USDJPY Discussions

Recommended Posts

So it seems to me my USDJPY trade has been ultimately successful and my first profit target, 110.00, is actually being approached. Here we should be looking to close half the position and move our stop-loss to brief support around 107.00 or if you want to be really risky move it to the entry at 104.90. Below we offer a daily chart perspective to show the recent run up!!

I would say is about to revisit 108 sooner rather than later.

 

TW

 

U mean its gonna go down back to 108? i personally dont think thats gonna happen. Id rather say it'll be 109 sooner rather than later and then to the Holy Grail (the 110 mark) that everyone has been talking abt.

As for USDJPY I say...Stop being so afraid of 110.00, we all know the banks are going to take this pair to 115.00. I have a video posted (right side of page) that even tells us the likelihood and story of the trip. On a 60min chart we can see timid traders waiting for the banks to come back to this pair (and out of EURGBP) to send the price higher for us.

If you're like me and got in around 105.00 be strong and confident, wait, you'll be happy you did.

108.9 to 109.22 looks to be the only barrier in the way. If it is to move up.

There rapid fall of the yen to the 110 level is now causing concern. In the Nikkei Asia Review it was reported:

 

Discord emerges in Japan over yen's accelerated slide......The rapid depreciation of the yen in recent weeks has sparked concerns that the currency's slide against the dollar has gone too far. It

now appears the weak yen is creating more problems, rather than benefits for the economy.

How the mighty have fallen! Just a few weeks ago USD/JPY was racing towards 110.00 and the market was convinced that Fed rate hikes were on the way. But with US yields having fallen more than 30bps in the past month and with risk aversion running rampant, the pair has seen a swift decline and today broke below its former breakout point at 107.00. Tomorrow the market will get a glimpse at the US Retail Sales data which could prove to be the key event of the week. If the numbers surprise to the upside them the theme of lower oil prices and resurgent US consumer could put the bid back into the buck. But if the data once again misses to the downside the market is going to unwind the USD/JPY longs even more and the pair could test the 106.00 level next.

I think after hitting that long awaited 110 this pair did its purpose and now bulls are no more interested in this pair anymore after that mark has been reached.

Technicals are looking strong at this moment for the upside. Great consolidation around 108. Slight drop to 107.50 is possible with a max drop of 107 this week. However, climb back to 109 is far more likely come medium term.

    • Date: 29th March 2024. GBPUSD Analysis: The Pound Trades Higher But For How Long? The global Stocks Markets are closed due to Easter Friday (Good Friday). The NASDAQ continued to follow the sideways trend while other indices again rose. The SNP500 reaches an all-time high, but the NASDAQ remains under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple. The Euro continues to trade lower against all major currencies including the US Dollar, Euro and Japanese Yen. The British Pound is the best performing currency during this morning’s Asian session. However, investors are largely fixing their attention on this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. GBPUSD – The Pound Trades Higher but For How Long? The GBPUSD is slightly higher than the day’s open and is primary due to the Pound’s strong performance. At the moment, the British Pound is increasing in value against all major currencies. However, the US Dollar Index is also trading 0.10% higher and for this reason there is a slight conflict here. If investors wish to avoid this conflict, the EURUSD is a better option. This is because, the Euro depreciating against the whole currency market avoiding the “tug-of-war” scenario. The GBPUSD is trading slightly lower than the 2-month’s average price and is trading at 49.10 on the RSI. For this reason, the price of the exchange is at a “neutral” level and is signalling neither a buy nor a sell. The day’s price action and future signals are possibly likely to be triggered by this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. Analysts expect the Core PCE Price Index to read 0.3% which is slightly lower than the previous month but will result in the annual figure remaining at 2.85%. The PCE rate is different to the inflation rate and the Fed aims for a rate between 1.5% to 2.00%. Therefore, even if the annual rate remains at 2.85%, as analysts expect, it would be too high for the Fed. If the rate increases, even if only slightly, the US Dollar can again renew bullish momentum and the stock market can come under pressure. This includes the SNP500. Investors are focused on the publication of data on the UK’s gross domestic product (GDP) for the last quarter of 2023: the quarterly figures decreased by 0.3%, and 0.2% over the past 12-months. This confirms the state of a shallow recession and the need for stimulation. The data, combined with a cooling labor market and a steady decline in inflation, increase the likelihood that the Bank of England will soon begin interest rate cuts. In the latest meeting the Bank of England representatives did not see any members vote for a hike. USA500 – The SNP500 Rises to New Highs, But Cannot Hold Onto Gains! The price of the SNP500 rises to an all-time high, before correcting 0.33% and ending the day slightly lower than the open price. Nonetheless, the index performs better than the NASDAQ which came under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple which hold a higher weight compared to the SNP500. For the SNP500, these 3 stocks hold a weight of 9.25%, whereas the 3 stocks make up 14.63% of the NASDAQ. The SNP500 is also supported by ExxonMobil’s gains due to higher energy prices. The market will remain closed on Friday due to Easter. However, the market will reopen on Monday for the US and investors can expect high volatility. Investors will also need to take into consideration how the PCE Price Index and the changed value of the US Dollar is likely to affect the stock market next week.
