USDJPY SELL BOJ INTRESET RATES AHEAD!!!HELLO TRADERS
I am looking USDJPY chart and its now consolidation & trading in a channel. as we know tomorrow is BANK OF JAPAN interest rates coming out and I hope so it will be good for JPY even they are same as in forecast maybe it can be surprising expected the BOJ to end its negative rate policy, which has set Japan's short-term deposit rate to minus 0.1% over the past seven years, Governor Kazuo Ueda told a newspaper interview earlier this month the BOJ might get enough data by year-end to judge whether it could end negative rates, prompting traders to buy the yen to hedge against a possible earlier-than-expected rate hike.
While it has bounced back in the last couple of trading sessions due to some “bargain hunting” amid oversold conditions, the downside may not be done just yet.
it's just a trade idea friends share your thoughts with us it helps us all.

USDJPY: The 10-year Japanese government bond yield could reach 2CEO of asset management fund Eurizon SLJ Capital, Mr. Stephen Jen, said that the USDJPY exchange rate could fall to 1 USD for 130 Yen by the end of this year, while the yield on Japanese government bonds with a term of 10 year is likely to increase by 1.5% - 2%. USDJPY traded around 148.10 and the 10-year bond yield was at 0.71% on January 29.
According to Stephen Jen, the father of the Laughing Dollar theory, Governor Kazuo Ueda's focus in the near future is to reset monetary policy "to allow the BoJ to act without bursting the government bond bubble (JGB )”.
Adding shorts to USDJPYMy view on USDJPY has not changed. I still see a bearish setup with a strong confirmation. Break of main trendline (daily), retest of it, i expect a break of the short term trendline (Hourly) and drop. As a support, there is a nice divergence on H4 timeframe. Target is around 146.000, invalidation is a break above recent highs
USDJPY | Perspective for the new week | Follow-upUSD/JPY appears to encounter resistance around 148.80 over the last three days, with fading bets on a Fed rate cut. While bullish sentiments persist, the bulls take a breather, gearing up for potential momentum next week, pending the Bank of Japan's (BoJ) monetary policy hints.
On the USD front, resilience continues fueled by recovering US yields and positive University of Michigan (UoM) Consumer Sentiment data, providing the Greenback an additional boost. Eyes are on December's Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) figures, the Fed's preferred gauge of inflation, influencing market bets for upcoming decisions. Despite some easing in dovish expectations this week, the odds of cuts in March and May, according to the CME FedWatch Tool, remain at around 50% and 45%, respectively.
USDJPY Technical Analysis:
As discussed in the video, the recent upward momentum is showing signs of easing, leaving room for a possible USD pullback. However, for a confirmed uptrend continuation, we need to see sustained trading above 148.800. Our detailed technical analysis focused on the current bullish market structure, with particular attention to the crucial level of 148.800, set as a pivotal point for the upcoming week. This level gains significance as a potential catalyst for a clear uptrend if buying pressure persists. The market's response to this level at the beginning of the new week will strongly influence the direction of price action in the days ahead.

USDJPY: The foreign exchange market is quiet, the USD is stable Most Asian currencies stayed narrow on Wednesday, while the dollar steadied near a six-week high as markets awaited further signals on when the Federal Reserve might start cutting interest rates.
The Australian dollar fell 0.1%, even as January PMI data showed some improvement in manufacturing and services activity. The Aussie, often seen as an indicator of broader risk appetite for Asian markets, is also trading near a seven-week low.
USD steadies near 6-week high with econ. data, Fed meeting underway
The dollar index and dollar index futures both fell 0.1% in Asian trading after rising to their highest since early December in the previous session.
The greenback marked a strong start to 2024 as strong inflation and labor market data showed traders had largely tempered expectations for an early Fed rate cut.
This perception has been exacerbated by a series of hawkish comments from Fed officials over the past week.
The focus now turns to fourth-quarter gross domestic product data, due on Thursday, and PCE price index data - the Fed's preferred inflation gauge - due on Friday. Any sign of recovery in economic growth and inflation gives the Fed more incentive to keep interest rates higher for longer.
The readings also come just days before the Fed's first meeting of 2024, where the bank is widely expected to maintain interest rates at a 23-year high.
But the Fed is still expected to start cutting interest rates this year, which will keep traders watching for any such signals from the meeting.

