback area. Buyers are expected to defend this level, creating the potential for a bullish continuation. This entry is cleanly defined by a buy-side imbalance (light green area) which overlaps with a bullish order block and internal trendline support. 📐 3. Risk-to-Reward (R:R) Setup We’ve got an excellent R:R opportunity here: 🎯 Entry: Near 145.910 ❌ Stop Loss: Just above 146.314 (invalidate bullish bias) ✅ Take Profit Zone: 145.367 (with continuation possible beyond) This gives us roughly a 2.3R setup, highly favorable for swing entries. 🎯 4. Confluence Trendline support holding Bullish BOS confirmed Imbalance filled Liquidity grabbed Order block respected FVG forming structure for propulsion Smart Money is likely to push price back toward internal liquidity highs — and possibly sweep them for a final exit. 📊 Strategy: Wait for bullish engulfing or strong rejection wick from this discount zone to confirm entry. Trail stop as structure develops on lower timeframes. This setup can also be compounded if price forms another internal BOS. ⚠️ Risk Reminder: Don’t chase. Let price come to you. Manage risk at all times. One setup doesn’t define the day — consistency wins. 🧪 Summary: USDJPY is giving Smart Money vibes — from the liquidity grab, clean BOS, internal order block, to an excellent R:R setup. This is the kind of trade where you want to be the hunter, not the prey. 💬 Drop a 🔥 if you caught this move. 📩 Tag a trading buddy who needs to learn SMC. 📊 Stay smart. Trade with purpose.

Risk assets rally amid trade talk developmentsFollowing the agreement between the United States (US) and China to temporarily reduce tariffs, there has been a notable unwinding of safe-haven assets and an increase in demand across risk. Recent developments show the US is preparing to lower levies from 145% to 30%, while China is set to decrease tariffs from 125% to 10%. Safe-haven assets weighed Along with the Swiss franc (CHF) and Spot Gold versus the US dollar (XAU/USD), the Japanese yen (JPY) is on the back foot today. The USD/JPY currency pair is up 2.0% today and has rallied nearly 4.0% on the month, poised to snap a four-month losing streak. USD/JPY bulls to remain on the offensive, targeting ¥149.00? Technically, support remains clear on the monthly scale of USD/JPY at ¥140.31, a base that is complemented by the Relative Strength Index demonstrating signs of rebounding from the 50.00 threshold (and the lower boundary of a falling wedge taken from 86.72 and 56.82). Buyers certainly have room to stretch their legs on the monthly timeframe, with resistance calling for attention at ¥160.20. As long as the unit closes above the ¥148.28 high (9 April) on the daily chart today, this will not only provide support around ¥148.15 to work with but also unlock the door for further upside towards the 200-day simple moving average (SMA) at ¥149.68. This is closely shadowed by another layer of possible resistance between ¥150.99 and ¥150.16, as well as Fibonacci resistance at ¥152.05-¥151.61. If you drill down to the H1 chart, you will note another support that warrants attention at ¥147.43. Should daily price fail to close above ¥148.28, I will closely monitor H1 support from ¥147.43 as another potential floor, with an immediate upside objective at ¥149.00, followed by the 200-day SMA at ¥148.69, as mentioned above.
