USDJPY trade ideas

USD/JPY short: Clash of the TitansHello traders I entered into a short GBP/JPY position last week after the contraction in GBP Industrial, manufacturing production and GDP. The United Kingdom is also struggling with their own version of the Big Beautiful Bill. The difference is of course that there is no Republican Congress there who is willing to throw their constituents under the bus by cutting Medicaid. The technical side of USD/JPY is vanilla but the fundamental side is a whole other enchilada. The sweeping tariffs from Liberation Day MAY become a moot market mover if the Federal Court of Appeals side with the International Trade Court after July 31st. It does not mean that all tariffs will become null and void. My previous IDEA elaborates a little on this. The Israel/Gaza conflict is still simmering and has just been turned up a notch after an American/Palestinian was beaten to death by West bank settlers. Tragic. There is no certainty how Iran may still retaliate against the USA after the nuclear site strikes. The BIG one: President Donald J Trump is finally standing up to Vladimir Putin by announcing the shipment of Patriot missiles to Ukraine. This is a major milestone and turning point for President Trump who was previously under the impression that he can manage Foreign Policy by cozying up to the Russian and North Korean strongmen. Welcome to the real world. Putin, Xi Jinping and Kim Jong Un have been scheming behind your back to support the war against Ukraine. This is the point where the fictional Dutch boy who used his finger to prevent a leaking dike to prevent a flood might be you, President Trump. The safety and security of the entire Western World rests on your shoulders at this precise point in time. If Russia conquers Ukraine, it will only be a matter of time before the next European Sovereign country becomes a target. Should this happen, it will also serve as a proxy for the Chinese invasion of Taiwan. And North Korea invading South Korea. Bit of a stretch but not impossible. Against this background, moving funds into the traditional safe havens of JPY, CHF and Gold make senses and I contend that BTC has joined the list. Super long dated JPY 40Y bonds have also ticked up in anticipation of upcoming elections and conflicting policies. The American people definitely do not have the desire or political will to enter into another war BUT it is maybe time for us to become the International Order Sheriff again. Towards this end, I am finally willing to call you my President and Commander in Chief, DJT. Please be the Titan who does not pick on his own citizens and stand up to the real danger on our planet. Godspeed.

USDJPY Short: Completion of Triple Combination Sub-wave 2Hello everyone! Over in this video, I analyzed the USDJPY and go through how I counted the waves and go through the lower levels sub-wave counts. I believe that USDJPY has completed a triple combination with the Z wave as a 5-wave structure. I talk about how this final wave might not be ideal and propose how the waves might be viewed in a different perspective. However, I believe also that the price is now good enough to short and propose a scaling-in method to short USDJPY. Eventually, I think that USDJPY will go down to the lower trendline and break it. However, we will have to revisit the chart again when it does to see how the waves unfolded and then decide how to trade it. Finally, as always, keep your risk tight and Good luck!

Fundamental analysis: Monday 14 July Despite a little bit of tariff noise, nothing has fundamentally altered my view that 'risk on' trades are viable, particularly short JPY. Although (with the exception of the strong USD, we've seen fairly lackluster movement today). Which I suspect can be put down to the market waiting for Tuesdays US CPI data. I would also attribute today's USD strength to 'positioning' ahead of the release. Regarding the data, it could be very market moving. We are starting to hit the time when 'tariff caused inflation' could show up in the data. This is a situation where anyone 'testing' anticipation trades could set USD orders in both directions a few minutes before the event. Meaning, (for example) a 'buy stop' AUD USD in the event of a below forecast number (USD negative). But also a 'sell stop' AUD USD for the event of a higher than forecast number (USD positive). Setting the orders (roughly) the distance of the 1hr ATR (look back 100). Ideally with a stop loss behind, or close to, the open of the news candle. If an order triggers, immediately delete the other order. If no orders trigger after 90 seconds, delete both orders and reassess. The 'anticipation' strategy is something I've dipped in and out of for a while now. Privately it's been very successful, but the reason I say 'testing' is because I can't endorse it in a live account until each individual has experienced the 'slippage on entry' the strategy occasionally experiences (causing a loss to what looks like a winning trade). As alluded to over the last week or so, I do think 'red flag' US data releases could create 'anticipation trades' moving forward. But, please don't dive in with a live account. Be sure to gather enough 'demo data' to form your own opinion as to if it's a good strategy or not. Regarding post event, catalyst / standard trades. It's complicated. I envision that long term the market will brush aside a high CPI number. But, in the short term, in the event of a high number, a USD long 'catalyst trade' would be very viable. My preference would be for a below forecast number, which would create a 'no-brainer risk on trade', probably USD short but I would compare the momentum of USD JPY to determine which is the best 'short option'. In other news, Canada reports CPI at the same time as the US, I expect the US data to dominate. But the CAD could be used as a tradable currency depending on the outcome of its data. Sentiment for the GBP remains negative, in particular I suspect GBP AUD will continue it's downward trajectory. Finally, the CHF continues to be strong in the face of the 'risk on environment'. Which I can only put down to the article I read a while ago suggesting the SNB GOLD HOLDINGS are benefitting the CHF. It makes sense considering the high price of gold at the moment. It's not a situation i envision will last forever, but, it does mean I would rather short the JPY (or USD) in times of 'risk on'. In times of 'risk off' I'll compare the USD, JPY and CHF against each other. If the CHF is the strongest, I'd feel very confident in a CHF long. Trading is never easy, but it feels particularly complicated at the moment, please feel free to offer thoughts or questions:

USD/JPY sell opportunity approaching?USD/JPY is approaching previous swing high and resistance zone. Bullish closure above the swing high (148.031) could indicate further push up. Failure to close above swing high (bullish candle tapping into it, but only with the wig) and second bearish candle closing below the previous bullish opens sell opportunity. SELL IDEA entry: 147.928 SL: 148.196 TP: 145.970 (around 0.618 Fib retracement) Potential second TP at 145.378 (0.5 Fib retracement). PLEASE NOTE THIS IS ONLY AN IDEA I am not a professional trader, but learning to analyse and looking to share ideas and get feedback.

USDJPY is currently at 147.724, offering a potential sell opport major confirmation support is at 145.00 — this is the key level to watch for trend continuation. As long as price remains below 148.025, the bias remains bearish in the short term. If the price falls to the 145.00–146.00 zone and shows reversal signs, it could become a buy zone. Traders may look to take profit near 146.00 initially, and consider adding to positions on a break of 147.00. The best buy zone lies between 145.00–146.00, ideally after a confirmed bullish reversal pattern appears. USDJPY is currently at 147.724, offering a potential sell opportunity based on technical resistance. The immediate resistance level is at 148.025, which can be used as a stop-loss for the short position. The pair has shown bearish signals near this resistance, suggesting downside momentum. Initial support is seen at 147.00 — a break below this could confirm further bearish continuation. The next support level lies at 146.00, where price may pause or consolidate.

USDJPY| - Bullish Play Within Bearish HTF ContextHTF Overview (4H): Structure is still technically bearish, with buy-side liquidity (BSL) untouched and a major 4H supply OB unmitigated above. Expecting price to seek out that zone before any full reversal. MTF Refinement (30M): Refined structure shows a potential bullish leg forming to push toward the 4H supply. Price is reaching for nearby sell-side liquidity (SSL), acting as inducement. Execution Plan: Waiting for a clean sweep of SSL. Once that occurs and the 30M OB is mitigated, I’ll drop to LTF (1M/5M) to confirm bullish intent with CHoCH or BOS before executing a long. Mindset: Playing the internal bullish wave with precision while respecting higher timeframe narrative. Quick to react if the HTF bias reasserts itself. Bless Trading!

USDJPY 4Hour TF - July 13th, 2025USDJPY 7/13/2025 USDJPY 4Hour Neutral Idea Monthly - Bullish Weekly - Bearish Daily - Bearish 4Hour - Bullish Finally UJ is looking more clear. We’re now able to drop to the 4Hour instead of the Daily TF due to price action reaching a major zone of anticipated reactions. As always we’re looking at two trade scenarios going into the week ahead: Bullish Continuation - UJ is currently sitting at 147.500 resistance and closed there last week. Going into this week we could see the bullish trend continue but we would need to see a clear break of 147.500 resistance to gain confidence. Look for a higher low confirmed above 147.500 followed by strong bullish setups to enter long on. Look to target higher toward major resistance levels like 149.250 area. Bearish Reversal: Despite the strong bullish momentum we saw from last week, a reversal is still possible as price action is near our 147.250 zone. In order to consider bearish setups we would need to see strong rejection from the current level of resistance. Look to target lower toward 145.000 support.