USDJPY → On the way to 152.000? Let's Maximize Profits!USDJPY is on its third leg up in this bull trend and heading toward a Resistance Zone at 149.350. Should we consider shorting the resistance? Or longing a pullback?
How do we trade this? 🤔
Longing a pullback is the more probable trade. While we are looking at the third leg up in this bull trend (a situation where we may want to refrain from longing), we do not have any sign of a sell signal in sight. The RSI is over 70.00 near a Resistance Zone which means we should wait for a pullback toward the bull trend line near the 147.500 area and wait for a strong bull response. The Resistance Zone is the result of a high-volume price area; look to the left on the chart to see that data.
Once we see a strong bull bar closing on or near its high off of that trend line, it's reasonable to take a long position at a 1:2 Risk/Reward Ratio. Take half profits at 1:1 Risk/Reward (149.600) just into the Resistance Zone, move your take profit up to the entry price to lock in profits, then swing the latter half of your position to 151.100 or until you see a sell signal near the previous high of 152.000.
The probability of profit weakens as the trend moves into the third and fourth legs and therefore, the position size of this trade should be smaller to reduce our initial risk.
💡 Trade Idea 💡
Long Entry: 148.100
🟥 Stop Loss: 146.600
✅ Take Profit #1: 149.600
✅ Take Profit #2: 151.100
⚖️ Risk/Reward Ratio: 1:2
🔑 Key Takeaways 🔑
1. Third leg up in a bull channel
2. Near a Resistance Zone
3. Gap back down to the Bull Trend line
4. RSI at 80.00 and above the moving average, supports a pullback
5. Wait for the price to come back down to the bull trend and bounce to enter a trade
💰 Trading Tip 💰
The longer a trend continues after 3 legs, the probability of that trend continuing lessens. Because of this decreased probability, we ought to reduce our risk when entering trades.

USDJPY: USD/JPY fluctuated in the 146-150 range, to a greater exMizuho Bank said Japan will tolerate the yen's decline in the near term, expecting it to rise as the bank tightens policy, possibly as early as the second quarter.
Additionally, Mizuho Bank said that while the Fed, ECB and BoE have not yet fully acknowledged that a rate cut is imminent, the Bank of Japan wants to avoid making a sudden change as it could could put disproportionate upward pressure on JPY. The reduction in yields and profits will work together to amplify forex moves (yen strength). Therefore, the BoJ will not rush to adjust policy that could be interpreted as tightening and concludes:
Some reduction in JPY now may be the necessary balance to avoid a sudden and unwanted spike in JPY later.
Expect 146-150 range in the coming months with heightened volatility.
Currency to watch this week: Japanese Yen The three big events of this week will likely be the BoJ, BoC, and ECB interest rate decisions.
Even though we aren't expecting to see any rate cuts or rate rises from any bank, we are looking forward to the guidance that each will present alongside their respective decisions. The guidance might be enough to move the yen, Canadian dollar, or euro.
The USD/JPY might be the one to watch the closest this week though. In particular, we like watching the tussle in the pair as it approaches 150.000 with bulls having to become a little sheepish as they anticipate BoJ intervention around this level. Is the threat of intervention sometimes more than enough to convince bulls not to take on any more long positions?
Coincidently, Japan’s finance minister Shun'ichi Suzuki gave a verbal warning last Friday saying that the government was watching currency moves carefully.
Working against the yen is that BoJ guidance at the time of its interest rate decision will likely be as dovish as always, considering last week's domestic inflation data (falling to 2.6% in December 2023 from 2.8% in the prior month). Which is why you might anticipate more upside in the USDJPY. Although anything is possible. The Bank of Japan has shocked markets before.
USDJPY | Perspective for the new week | Follow-upExplore the unfolding story of USDJPY in our latest technical analysis! Japan's Current Account growth fell short of expectations, printing at ¥1,925.6 billion in November. Despite markets anticipating ¥2,385.1 billion, the actual figure raised concerns. With expectations of the BoJ maintaining its ultra-dovish stance, we analyze how this might impact the JPY's upside potential.
The upcoming week brings Japan's Producer Price Index (PPI) figures for December, adding a layer of anticipation. Meanwhile, across the Pacific, the US Producer Price Index for final demand dipped 0.1% in the last month. This decline, coupled with service prices remaining unchanged, has heightened expectations of lower inflation in the future. Traders are now factoring in a 79% chance of a March rate cut, up from 73% on Thursday, according to the CME Group's FedWatch Tool.
USDJPY Technical Analysis:
As highlighted in the video, the recent upward pressure is beginning to ease, and the odds of USD pulling back further still exist. However, only persistent trading above 144.800 will validate an uptrend continuation. In this video, we conducted an in-depth technical analysis of the USDJPY chart, carefully examining the current bullish market structure. Our primary focus is within the key zone of 144.000/144.800, which will serve as our center of focus ahead of the upcoming week. The key level becomes an area of interest as continued buying pressure above this zone could incite a clear uptrend. The market's reaction around this area at the beginning of the new week will heavily influence the trajectory of price action in the days to come.

