Yen Benefits from Dollar's Broad RetreatThe Japanese yen held around 149 per dollar, its strongest in five months, benefiting from the dollar’s decline on a stronger euro and Trump’s tariff policies. His selective tariff exemptions and retaliatory measures weakened the dollar further. Domestically, BOJ Deputy Governor Shinichi Uchida suggested possible rate hikes if economic projections align but emphasized that Japan’s monetary conditions remain highly accommodative, with only minimal reductions in government bond holdings. Key resistance is at 152.00, with further levels at 154.90 and 156.00. Support stands at 147.10, followed by 145.80 and 143.00.

USDJPY 4000K PROFITS CLOSING FOR NFP LIVE TRADE UPDATEMonetary Policy Divergence: The Bank of Japan (BOJ) and the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) have different monetary policy stances. If the BOJ moves towards tightening (raising interest rates) while the Fed potentially eases (lowering rates), this can strengthen the Japanese yen (JPY) and weaken the USD/JPY pair.   Specifically, increased speculation regarding the BOJ ending its ultra-loose monetary policy and raising rates has put pressure on the USD/JPY pair.

Fundamental Market Analysis for March 7, 2025 USDJPYEvent to pay attention to today: 15:30 EET. USD - Non-Farm Employment Change USDJPY: The Japanese Yen (JPY) has been strengthening in recent weeks due to the general weakness of the US Dollar (USD), maintaining the USD/JPY pair near its lowest level since early October, which was reached on Thursday.Speculation that the Bank of Japan (BoJ) will continue to raise interest rates has put upward pressure on Japanese government bond (JGB) yields. The narrowing rate differential between Japan and other countries continues to support the low-yielding yen.Meanwhile, uncertainty surrounding US President Donald Trump's trade policy and its impact on global economic growth continues to weigh on investor sentiment, as evidenced by weaker stock market performance. This is another factor supporting the safe-haven yen. However, USD bears seem reluctant to place new bets and prefer to wait for the release of the US Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) report, which in turn limits USD/JPY losses. Trade recommendation: BUY 147.600, SL 147.000, TP 148.400

USDJPY...Continues to decline....Based on the analysis of USDJPY's technical setup, here's a structured trade plan: --- ### *USDJPY Short Trade Plan* *Trigger:* Consolidation below 148.90 (e.g., closing below on 4H/daily chart). *Entry:* After confirmed breakdown, ideally with a retest of 148.90 as resistance. *Target:* 147.00 (190-pip downside). *Stop Loss:* 50-70 pips above entry (e.g., 149.40–149.60 to account for volatility). *Risk-Reward Ratio:* ~1:3 to 1:4 (favorable). --- ### *Key Technical Rationale* 1. *Price Action:* - Rejection from 151.00 resistance (bearish structure). - Breakdown below 148.90 support confirms bearish continuation. 2. *Indicators:* - *Alligator:* Lips (green) crossing below Jaw (blue) signals trend reversal. - *MACD:* Cross below 0-line confirms bearish momentum acceleration. 3. *Target Validation:* - 147.00 aligns with prior swing lows and Fibonacci extensions (61.8% retracement from recent rally). --- ### *Risks to Consider* - *False Breakdown:* Watch for a swift reclaim of 148.90 (stop hunt). - *BoJ Intervention:* Risk of yen-buying intervention if JPY weakens sharply. - *Upcoming Data:* U.S. CPI/Jobs data or BoJ policy shifts could disrupt the setup. --- ### *Execution Tips* - Wait for *price confirmation* (e.g., two consecutive closes below 148.90). - Monitor MACD histogram for strengthening bearish momentum. - Hedge with a long JPY basket (e.g., short AUDJPY/GBPJPY) to diversify risk. --- *Final Note:* This trade aligns with bearish technicals, but stay agile given macro risks. Adjust stops if fundamentals shift.

