More fall ahead?USD/JPY remains under intense selling pressure to trades near 149.50 in Friday's Asian trading. Despite dismal Tokyo CPI and Japan's Retail Trade data, the Japanese Yen stands resilient due to risk aversion. The US Treasury bond yields sell-off weighs heavily on the pair ahead of US PCE data.
In the past, weakness in the Japanese currency has been attributed to the difference between the U.S. and Japanese interest rates as lower rates tend to pressure currencies, while higher rates lift them up. Japan had negative rates for about eight years, keeping it's currency weak compared to the dollar.
Thus, USD/JPY is positively correlated with oil. The pair will usually rise when oil prices are rising and fall when oil prices are falling. Demographic factors, such as Japan's aging population, and the geopolitical rise of China and other East Asian competitors may be underlying, non-economic factors. Researchers have produced papers delineating possible reasons why the Japanese economy sank into prolonged stagnation.
UPDATE ON USDJPY Buy Bias Analysis – May 2025Earlier this week, I maintained a bullish bias on USDJPY after the price reversed from the weekly demand zone at 139.901 on April 21, 2025, supported by bullish seasonality and strong institutional positioning.
However, during the first three days of this week, USDJPY pulled back to around 142.814, moving below the initial point of interest. This short-term bearish move tested sentiment, but price has now reached a daily demand zone, where a bullish indecision candle is currently forming.
This candle signals a potential shift in momentum, suggesting that the bulls may be regaining control. With the seasonal trend, institutional long positions, and a technical support zone aligning, the setup remains valid — only delayed.
The Yen's recent strength, driven by its safe-haven appeal, is likely to fade as the USD begins to assert dominance once again. This sets the stage for a possible continuation of the broader bullish move.
I maintain my buy bias on USDJPY, with a focus on price action confirmation at current levels.
FOLLOW ME FOR WEEKLY BIAS.
Analysis of USD/JPYDuring the European session, USD/JPY recovered its early losses and traded flat near 143.50. After three consecutive days of declines, the US dollar attracted buying interest on Thursday, pushing the pair higher. Against the backdrop of rising safe-haven demand for the Japanese yen and a generally weak US dollar, USD/JPY had fallen to a two-week low. The yen also benefited from upbeat machinery order data, which overshadowed recession concerns and boosted hopes for an economic recovery. This provided support for the Bank of Japan (BOJ) to further raise interest rates. Combined with sustained safe-haven buying, this has kept the yen strong.
In the market, there are no absolutes, and neither upward nor downward trends are set in stone. Therefore, the ability to judge the balance between market gains and losses is your key to success. Let money become our loyal servant.
USDJPY H4 Bullish
Entry: 143.75- 143.30 (around current market or on a slight dip)
Take Profit 1 (TP1): 145.00
Take Profit 2 (TP2) : 146.60
Stop Loss : 142.60
Risk Management:
(Briefly reiterate the importance of risk management.)
Example: Always manage your risk. Never risk more than 1-2% of your trading capital on any single trade. This is a high-probability setup, but markets can be unpredictable.
USDJPY UPDATEUSDJPY has been and is currently trading between $160 and $140 since December 2023.
Optimal buy entry will be at ~$140. Sell entries will be at ~$160.
The buy entry at $140 is justified by the apparent demand at that zone for major buyers. Technically, this is corroborated by the consistent Yellow line on the TDI indicator (1hr TF) trending beneath the 30 line level each time price reaches that level; ~$140. Additionally, validation of a continued upward trend is supported with the recovery of the US Dollar since Pres. Trump has expressed confidence that he is close to making trade deals with a number of trading partners.
ORIGINAL ENTRY PRICE = $140
Extra Buy Entries as of 5.21.2025 = $142 and 1hr tf closure above $144
TP = $155
SL = $137.30
Major Trend Change Ahead !We've been in a prolonged bearish trend, and now we've finally reached a major key level that could potentially signal a trend reversal.
On the 4H timeframe, we're waiting for a retest of the order block to confirm the level's validity.
On the 1H timeframe, we're looking for a Change of Character (ChoCH) in the macro structure to identify the best trade opportunity.

Validation: The setup relies on the price holding the key support zone and bouncing higher, targeting the next major resistance.
⚠️ Considerations
Monitor for bullish candlestick patterns near the entry zone.

Confirm momentum shift with RSI or MACD if using indicators.
JPY Hits 2-Week High as Dollar WeakensThe Japanese yen strengthened to around 143 per dollar on Thursday, its highest in over two weeks, as concerns over the U.S. fiscal outlook pressured the dollar. Fears that Trump’s proposed tax cuts could add over $3 trillion to U.S. debt weighed on investor confidence.
Japan’s Finance Minister Kato said he did not discuss currency levels with Treasury Secretary Bessent at the G7 summit.
Domestically, core machinery orders surged 13% in March, beating expectations of a 1.6% drop, while May PMI data showed continued weakness in both manufacturing and services.
USD/JPY H1 | Bearish downtrend to extend further?USD/JPY is rising towards an overlap resistance and could potentially reverse off this level to drop lower.
Sell entry is at 143.50 which is an overlap resistance.
Stop loss is at 144.50 which is a level that sits above the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement and a swing-high resistance.
Take profit is at 142.35 which is a swing-low support.

