USDJPY trade ideas

USDJPY extends recovery from key supports, US Retail Sales eyedUSDJPY rises the most among the G10 currency pairs early Tuesday while stretching the previous day’s recovery from an upward-sloping support line from late December 2023 and the 50-SMA. Adding strength to the Yen pair’s rebound is the improvement in the RSI (14) line. However, the bearish MACD signals and the 21-SMA hurdle, currently around 160.00, challenge the bulls ahead of the US Retail Sales for June. Apart from the short-term Simple Moving Average (SMA), an 11-week-old horizontal resistance area surrounding 160.30 will also tame the pair’s further upside. It’s worth mentioning that multiple tops marked since the start of July and ascending trend line from late April, respectively near 161.80 and 162.35, act as the final defense of the pair sellers. Meanwhile, 50-SMA and the aforementioned ascending trend line from late December 2023, close to 157.90 and 157.60 in that order, put a floor under the USDJPY pair for a short term. In a case where the Yen pair closes beneath 157.60, it becomes vulnerable to test the previous monthly low of around 154.50. However, May’s low of 151.85 and early 2024 peak surrounding 150.80, quickly followed by the 150.00 threshold, will challenge the sellers afterward. To sum up, USDJPY remains in a bullish trend ahead of the key US data but the upside room appears limited.

USDJPY rebounds from 157.80-75 support confluence, US data eyedUSDJPY pares the biggest daily loss in 10 weeks early Friday as traders await more clues for easing price pressure in the US, namely preliminary readings of the University of Michigan’s (UoM) Consumer Sentiment Index (CSI) and Consumer Inflation Expectations for July. It should be noted that a one-year low of the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) drowned the Yen pair the previous day while mixed Japan statistics and the market’s consolidation favored the quote’s latest recovery. That said, a convergence of the 50-SMA and bottom line of a 2.5-month-old rising wedge bearish chart formation, around 157.80-75, recently triggered the pair’s rebound as RSI took a U-turn from the below-50 zone. However, bearish MACD signals could join the 160.20-30 region comprising highs and lows marked since April to challenge the bulls before directing them to the fresh high since 1986, which in turn highlights the aforementioned wedge’s top line surrounding 162.25. On the flip side, the USDJPY pair’s inability to defend the latest rebound will shift focus back to the 157.80-75 key support. Following that, an upward-sloping trend line support from late December 2023, close to 157.30 at the latest, will be the last defense of the buyers. In a case where the Yen pair remains bearish past 157.30, its subsequent fall to the previous monthly low near 154.50 and then to May’s bottom surrounding 151.85 can’t be ruled out. That said, the 150.00 psychological magnet will be the final post for the sellers to conquer ahead of gaining the throne. To sum up, USDJPY remains in a bullish trajectory despite the previous day’s heavy fall. The downside move needs validation from 157.30 and the US/Japan fundamentals.

USDJPY grinds within a fortnight-old bullish channelUSDJPY stays mildly bid around 161.00 early Monday as traders await the key US data/events scheduled for release during the week. In doing so, the Yen pair defends the previous three-week uptrend while approaching the highest level since 1986, marked the last week, by being within a fortnight-long bullish trend channel. It’s worth noting, however, that the nearly overbought RSI conditions and the sluggish MACD signals could join the market’s cautious mood and recently firmer Japan data to challenge the buyers around the multi-year high. The latest peak of nearly 161.30 appears an immediate upside hurdle to watch during further advances. Following that, the aforementioned rising trend channel’s top line surrounding 161.60 may test the bulls targeting the late 1986 high of 164.50. Conversely, a convergence of the bullish channel’s bottom line and the year 1990’s high, close to 160.40, appears a tough nut to crack for the USDJPY bears. Even if the Yen pair sellers manage to conquer the 160.40 hurdle, April’s peak of 160.20 and the 160.00 psychological magnet will challenge the sellers before giving them control. In a case where the quote remains bearish past 160.00, the 1.5-month-old resistance-turned-support and the 100-bar Exponential Moving Average (EMA), respectively near 159.60 and 158.75, will be the last defense of the buyers. Overall, the USDJPY pair remains within a bullish trajectory but the buyers are likely to have a long and bumpy road ahead.

USDJPY eases within the bullish channel, sellers await 159 breakUSDJPY defends the previous day’s retreat from a two-month high as traders await Tuesday’s US Confederation Board’s (CB) Consumer Confidence figures for June. In doing so, the Yen pair remains mildly offered between the upper line of a seven-week-old rising trend channel and an upward-sloping previous resistance line stretched from early May. It’s worth noting, however, that the RSI’s pullback from the overbought territory joins a receding bullish power of the MACD signals to suggest further declines of the quote. The same highlights the aforementioned resistance-turned-support line surrounding 159.00 as a break of which will welcome sellers targeting a two-month-old horizontal support zone surrounding 157.90-70. However, the bears should remain cautious unless witnessing a daily closing beneath the 156.30 support confluence comprising the 50-SMA and bottom line of the previously stated bullish trend channel. Following that, the quote’s weakness toward the monthly low of 154.52 can’t be ruled out. On the contrary, USDJPY bulls should wait for a clear rejection of the bullish trend channel by providing a daily closing beyond 160.00. Even so, the yearly high of 160.20 and the 1990 peak surrounding 160.40 will join the overbought RSI conditions to challenge the buyers before directing them to the 161.00 round figure. If the Yen pair remains firmer past 161.00, the late 1986 peak of around 163.95 and 164.00 will be on the buyer’s radar. Overall, USDJPY remains in the bullish trajectory despite the likelihood of a short-term pullback in the prices.

USDJPY: Outlook is still bullish!USD/JPY is trading near 159.00 early Friday, below its highest level since April. Japan's verbal intervention provides support for the Japanese Yen amid BoJ uncertainty over interest rate hikes and mixed national CPI data. US Dollar recovery slows ahead of key PMI data. From a purely technical standpoint, the trend is bullish across all timeframes and with the saying that “the trend is your friend” it is more likely to continue higher. USD/JPY is currently trading at 158.50 as it continues to rise in the ascending channel.
