First Monthly Analysis – USDJPYThe USDJPY pair ends the month of July with a strong bullish impulse reaching 150.6, a price area that may signal the exhaustion of the uptrend that has dominated throughout the month.
An ongoing ABC harmonic structure is taking shape, with wave A likely completing between 151.36 and 152.00, which aligns with the 0.618 CD retracement — a confluence that reinforces the zone as a key resistance area.
From there, a potential bearish correction (wave B) may develop, targeting the 145.89 region. If this structure plays out correctly, a final bullish expansion (wave C) could aim for the 157.05 area.
Key Zones for the Week:
Projected exhaustion zone (wave A): 151.36 – 152.00
Expected pullback (wave B): 145.89
Final bullish target (wave C): 157.05
⚠️ Disclaimer
The correction of July’s bullish trend may begin before reaching the expected zone (151.36–152.00) due to liquidity buildup beneath current levels. A premature reversal is possible if institutional players decide to hunt that liquidity before continuing the larger move.

Order Setup (Speculative Idea)
Sell Limit Order
Entry (Open): 151.362
Stop Loss (SL): 152.403
Take Profit (TP): 146.210
Risk–Reward Ratio : 4.79

USD/JPY - Potential Targets this WeekDear Friends in Trading,
How I see it,
Let me know if anything is unclear, inputs and questions always welcome.
I don't always have the right answers, but I do share my opinion freely.
Keynotes:
If attempts to fill all imbalances fail and or struggles for a clear
and decisive break above 149.500. Potential for more downside remains high.
NFP produced either a trend reversal igniter or a much-needed correction candle.
I remain bearish on this pair until the Killzone is decisively breached.
Talk of the town remains rate cuts that's very long overdue.
Interesting article to read in this regard:

I sincerely hope my point of view offers a valued insight
Thank you for taking the time study my analysis.
USD/JPY bounced off key support ahead of ISM surveyAfter Friday's weak jobs report and the downward revisions to prior readings, the mood shifted towards the dollar, with markets leaning towards the Fed delivering more than a couple of rate cuts this year. But we have seen a bit of a recovery in the USD since, suggesting investors are either expecting employment to pick up again or inflation to remain sticky amid higher tariffs.
Today’s attention turns to the ISM services report for July, where a modest uptick is expected. Should that materialise, it could give the dollar some further support following Friday’s wobble. We’ll also be hearing from Fed officials Susan Collins and Lisa Cook on Wednesday – and their comments may well shape expectations heading into the autumn.
Ahead of these events, the USD/JPY has bounced off the key support range we highlighted yesterday, between 146.00-147.00 area. A close below this zone would be a bearish outcome, but while it continues to hold we would favour looking for bullish trades than bearish ones. 148.60 then 150.00 are the next key levels to watch on the upside.