USDJPY STRONG FALLING OPPORTUNITY 1. 144.00 Support May Hold Strong The analysis assumes 144.00 will break, but this is a key psychological and historical support level. If buyers step in, USD/JPY could reverse back up instead of continuing downward. 2. Rebound Towards 150.00 Possible Instead of a lower low, USD/JPY could bounce off intermediate demand zones and attempt a retest of resistance at 150.00. US economic strength (inflation, interest rates) could support the dollar and invalidate the downtrend. 3. Lower Highs are Not Confirmed Yet If the price stays above 146.50, the trend could shift back bullish, disrupting the bearish projection. Lack of strong selling pressure near 147.00-146.00 could mean the market is undecided rather than fully bearish 4. Macroeconomic Factors Favor USD Strength If Bank of Japan (BoJ) remains dovish and the Fed keeps rates high, USD/JPY might resume its uptrend instead of falling

ANALYSIS ON THE USD/JPY PAIR (1D & 1H TF)On the Monthly TF, this pair has slowly been on an uptrend while taking impulsive moves and pullbacks along the way. Despite retesting the last temporary support zone around the 140 price level (in Sept 2024), recent events are showing that it may break below that region as we have seen a strong resistance around the 160 region. If it breaks below 139 we might see it dropping below to the 120. If it doesn't, then it will continue its Impulsive move and pullback pattern to a new ATH. Let's see how it plays out. PS: Don't forget that FA often affects TA (positively or negatively - depending on your analysis). #UseRiskManagement

The price appears to be consolidating near the support level. Key Points: Resistance Levels: The main resistance is around 147.624. This level acts as a ceiling, and the price may decrease if it encounters this area. The next resistance is around 148.000, which is a significant psychological level. Support Levels: The primary support is around 147.000. This level acts as a floor, and the price may increase if it reaches this area. The next support is seen around 146.500, which could be the next target for sellers if the previous support is broken. Possible Scenarios: Bearish Scenario: If the price fails to break through the resistance level of 147.624 and decreases after encountering this area, there is a possibility that the downtrend will continue to the support level of 147.000. Traders can consider selling near the resistance and after receiving confirmation, while practicing risk management. Bullish Scenario: If the price can break through the resistance level of 147.624 and consolidate, there is a possibility of the price increasing to the 148.000 level.

USDJPY → Readiness to break the daily support levelFX:USDJPY is testing strong key support at 148.64 for a breakdown. A falling dollar could affect further movement The falling dollar is supporting the Japanese Yen, thus we may see the currency pair falling. The price is trying to break the support of the daily level. A pre-breakdown consolidation of 150.3 - 148.64 is formed relative to this support. The last retest of the level ended with a small false breakdown, indicating that there is no one to defend the support anymore, there was no reaction except for another local consolidation, the purpose of which is to accumulate the potential to break the support. Resistance levels: 150.3, 150.95 Support levels: 148.64, 147.17 The focus is on the level of 148.64 concerning which the market is struggling. The bulls have little chance to hold this level, as the dollar's fall exerts quite a lot of pressure. The breakdown and fixing of the price below 148.64 may provoke a fall to 147 - 144. Regards R. Linda!

Dollar-yen’s downtrend continues below ¥148The yen has generally continued to perform well in recent days as participants continue to focus on probable further tightening by the Bank of Japan this year as the outlook for rates in the USA has become somewhat more dovish. Although unemployment rose slightly in Japan to 2.5% last month, the job market there is overall quite strong while Japanese annual headline inflation reached a high of more than two years at 4%. Dollar-yen’s downtrend had seemed quite mature last week but now momentum has returned, pushing the price below support from the 38.2% weekly Fibonacci retracement. Although there’s no oversold signal from either the slow stochastic or Bollinger Bands at the time of writing, the former remains very close to the zone of selling saturation. Volume meanwhile has increased significantly in recent days, which might suggest larger intraday movements. The next obvious strong support is the area of the 50% weekly Fibonacci retracement around ¥144.30. That would be quite an aggressive target, so it’d probably take the price a while to reach there if the downtrend continues. Continuation lower might be confirmed by two consecutive closes below ¥148. ¥151 is a possible short-term resistance based on behaviour earlier in the week. The upcoming NFP might complicate the current technical picture, especially if the result is at all surprising. Other things being equal, a better NFP suggests higher inflation also, and the opposite is also often true, so if there’s a surprise either way traders might start to price in expectations for next week’s CPI more firmly. This is my personal opinion, not the opinion of Exness. This is not a recommendation to trade.

Yen Steady Near 149 as BOJ Hints at Possible Rate HikesThe yen held near 149 per dollar, its strongest in five months, benefiting from a weaker dollar amid a stronger euro and Trump’s tariffs. While Trump eased tariffs for some automakers, retaliatory measures pressured the dollar. BOJ Deputy Governor Uchida signaled potential rate hikes if economic forecasts hold, noting financial conditions remain loose with minimal JGB reductions. Key resistance is at 152.00, with further levels at 154.90 and 156.00. Support stands at 148.60, followed by 147.10 and 145.80.
