JPY weakens on BoJ rumor and strong US jobs The Japanese yen has fallen past 132.50 per dollar (from 129.00 last Friday), reaching its lowest point in four weeks following reports that the government is considering Bank of Japan Deputy Governor Masayoshi Amamiya as the next central bank leader. Amamiya is seen as the most dovish of the potential candidates, putting an end to hopes of the BoJ normalizing its monetary policy after years of ultra-easy measures. However, the Japanese government has since denied the rumors that they had approached Amamiya and maintains that the new BoJ Governor will be announced sometime in February. Recently, the Japanese central bank maintained its ultra-low interest rates and yield control policy, despite speculation of a policy change. Current BoJ Governor Haruhiko Kuroda stressed the need for a sustainable 2% inflation target, accompanied by rising wages. The yen was also affected by a strong dollar due to positive US jobs data, indicating that the Federal Reserve has room to raise interest rates. In January 2023, the US economy created a surprising 517K jobs, the largest increase since July and well above the 2022 monthly average of 401K, easily surpassing the market prediction of 185K. The job growth was broad-based, with the biggest increases in leisure and hospitality (128K), professional and business services (82K), and health care (58K). Last week, USD/JPY had a noteworthy 4-hourly candle close from a technical viewpoint, breaking through the descending trendline and the psychological 130.00 level. The new 4-hourky open was in the form of a Hanging Man candlestick, with no upper wick, indicating bearish stagnation or a reversal. If we do see some retracement the 200-day moving average could act as support just below 131.00. On the weekly view of the chart, upside resistance suggests 132.90, 133.90 and 134.40 could be points of contention for the pair.

Looking for trend continuation USDJPY – the week of 06 Feb The USD had a massive recovery on Fri, it made up all the losses of the previous 8 trading days. But price is now within a major s/r zone located near the 131.50 level. Price is below the 200 and 50 dma, the slope of the 50 sma is to the down side and I retain my bearish bias on this pair. The previous high has also not been broken. I am looking for some signs that the downtrend is resuming and will go short if I see that happening. I will monitor PA on H4 chart and look for a double top/engulfing candle/a break of a trendline that may form or a bounce off the 50 EMA as factors of confluence to my bias. Initial target can be at 127.70 that could be extended if price action indicates that. Nothing is 100% in trading, so as always, use sound money and risk management and stay patient in all your trades.

USDJPY showing mixed signals - Bullish starting biasDownward channel has been clearly performing over the last couple of months. Before we saw an INverse Cup and Handle which brough the price to our first target. This continued downtrend however, is seeing potential signs of upside. First the RSI is touching the 50 and has turned a Green backgroun. The Price has currently broken above the channel, but will it last? I am going to choose the bullish bias and set a target at 137.50. If it turns back down it's going to 122.00. Hence I'm having a Neutral view with a bullish bias. If that makes sense haha.

USDJPY - Daily Trade Idea - 2-Feb-23USDJPY (SHORT)- If all the resistance holds in place. If we see the Resistance broken out then we could see the shift in the trend.

USDJPY Breaks Into SellUSDJPY finally makes a directional breakout after ranging across resistance and support ranges of 130.600 and 129.400 . The FOMC Press Conference caused a downward spike in pricing that I expect to continue after NY market close and JPY open based on the hourly chart. I have based my analysis on the last time UJ saw current price points in mid-Jan 2023. Sell Entry: 128.500 Targets: 128.350 | 128.200 | 128.030 | 127.900 | 127.770 | 127.600 Support: 127.360 Be sure to like this post and let me know what you think in the comments below!

USDJPY - CURRENT SENTIMENT , FUNDAMENTAL BIAS#USDJPY - As of last day, the MARKET SENTIMENT for USD was slightly UP SIDE. The main reason for that is that the JPY is starting to weaken quite a bit. It happened because of the BOJ MEETING. This time after the FOMC, the dollar has also weakened. - Due to MARKET RISK ON, all MARKETS including STOCKS and COMMODITIES are going up a bit now. - There is definitely a high possibility that USDJPY will go UP a bit more and move to 133.67 LEVEL. Anyway, USDJPY price can go down to 125.02 LEVEL after that. We focus on MARKET UPDATES and MARKET SENTIMENT. Follow the given MARKET STRUCTURE.