0721 Impact of Japanese Senate Elections on Yen Exchange Rate Hello traders,
1. I spent the entire weekend following the Japanese Senate elections, as they will determine the fluctuations of the world's largest financing currency—the yen exchange rate.
★ The results are out, and we are currently in scenario two— the ruling coalition suffered a crushing defeat + Shigeru Ishiba refuses to resign. However, senior figures within the Liberal Democratic Party, such as Taro Aso, have publicly stated that they intend to demand Prime Minister Ishiba's resignation for accountability, increasing the pressure on Ishiba to step down. This means we might see "scenario three"—the USD/JPY exchange rate could potentially break through the 151-155 range.
★ Is this the worst-case scenario? Of course not. The worst-case scenario would be if the "far-right party" that campaigned on the slogan "Japan First" achieved a landslide victory in this election. The most notable winner is a marginal far-right party known as the "Reform Party."
The Reform Party originated from a YouTube channel during the pandemic, which spread conspiracy theories about vaccines and "global elite conspiracies." NHK estimates that the Reform Party will win up to 22 seats, whereas three years ago, they had only 1 seat in the Senate and currently have only 3 seats in the House of Representatives.
✔ Let's take a look at this big winner's political proposals—stricter immigration restrictions + opposition to globalism + opposition to radical gender policies + reassessment of decarbonization and vaccine policies + massive tax cuts + increased social welfare spending. This means Japan may implement more "radical tax cuts" combined with aggressive economic stimulus through quantitative easing, leading to a more severe depreciation of the yen, increasing the likelihood of the USD/JPY exchange rate rising to the 160 range.
★ What are the risks of a sharp depreciation of the yen?
For Asia, the depreciation of the yen typically drags down other Asian currencies collectively, especially under U.S. tariff pressures, where Asian currencies are already under devaluation pressure. A strong depreciation of the yen would mean Japan is taking other Asian countries along with it off a cliff. We need to pay attention to the "passive" depreciation of the renminbi.
Asia will feel the pain, but Europe and the U.S. will also suffer. Theoretically, if the USD/JPY exchange rate surges (indicating a sharp depreciation of the yen), it is very advantageous for arbitrage trading with leverage (because the yen becomes cheaper). However, when the yen experiences a severe depreciation, the situation changes.
Let me give you a classic example: After Shinzo Abe returned to power at the end of 2012, he launched the "three arrows" economic policy: unlimited quantitative easing monetary policy + fiscal stimulus + structural reform = artificially lowering the yen exchange rate to stimulate exports (the clear goal was to increase the USD/JPY exchange rate) = rapid depreciation of the yen (from 80 in 2012 to 125 in 2015).
So what happened then? — A large number of Japanese institutions sold off U.S. bonds, European bonds, and REITs to cash out. The reason is simple:
✔ Japanese financial institutions (such as GPIF, insurance companies, and banks) hold a large amount of dollar/euro assets. When the yen depreciates, the yen-denominated market value of these foreign currency assets skyrockets. Selling off overseas assets is equivalent to cashing out foreign exchange gains in advance.
✔ The proportion of foreign currency assets is too high → must rebalance. Due to the yen depreciation, a large institution that originally allocated 20% of its total assets to foreign currency assets might see that proportion swell to 30% or 40%. This triggers asset allocation restrictions within pension and insurance funds (ALM principles), necessitating the sale of overseas assets and reallocation to yen-denominated assets.
✔ The yen depreciation phase is usually accompanied by an expansion of the U.S.-Japan interest rate differential. If Japanese institutions hedge their dollar assets, the hedging costs become very high (the costs of hedging through FX swaps and forwards rise), so they must also sell off some assets to reduce exposure. Therefore, in 2013, there was a collective sell-off of U.S. and European bonds.
Technically:
Daily chart, there is a possible Crab Harmonic Pattern.
The Crab Harmonic Pattern
From the chart, we can see:
The upward move from A to B is labeled as 0.762, which falls within the Fibonacci ratio range of 0.618-0.786 for the A-B leg of the Crab pattern.
The downward move from B to C is labeled as 0.668, which also falls within the Fibonacci ratio range of 0.382-0.886 for the B-C leg of the Crab pattern.
The upward move from C to D is labeled as 1.112, which corresponds to the Fibonacci ratio range of 1.13-1.272 for the C-D leg of the Crab pattern.
Based on these Fibonacci ratio relationships, we can identify this price action pattern as a typical Crab harmonic pattern. This type of pattern often suggests that the price may be about to reverse.
On the left 4H chart, the broken trendline is suggesting a new possible downtrend to begin .
Make a good use of those support positions, sellers of UJ could find a great trade deal.

UJ| Bullsih Bias | Professional Sweep Forming Off 30M OB (Refined & Structured):
• Pair: USDJPY
• Bias: Bullish
• 4H Overview: After breaking previous highs, price pulled back into a sell-side liquidity (SSL) zone. This move shows signs of exhaustion following the sweep, hinting at bullish continuation.
• 30M Structure: Price took out internal liquidity/SSL and is now reacting from a refined 30-minute order block. Looks like a professional sweep is in play, with refined structure holding.
• Entry Zone: Waiting for further confirmation on the lower timeframes once the market opens.
• Targets: 5M and 30M structural highs depending on how price delivers.
• Mindset Note: This setup is a prime example of letting price come to you. Trusting HTF structure and recognizing the sweep fuels the patience needed to strike on LTF intent.

Lingrid | USDJPY Possible Strong Bullish RallyThe price perfectly fulfilled my previous idea . FX:USDJPY is trading within an upward channel after forming a higher low near the 147.50 zone, bouncing from the support trendline. Price action suggests a bullish structure continuation toward the 150.95 resistance, especially if the recent consolidation breaks higher. The overall formation aligns with a healthy correction phase before a potential push into the resistance area. Confirmation above 148.60 would likely accelerate the bullish move.
📌 Key Levels Buy zone: 147.50–147.25
Sell trigger: Below 147.00
Target: 150.95
Buy trigger: Break above 148.80
⚠️ Risks
Break below 147.50 may shift sentiment bearish
Strong resistance awaits near 150.00
Broader market volatility could invalidate pattern
