Japan GDP beats forecast, yen ends skidThe Japanese yen is in positive territory today, putting the brakes on a four-day skid. In the European session, USD/JPY is trading at 155.54 down 0.45% on the day. Japan’s economy expanded by 0.9% in the third quarter, below the revised 2.2% gain in Q2 but above the market estimate of 0.7%. Quarterly, GDP rose 0.2%, lower than the 0.5% gain in Q2 and matching expectations. The GDP numbers were not sparkling but point to a second straight quarter of growth. August economic activity was dampened due to a “megaquake” alert and a fierce typhoon which caused widespread destruction and disruption. Private consumption, which comprises more than half of the country’s GDP showed strong growth of 3.6% y/y, despite the weather issues. This is an encouraging sign for the Bank of Japan, which wants to see inflation rise to demand and consumption. The BoJ has been vague about the timing of a rate hike but the markets are looking at December or January as likely dates. The yen has been wobbly and is down 2.3% in November. If the yen’s downswing continues, the BoJ could decide to hike rates at the Dec. 19 meeting. There is also the possibility of the Ministry of Finance intervening in the currency markets if the yen declines sharply. The US wraps up the week with retail sales for October, with a market estimate of 1.9%. Retails sales eased to 1.7% y/y in September, which was an 8-month low. Monthly, retail sales are expected to inch up to 0.4% from 0.3%. Consumer spending has been generally strong and consumer confidence should improve now that the uncertainty over the US election is over. USD/JPY has pushed below support at 1.5601 and is testing 1.5560. The next support line is 1.5493 1.5668 and 1.5709 are the next resistance lines

USD/JPY Potential Trajectory Around Intervention Levels..Whispers of Intervention (again) by the Japanese Govt have come across the board as the USD drives higher. Japanese officials are aware of demand into USD post Trump Election and will be monitoring the weakening of the JPY carefully. We've seen several Japanese interventions in recent history, and anything more would likely deliver a larger fall back to lows to keep price sustainable. It is is more the rate at which the weakening happens, not so much the eventual price. So any data that spurs a further drive into the USD could cause this to happen. Any entries, must be light. I would not take anything seriously long here at all given the position the JPY is in, not least how weak it is already. With intervention chatter on the cards its a recipe for long disaster, even despite rate differentials. S/L may be helpful. Keeping a close eye on news sentiment as we go forward.

USDJPY Daily Analysis: Slight Bearish Bias Expected Amid Fed’sUSDJPY Daily Analysis: Slight Bearish Bias Expected Amid Fed’s Dovish Outlook and Yen’s Safe-Haven Appeal 15/11/2024 Introduction Today’s outlook for USDJPY leans towards a slight bearish bias, driven by multiple factors that currently favor the Japanese yen (JPY) over the U.S. dollar (USD). With the Federal Reserve's dovish stance, increased safe-haven demand for the yen, and recent technical indicators pointing to downside potential, USDJPY appears set for a potential downward trend. This analysis provides key insights into the main drivers shaping the pair’s movement today, offering valuable information for forex traders. --- Key Drivers Influencing USDJPY Today 1. Dovish Federal Reserve Reducing USD Appeal Recent U.S. economic data, including lower-than-expected inflation and moderate job growth, has led to a more cautious outlook from the Federal Reserve. With expectations for rate hikes now muted, the USD faces downward pressure. The dovish stance has weakened the dollar’s appeal, supporting a bearish bias for USDJPY as investors seek alternatives like the yen. 2. Increased Safe-Haven Demand for Japanese Yen The Japanese yen traditionally serves as a safe-haven currency, attracting investors during times of global uncertainty. With ongoing geopolitical concerns and fluctuating economic conditions in various regions, demand for safe-haven assets like the yen has increased. This factor adds to the downward pressure on USDJPY, as traders shift to more stable options amid market volatility. 3. Stable Policy from Bank of Japan (BoJ) Supporting Yen While the Bank of Japan has maintained its accommodative policy stance, recent signals suggest that any policy adjustments could be dependent on sustained inflation improvements. This stability in BoJ’s approach has reinforced confidence in the yen, contributing to its strength against a softer dollar. The BoJ’s consistent position gives the JPY added support, favoring a bearish bias for USDJPY. 4. Technical Indicators Showing Bearish Momentum From a technical perspective, USDJPY is currently trading below key resistance levels and the 50-day moving average, both of which point to a bearish trend. Indicators like the RSI (Relative Strength Index) and MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) show bearish signals, suggesting potential for further downside in the pair. --- Technical Analysis Indicators Supporting a Bearish Outlook Moving Averages and RSI USDJPY remains below its 50-day moving average, indicating continued downward pressure. The RSI is trending lower without reaching oversold territory, which implies room for additional declines without a correction. MACD and Volume Trends The MACD has shown a bearish crossover, supporting expectations for a bearish trend. Volume analysis also reflects a steady increase in selling interest, further aligning with today’s bearish bias for USDJPY. --- Conclusion With the Fed’s dovish outlook, rising safe-haven demand for the yen, and supportive technical indicators, USDJPY is expected to maintain a slight bearish bias today. Traders should stay vigilant to any changes in risk sentiment or key economic data releases, as these factors could impact the pair’s movement. --- SEO Tags: - #USDJPYforecast - #USDJPYanalysis - #USDJPYtechnicalanalysis - #ForexTradingUSDJPY - #JapaneseYenOutlook - #USDJPYtoday - #USDWeakness - #ForexMarketAnalysis - #USDJPYprediction