USDJPY BULLISH OR BEARISH DETAILED ANALYSISUSDJPY is trading around the 143.00 level, and we’re now closely eyeing a potential breakdown. After a prolonged uptrend driven by policy divergence between the Fed and the BoJ, the pair appears to be losing bullish momentum. Structurally, the pair has formed a lower high, and sellers are starting to step in near resistance. A clean break below the 142.00–141.50 zone could open the path toward my downside target at 135.00.
On the fundamental side, recent data suggests a shift in sentiment. The US dollar is under pressure as markets increasingly price in a Fed pause or even rate cuts by the end of the year, following soft retail sales and labor market figures. Meanwhile, the Japanese yen is gaining ground amid rising speculation that the Bank of Japan could adjust its ultra-loose policy sooner than expected. The BoJ’s recent bond purchase tapering and Governor Ueda's hints at tightening are starting to shift market flows back toward the yen.
Technically, USDJPY is at a critical juncture. The pair is testing a key trendline support that has held for months, but price action is showing signs of exhaustion. Volume is thinning on the rallies, and bearish divergence is visible on multiple indicators, including RSI and MACD. If the pair breaks below the current structure, we could see accelerated downside action toward the 135.00 target, which aligns with previous consolidation zones and fib retracement levels.
This setup offers a strong short opportunity with clear invalidation and solid risk-to-reward potential. The macro narrative is shifting in favor of the yen, and technicals are lining up with this view. I’ll be watching the coming sessions for confirmation of breakdown and potential entries. This could be the start of a broader correction after a strong bullish cycle.
Fundamental Market Analysis for May 22, 2025 USDJPYEvents to pay attention to today:
15:30 EET. USD - Unemployment Claims
16:45 EET. USD - Services PMI
USDJPY:
The Japanese Yen (JPY) demonstrated resilience by rebounding from an early decline during the Asian trading session. This recovery was largely influenced by positive machinery orders data from Japan, which effectively quashed recession fears and significantly bolstered expectations of an economic recovery. This occurred in anticipation of the Bank of Japan (BoJ) potentially raising interest rates again in 2025, which would have been a positive development for the JPY. Furthermore, flight to safety is identified as a contributing factor to the strengthening of the yen.
The proposed tax bill introduced by US President Donald Trump has led to concerns regarding the financial stability of the US government. This, in addition to the resurgence of tensions between the US and China, is exerting downward pressure on global risk sentiment and prompting investors to seek refuge in traditional safe haven assets, including the yen. This, coupled with the prevailing US Dollar (USD) selling bias, has led to the USD/JPY pair reaching a two-week low, approaching the round figure of 143.00 on Thursday.
Trade recommendation: SELL 143.100, SL 143.700, TP 142.350
UJ Could Tumble Back To 140 If Bears Take Expanding RangeToday FX:USDJPY Sellers make a Breakout of the Rising Support of the Expanding Range it's been trading in since the Low that started the range back on April 22nd.
An Expanding Range is typically considered a Continuation Pattern suggesting that if Sellers can hold price under the Rising Support, we can suspect JPY to overcome USD in this pair pulling price down continuing the Downtrend it was in prior to entering the pattern.
Once the Breakout of Consolidation is Validated, a Breakout & Retest of the Rising Support could deliver potential Short Opportunities to take price down to the Low of the Range.
Fundamentally, there is a lot of worry about the fall out of Tariff Talks with important trade partners with the 90-Day grace period soon coming to an end, weakening labor market potentially signaling "Stagflation" and additionally, it is suspected that Trump's Tax Cut Bill could add $3 - $5 Trillion to the $36.2 Trillion debt the US is already suffering from, further harming the Dollar.

USDJPY Long Setup: Triple Confluence Zone Locked InSmart money traders love one thing more than anything — confluence. This BTCUSD setup hits all the marks:
📈 Structure Breakdown:
Market breaks structure to the upside ✅
Impulsive bullish leg breaks prior high ✅
Pullback into 61.8% golden zone + OB ✅
Rejection wick = perfect entry confirmation ✅
This is a high-probability continuation setup after BTC made a clear bullish BOS (Break of Structure) on the M30 timeframe.
🟦 Order Block Zone:
OB Range:
Top: ~106,989
Bottom: ~106,759
This OB was the last down candle before the big bullish impulse that broke structure. Price returned to mitigate here, then instantly rejected = Smart Money entry confirmed 🔒
🧮 Fibonacci Levels:
61.8%: Sliced right into it
70.5% – 79%: Deeper liquidity zone just below
The entry wick taps right into the sweet OB/Fib confluence zone and launches 🚀. It’s giving sniper precision with a low drawdown entry.
🎯 Trade Parameters:
Entry: ~106,759
SL: Below the OB zone
TP: 108,022 (previous high)
That’s an RRR of around 3.5–4.0x — a clean asymmetric play, just the way smart money wants it.
🔍 Confirmation Factors:
Bullish BOS on M30
Price returns to OB zone + golden ratio
Clean rejection candle with demand absorption
No internal structure break = bullish narrative still valid
🧠 Key Lesson:
“When OB meets Fibonacci, don’t ask why. Load up — the market just told you why.”
Let setups like this come to you. No chasing, no emotions. Let the algo-driven footprints guide you to the money.
📈 Missed this one? Save it for your playbook — this is how high-probability trades are built.

USDJPY - Potential Sell (Swing to long term Trade)Hi traders,
This is a repost from my last analysis.
We are still focusing to SELL CMCMARKETS:USDJPY
Price Action Analysis:
Weekly or higher Chart: Price seems to be slowing down and showing signs of turning to the downside. Buyers have tried several times to push up from the 140.0 level, but each time, sellers responded with more selling. It feels like sellers are still holding a lot of CMCMARKETS:USDJPY and are trying to offload it.
Daily Chart: Price has been making new highs, which is actually a good sign for a potential sell-off. We’re watching to see if the daily chart shows signs of giving up. However, price is still in buyer territory, so we’re on standby for now.
Lower time frame Chart: Timing for Entry
Good Luck.
