USDJPY_SPT trade ideas
Yen slides on oil supply jitters after US attack on IranThe Japanese yen has started the week with sharp losses. In the European session, USD/JPY has jumped 1.2% on the day and is trading at 147.82. The yen has fallen to five-week lows against the US dollar.
The fallout from the US attack on Iranian nuclear facilities over the weekend is being felt in the currency markets. The Japanese yen, traditionally a safe-haven currency, continues to depreciate, in response to rising oil prices.
Oil prices rose to their highest level since January on Monday after the US attack on Iranian nuclear facilities. Iran has threatened to close the Straits of Hormuz, a critical trade route through which 20% of the world's oil supply passes through each day. Oil prices have jumped about 10% since the Israel-Iran war started on June 13 and fears of a disruption to oil supply could further boost oil prices.
As oil prices have climbed, the yen has lost ground, declining 3.0% since the Israel-Iran war started. Japan imports almost all of its oil and the rise in oil prices is hurting Japan's trade balance.
Japan's core inflation rate climbed 3.7% y/y in May, up from 3.5% in April. Core CPI has accelerated for a third straight month and hit its highest level since Jan. 2023. This was above the market estimate of 3.6%. Headline inflation ticked lower to 3.5% from 3.6% in April, below the forecast of 3.6%.
The rise in core CPI supports the case for the Bank of Japan to boost interest rates, but the uncertainty over tariffs and the Israel-Iran war will likely mean that the BoJ will stay on the sidelines in the coming months.
There is resistance at 146.91. Next, USD/JPY is testing resistance at 147.61
146.51 and 145.81 are the next support levels

USDJPY: Waiting For a Breakout to Buyโ ๏ธUSDJPY is in a strong bullish trend on an intraday chart and is currently testing a significant horizontal resistance.
I'm looking for a breakout, specifically a 4-hour candle closing above it, to enter a buy position.
A bullish break of the highlighted blue area will provide a strong signal, potentially driving prices up to the 146.10 resistance level.
USDJPY ANalysis week 26Fundamental analysis
The Fed kept interest rates unchanged and forecast only a small cut in 2026-2027 due to concerns about high inflation. The number of officials opposing a rate cut this year increased. The Israel-Iran conflict escalated, the US may attack Iran but is waiting for Tehran's response, causing the Japanese Yen to appreciate thanks to its safe-haven role.
Japan and the US have not reached a trade deal, the risk of higher tariffs before the July 9 deadline. The US dollar is near a one-week high, supporting the USD/JPY pair, but investors remain cautious due to the lack of new economic data.
Technical analysis
USDJPY is rising quite strongly and reacting at the resistance zone of 146.200. There is a possibility of a price gap next week, so trading early will be quite risky. The trading range is expected to be clearer at the resistance and support zones. 146,800 and 147,700 are noted as the two important upper boundary zones. 145,400 and 144,400 will be important support zones with a very strong buyer force waiting.

USDJPY โ Bearish Pressure Builds Amid Fed Dovish ExpectationsFX:USDJPY is trading around the 145.300 mark and showing signs of weakness, as the US dollar comes under pressure from growing expectations that the Federal Reserve may begin cutting interest rates in September. This sentiment is fueled by recent soft US data, including weaker retail sales and industrial production.
Meanwhile, the Japanese yen is regaining some strength, supported by safe-haven demand amid geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and possible intervention signals from the Bank of Japan.
In the short term, I lean toward a corrective pullback scenario while awaiting clearer signals from the Fed.

The USD/JPY pair is currently approaching a critical resistance zone (145.800 - 146.000), which has acted as a strong supply area in the past. The price has shown bullish momentum as it builds higher lows and heads toward this resistance.
๐ Key Observations:
๐ต Resistance Zone: Clearly marked and tested multiple times. A breakout above this level could trigger a bullish continuation.
๐ Bullish Structure: The pair is forming a strong uptrend with higher highs and higher lows on the 4H timeframe.
๐ Retest Scenario: Chart suggests a potential breakout above the resistance, followed by a bullish retest before continuing toward the target zone at ~148.900.
๐ข Upside Target: 148.900 (Previous swing high) โ a potential gain of over 300 pips from breakout point.
๐ Trading Outlook:
โ
A confirmed breakout and retest of the resistance zone could offer a high-probability long setup.
โ A failure to break and hold above the resistance may result in short-term consolidation or reversal.
๐
Watch Levels:
Resistance: 145.800 โ 146.000
Support (breakout retest): 145.200 โ 145.500

USDJPYUSD (DXY-based futures):
โค +1,402 โ modest net-long position (buying bias)
JPY (Japanese Yen futures):
โค +144,595 โ extremely net-long, near record levels
What This Means:
USD +1,402 = Mild bullish sentiment โ large traders are slightly buying USD, but not aggressively.
JPY +144,595 = Very strong bullish sentiment โ hedge funds and institutions are heavily buying JPY, suggesting they expect it to strengthen.
This gives a bearish bias for USD/JPY:
If JPY buying continues, USD/JPY may decline.
Bias: Short USD/JPY
Fundamental Market Analysis for June 20, 2025 USDJPYThe Japanese yen (JPY) strengthened slightly against the US dollar during Friday's Asian session and moved away from the monthly low reached the day before. Data released by the Japanese government showed that the annual consumer price index (CPI) in May remained well above the Bank of Japan's (BoJ) target of 2%. This confirms market expectations that the BoJ will raise interest rates again and is a key factor driving the moderate growth of the JPY.
Meanwhile, ongoing trade uncertainty and further escalation of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East continue to weigh on investor sentiment, further strengthening the JPY's status as a safe haven. In addition, the moderate decline in the US dollar (USD) is pulling the USD/JPY pair back towards the psychological level of 145.000. However, expectations that the BoJ may keep rates unchanged until the first quarter of 2026, as well as the Federal Reserve's (Fed) hawkish pause earlier this week, may limit the pair's losses.
Market participants are paying extra attention to upcoming economic releases from the US, including inflation and labor market data, which could influence the Fed's monetary policy trajectory. If the statistics prove strong, this could strengthen the dollar and put pressure on the yen. However, the continuing weakness in the global economic recovery and high Japanese inflation continue to support expectations of a gradual tightening of BoJ policy, creating an ambiguous outlook for the USD/JPY exchange rate in the short term.

Fake breakout, support, trend line and stop loss for USDJPYI am still bearish on USDJPY. However, you can see from the shorter time frame, there are multiple occasions where fake breakouts happen. This usually stops out the traders with tight SL. Unless you have a clear strategy, after being stopped out from this pair, it is highly likely that you will move on to other pairs/asset classes to find your next pot of gold.
But if you are persistent and have the patience, you will notice this fake breakout patterns. It is getting shorter and shorter. Now, with the support at 142.472, a breakdown will be great as it sends the price to 140 level.
If you wants to short now, it would be better to have a wider SL, say 145.60 , the previous peak where it is more likely not to surpass. A higher SL will mean you cannot be greedy in your position size initially to rein in the gains if it moves in your favour. It is better to have a small position and the market agrees with you than to go on an aggressive mode of say 5-10 contracts position size and shortly market moves against you. The stress would be too much to bear seeing the losses running........
Find one strategy that suits your personality , risk profile and work on it tirelessly.