USD/JPY: Retests to kill momentum? USD/JPY: Retests to kill momentum?
The USD/JPY experienced a notable surge from 144.50 as the week commenced, surpassing the 61.8% retracement level from the November-December downturn. It breached its 100-day MA, demonstrating a one-way move that resulted in a gain of 400 pips. Since the beginning of the year, the yen has incurred a loss exceeding 4%.
Presently, the currency pair stands at a six-week high, propelled by a rally in the dollar following comments from Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller. His remarks tempered expectations of a rate cut in March.
The immediate obstacle to further upward movement lies in a retest of 149.700, followed by the crucial threshold of 150.00.
Today's release of consumer inflation data from Japan is anticipated to provide additional indications of easing price pressures and will be crucial in determining how well the pair performs against the noted resistance levels that are in its sights, or how well the 100-day MA holds up as a level of support.
USD/JPY: The Trend is still bullish in mid term....Hi everybody!
On weekly Chart the trend is bullish , but although the pair formed a nice impulsive rally, at the moment, I still consider the main trend as a big corrective pattern (ABC Pattern). Even though the price rejected from 149.25 area (wave C), the wave was very steep and I don't rule out its transformation into an impulsive wave (12345). If this happens an ABCDE Pattern ( Flat Correction ) is possible. One aspect that should not be underestimated is the BoJ's changing of the guard. Kazuo Ueda is set to become the next governor of the Bank of Japan, succeeding current central bank chief Governor Haruhiko Kuroda. Both houses of Japan’s parliament now need to approve Ueda’s nomination. Prime Minister Fumio Kishida’s ruling coalition has a majority in both chambers. Parliamentary hearings are likely to take place on Feb. 24, Nikkei reported. Kishida recently emphasized the need for the next central bank governor to have “global communication skills” and be able to coordinate closely with global peers , Reuters reported, citing his comments in parliament...
...Current governor Kuroda was first appointed in March 2013. He has led the central bank’s ultra-dovish monetary policy , including maintaining a negative interest rate since 2016 – even as global peers have been hiking to tackle inflation . His current five-year term will end on April 8. Bank of America Global Research expects gradual policy normalization under the central bank’s new leadership instead of an abrupt change, according to the firm’s economists led by Izumi Devalier. The team said in a report that completely removing the central bank’s yield curve control – a policy of maintaining 10-year Japanese government bond yields within a 50-basis-point range of 0% – won’t happen any time soon. “We continue to think a change in the BoJ’s policy framework (including abandoning YCC and negative interest rates) will be delayed until mid-2024,” the economists said, adding that they expect to see “flexibility” in changing the current policy instead. The economists added that it’s “only a matter of time” before the Bank of Japan tweaks its yield curve control policy, and that they expect to see changes within the first half of 2023. Japan’s government also reportedly announced its nominees for other central bank roles including Shinichi Uchida, currently the central bank’s executive director, and Ryozo Himino, the former chief of Japan’s Financial Services Agency. “The government’s reported deputy governor picks are also well-suited to address the challenge of streamlining and winding down the BoJ’s expansive easing program, in our view,” the BofA economists said in their report ahead of the announcement.
On trading side, technically speaking, if the trend is bullish , it should be correct to try to take Long position on any pullback or corrective structure above 132 area.

