USD/JPY: Bear Wedge and Pin Candle Flash Warning SignsThe ducks may be lining up for a resumption of the USD/JPY downtrend. Firstly, it remains in a defined falling channel. Secondly, Tuesday’s reversal delivered a bearish pin candle, often seen around market tops. Thirdly, the rebound from last week’s lows resembles a bear wedge pattern, warning of a potential downside break and resumption of the bear trend. Momentum indicators aren’t fully on board, with RSI (14) and MACD trending higher, so the case for initiating shorts is not yet a slam dunk. But it should be on the watchlist. A break of the bear wedge would put a retest of 148.65 on the radar, with a move beyond that level opening the door for a possible flush towards 147.10, where buyers were lurking last week. If the price were to keep pushing higher and break channel resistance, the bearish bias would be invalidated. As covered in the attached analysis, when it comes to risks around rates guidance from the Fed and BOJ later today, this scribe sees those for the former skewed towards a slightly more dovish outcome than market pricing, and a more hawkish tone from the BOJ. Good luck! DS

USD/JPY Direction 151 After the BoJ📊 Market Context As of March 18, 2025, the USD/JPY exchange rate stands around 149.38, reaching its highest level since March 5. This movement is driven by expectations regarding upcoming monetary policy decisions from both the Bank of Japan (BoJ) and the U.S. Federal Reserve. 🔍 Technical Analysis The technical analysis of USD/JPY highlights the following key points: Current Trend: USD/JPY shows a moderate recovery, with a 0.49% increase on March 17. Key Resistance: The area between 150.00 and 151.00 represents a significant resistance level. A decisive breakout above this zone could pave the way for further gains. Important Supports: Support levels are found at 148.00 and 146.50. A drop below these levels could indicate a deeper correction. Technical Indicators: Moving averages and key oscillators suggest a short-term bullish trend. 🌍 Fundamental Analysis Several fundamental factors are influencing the USD/JPY exchange rate: BoJ Decision: The Bank of Japan recently raised its key interest rate from 0.25% to 0.5%, citing higher wages and rising inflation. However, for today's meeting, the BoJ is expected to keep rates unchanged while assessing the impact of global trade tensions on the Japanese economy. U.S. Monetary Policy: The Federal Reserve is expected to keep interest rates stable in the upcoming meeting, with the Fed Funds rate projected to remain between 4.25% and 4.5%. Trade Tensions: U.S. trade policies under the Trump administration are creating economic uncertainties, influencing central bank decisions and currency markets. 🎯 Conclusion USD/JPY is currently in a consolidation phase near recent highs. If the BoJ maintains an accommodative monetary policy and the Fed keeps rates stable, the dollar could continue strengthening against the yen, targeting the key resistance level of 151.00. However, uncertainties related to trade tensions and future central bank actions require close monitoring by investors.

BOJ vs Fed: diverging rate paths could weigh on USDJPYThe Bank of Japan is expected to keep rates unchanged tomorrow, but the most likely course of action will be rate increases, potentially reaching 1% by the end of the year from the current 0.5%. The Federal Reserve is also expected to hold rates tomorrow. However, with the US economy showing signs of softness, trade tariffs weighing on consumers, and sentiment at very low levels, the Fed is likely to keep rates steady. If the market gets its way, there could be up to three Fed rate cuts before the end of the year. The combination of strong inflation and high wage growth in Japan versus moderating US economic growth suggests that the dollar-yen pair could continue to trade lower. The short-term trend remains bearish below the swing high of 151.29 from March 3, when rates reached 0.5%. This content is not directed to residents of the EU or UK.

USDJPY Price ActionHello Traders, I've marked a Liquidity Area and another Supply Zone on the chart. Here's what might happen next: after sweeping the liquidity, the price could touch the Supply Zone and then drop. Before acting on this, make sure you switch to either the 5-minute or 15-minute timeframe and clearly mark a Demand Zone there. Wait patiently for the breakout. When the price breaks through that Demand Zone on the lower timeframe, set a pending order. Place your stop-loss at the recent swing high, and set your take profit at the next targeted Liquidity Level. Many traders often wait for Fair Value Gaps (FVG), but this causes them to miss opportunities. Especially if you're struggling to pass trading challenges, give this method a try. Managing your risk carefully is the key to success. Good luck and happy trading! Thank you!

USDJPY MARCH 18 WEEKLY & DAILY BIAS WEEKLY After touching a weekly fvg price started to correct possibly targeting the nearest weekly buyside liquidity to continue going down. Order flow for me is bearish untill it starts forming higher low and higher highs. For now all I see is a correction on the weekly DAILY Daily Bias: BULLISH I think this week will continue to be bullish until the weekly buyside is achieved or there is also a daily order block above that could be targeted and decide from there if it will continue the bearish tone one weekly

USD/JPY Technical Analysis & Trade Outlook – March 16, 2025Current Price: 148.618 EMA (30): 148.545 (short-term trend) EMA (200): 148.286 (long-term trend) Resistance Zone: 149.233 Support Zone: 148.286 Analysis & Price Action: The price is trending upwards, forming higher lows, indicating bullish momentum. The price is above both the 30 EMA and 200 EMA, which suggests an ongoing uptrend. A support level around 148.286 is holding, reinforcing a bullish bias. Forecast & Trade Plan: A potential breakout above the minor resistance could push USD/JPY towards the 149.233 target. If price retraces, a bounce off 148.286 would present a buy opportunity. If price breaks below 148.286, the bullish outlook weakens, and further downside may follow. 📌 Bias: Bullish towards 149.233 📌 Confirmation: Watch price action at support and resistance levels 📌 Risk Management: Consider stop-loss below 148.200 to protect downside.