USD/JPY Under Pressure: A Guide to Shorting OpportunitiesMarket Sentiment and Positioning: Monitoring the sentiment in the forex market can provide insights into the overall positioning of traders. If sentiment shifts towards bearishness for the dollar based on the above factors, it could create a self-fulfilling prophecy as more traders take short positions. Geopolitical Tensions: Geopolitical events can significantly influence currency markets. For instance, any escalation in trade tensions, conflicts, or uncertainty surrounding U.S. foreign policy could lead to a flight to safety, where investors prefer holding the yen over the dollar, thus providing a rationale for shorting USD/JPY. Economic Slowdown in the U.S.: Recent economic indicators from the U.S. may suggest a slowdown, such as declining GDP growth, rising unemployment, or decreasing consumer confidence. If these trends continue, they can lead to a bearish outlook for the USD, prompting traders to short USD/JPY.

USD/JPY Analysis on the 1-Hour ChartIn this analysis of USD/JPY, we are currently observing an uptrend, with buyers maintaining control of the market. A key support zone, marked in green, has been identified as an area where buyers have previously stepped in to push the price higher. While the price is not currently in this zone, our strategy anticipates a potential pullback to this support level. If the price returns to this green zone, it could attract buyers again, leading to a potential upward movement in line with the prevailing trend. Trading Plan: Long Positions: If the price retraces to the green support zone, look for confirmation of buyer interest, such as bullish candlestick patterns, an increase in buying momentum, or positive divergence. These signals could provide an opportunity to enter long positions. Stop Loss: Place a stop loss slightly below the green support zone to manage risk in case the support fails to hold. Profit Target: The first target would be the previous resistance level or the next significant resistance zone, where sellers may return. This approach allows us to trade with the trend while maintaining a disciplined risk management strategy. Monitoring the price action closely around the green support zone is crucial for executing this idea effectively.

Fundamental Market Analysis for November 15, 2024 USDJPYThe Japanese Yen (JPY) extended its losing streak against the US Dollar (USD) for the fifth consecutive session following the release of Japan's Q3 Gross Domestic Product (GDP) data on Friday. The USD/JPY pair's upside potential is supported by a strong US Dollar (USD). Traders are also preparing for the release of US retail sales data for October, due later on Friday. Japan's preliminary gross domestic product (GDP) data for the third quarter rose 0.2% quarter-on-quarter, up from 0.5% in the previous quarter, matching market expectations. On an annualized basis, the country's GDP growth in the third quarter was 0.9%, beating the market consensus forecast of 0.7%, but showing a sharp slowdown from the 2.2% growth recorded in the second quarter. Japan's Finance Minister Katsunobu Kato said on Friday that he will take appropriate measures against excessive currency fluctuations. Kato emphasized the importance of stable exchange rate movements reflecting economic fundamentals and expressed concern about unilateral sharp fluctuations in the market. Meanwhile, Japan's Economy Minister Ryosei Akazawa said he expects the moderate economic recovery to continue, fueled by rising employment and wages. However, Akazawa also emphasized the need to keep a close eye on potential downside risks to the global economy and volatility in financial and capital markets. Trading recommendation: Trade predominantly with Buy orders from the current price level.

USD/JPY H4 | Bullish uptrend to extend further?USD/JPY is falling towards a pullback support and could potentially bounce off this level to climb higher. Buy entry is at 155.74 which is a pullback support that aligns with the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level. Stop loss is at 154.20 which is a level that lies underneath an overlap support and the 50.0% Fibonacci retracement level. Take profit is at 157.71 which is an overlap resistance.

#001 USDJPY DCAEntered when price came back to the 60sma, and confluence with the stochastics 20,1,1. I will be adding into my losers when price comes back to the pre-marked levels as shown in the chart. Every pip is 0.01cents, and I do not set any stop loss. I am testing this out on my other fool around account but I hope I do not blow it. Warning regarding News Days Do not trade until the news has been released and the market has calmed down, reason being, before news release, price tends to go flat and you will just be wasting your time and energy hoping for price to move in your intended direction or against your intended direction, therefore, exerting your mental capital more than neccesary. Secondly, especially when trading on the minutes time frame, when news get released, there's a high possibility that volatility will take you out. Or, if you do not set any stop loss, it would bring you to the opposite side of the room for over 100pips (for example) and you have to crawl your way back to at least breakeven.

The Dollar Is Running - So Stop Trying To Call The Top or BottomThe Dollar has had an impressive run over October & now half of November with consistent bullish weekly closes. It's in these times as traders, that we project our opinion onto the market and start saying things like "The market has to pullback or reverse from here" where in reality, the market's going to do whatever it want to. There is no indication as yet from structure across the board that trends are shifting so continue to ride the wave if it aligns with your strategy. Identify key areas on the weekly and monthly because that is likely where we're gravitating towards. Tomorrow I see continued upside on USDJPY, which I'm currently long on, which would tie in nicely with the run higher on GBPJPY to sweep TBL and mitigate the bearish order block before a sell off lower.