USDJPY → Bull Trend 1st Leg Complete! Long Again? Let's Answer.USD/JPY broke out of its descending wedge last week in a fantastic move toward the Resistance Zone (Now the Support Zone). We capitalized on that trade, you can find the details in the chart below. Are we ready for another long?
USDJPY Trade - Last Week:
How do we trade this? 🤔
We finished last week with a wild doji candle (one bar trading range) just above the 30EMA. That may have completed the first leg up in this new bull trend which has yet to be determined if it's a pullback on the macro bear trend or the start of another push up to higher highs. If it's a pullback in the bear trend, then we should expect no more than two legs to the upside before the price falls down again. If this is another run toward 152.000, then we should expect at least three legs to the upside.
We do have justification to long on the Daily or 4HR. The Daily chart shows weakness above the 30EMA, the 4HR chart shows us stuck just below the 200EMA as shown in the following chart:
USDJPY 4HR Chart:
Both RSI's call for a pullback; the 4HR is high and below the Moving Average, and the Daily is around 50.00 but has a gap back down to the Moving Average. We need to wait for a pullback to happen which will likely bring the price toward the bottom of the Support Range around 143.800. At that price area, we need to look for a strong buy signal telling us we're going up for a second leg.
Until then, it's best to wait on the sidelines for more price action and an optimal entry.
💡 Trade Idea 💡
Long Entry: 144.350
🟥 Stop Loss: 143.100
✅ Take Profit: 146.850
⚖️ Risk/Reward Ratio: 1:2
🔑 Key Takeaways 🔑
1. Breakout from Descending Wedge
2. 1st Leg up Potentially Complete
3. Wait for Pullback to Bottom of Support Zone Area.
4. Look for Bull Confirmation near the 143.800 Area to Long.
5. RSI at 52.00 and above Moving Average. Bias to Long, but wait for Gap to Close.
💰 Trading Tip 💰
Traders often get trapped trying to trade the end of a second leg thinking a third leg is coming. Pullbacks often have two legs and when the third leg fails, it's in part because the traders stop loss is hit, causing the price to go the opposite direction of their trade and continuing the macro trend.

USDJPY Short Term Sell IdeaH4 - Bearish trend pattern followed by a potential correction.
Bearish divergence.
Until the two key resistance zones hold my short term view remains bearish here.
A valid breakout below the most recent uptrend line would be the validation for this short term bearish view.
UsdJpy- Resumption of the up trend (Long term view)After experiencing a prolonged uptrend in 2023, during which it gained 3000 pips, the mid-November period marked the beginning of a correction for $FX:USDJPY. Over the next six weeks, the pair dropped by 1000 pips, reaching a significant psychological level of 140.
The decline observed from December, however, formed a steep falling wedge, suggesting the potential for a reversal. This reversal indeed occurred as the new year commenced, with the pair breaking above the resistance of the pattern on January 2nd. Subsequent to this breakthrough, the market witnessed consecutive green days, and USDJPY successfully surpassed the crucial technical zone of 143.50-144.
In the past week, the pair consolidated its recent gains and stabilized around the 145 region. The overall long-term trend remains bullish, and the recent low at 140 could signify the conclusion of the correction. In such a scenario, there is the potential for the pair to resume its upward movement, surpassing the recent high of 151.50, and achieving new highs in the coming months.
My bullish sentiment persists as long as the pair remains above 143.
