USD/JPY Analysis: Pair Reaches 5-Month HighUSD/JPY Analysis: Pair Reaches 5-Month High The Japanese yen remains under pressure, trading near a five-month low against the US dollar. This trend is primarily driven by differences in monetary policy approaches. On one side, the Federal Reserve maintains a hawkish stance, signalling a gradual slowing of monetary easing in 2025. On the other, the Bank of Japan continues its cautious approach to policy tightening, as confirmed by a Reuters report published today. Although Japan’s Finance Minister issued warnings this week about potential market interventions, these statements have had little immediate impact. According to technical analysis of the USD/JPY chart, the pair is trending within a well-defined upward channel (marked in blue) with the following notable developments: → In September, the psychological level of 140 yen per dollar served as strong support for bulls, while in December, this shifted to 150 yen per dollar (as indicated by arrows). → Since September, price movements have established a steeper upward channel (highlighted in purple). → The pair has now reached the median line of the longer-term blue channel, suggesting a potential for more stable trading. This stability may also be supported by reduced trading activity during the holiday season. The current price action mirrors the conditions seen in summer 2024, when the pair steadily rose toward the critical level of 160 yen per dollar. As we enter early 2025, bulls may once again test this key threshold, seeking to push the pair higher. This article represents the opinion of the Companies operating under the FXOpen brand only.

USDJPY → Consolidation in the buying zone FX:USDJPY continues its bullish rally on the background of growing dollar. The fundamental background is on the side of the dollar, which is generally a negative factor for the yen. Technically, the price is still inside the uptrend. Moreover, the currency pair is breaking the flat resistance and after the correction and false breakout, it is consolidating above 156.75. If the bulls hold the defense above this level, the currency pair will head towards 160-162 in the medium term. The technical and fundamental background is on the side of the buyer. Resistance levels: 157.76, 160 Support levels: 155.88, 154.5 Price consolidation above 156.76 and further breakdown of the local maximum will provoke active purchases, which may lead the price to the targets indicated on the chart. Regards R. Linda! Happy Holidays and a productive 2025!

I'm Bullish on USDJPY | FundamentalInstitutional Momentum: On Dec. 19, USD/JPY trading volume surged to $23 billion, and options activity targeting 160-165 exploded, signaling institutional confidence in further upside. Why I'm Buying Now? The market is aligned with my thesis: hedge funds are piling into bullish USD/JPY positions, and the technical and fundamental setup supports further upside. While intervention risks exist, they’re manageable below 160, making this an ideal opportunity to capitalize on macro and market momentum.

USD/JPY – Just One Step Away from a Drop!Dear Traders, After a notable rally late last week, USD/JPY appears to have lost its momentum. Observations suggest that Wave 5 has completed, paving the way for a potential corrective decline, which aligns perfectly with the classic wave structure. We can now anticipate a downward correction, likely targeting the 155.95 zone initially. Following this, we might see further bearish consolidation below this level, aiming for the liquidity area around 152.85, a region that buyers have yet to revisit, and is currently taking shape. Remember, this is just the starting point of our analysis journey. We will provide regular updates so you can stay informed and adjust your strategies accordingly. Stick to the plan and trade carefully!

USD/JPY to continue its upward trendThe USD/JPY pair has moved higher on the one-hour timeframe after breaking the 155.83-156.75 resistance range and is now consolidating above this range. The next technical targets include the 158.95 level (1.272 Fibonacci level) and the 161.76 level (1.618 Fibonacci level). The moving averages and the Ichimoku cloud support the continuation of the uptrend. The key support range of 155.83-156.75 plays an important role in maintaining the uptrend, and a break of this level could change the trend. Demand for the US dollar appears to continue to support this move.
