USDJPY: Odds In Favor Of USD! 118.00 A Real Possibility in 2022

Long
FX:USDJPY   U.S. Dollar / Japanese Yen
For 2022, many financial banks are predicting the USDJPY to HIT 118.00 level. Tonight the FED guidance path for next year could likely clear the path for USDJPY to move higher next year. Tight tapering and 2 interest rates hikes have already been priced in by the markets in 2022, should the economic data be strong as expected next year on month to month basis, we could see USDJPY slowly inch closer to the desired target of 118.000.

Furthermore, the covid-19 crisis around the world seems to be easing off, as the new variant would likely not pose too much threat because of the effectiveness of current available vaccines. With major economies expected to slowly recover next year, the demand for safehaven YEN should ease off considerably. We should also see the commodities currencies appreciate against the YEN in this aspect.

All in all, the odds for USDJPY to climb next year are pretty much set and any major DIP would be seen as an opportunity to BUY. Technically the rising dynamic trendline should act as a concrete support in this scenario. To technically trade this LONG opportunity, it would be wise to wait for the monthly candle to close above 115.000 first so as to confirm that the particular resistance has indeed been broken. After this, a LONG trade can be taken with stops below the rising trendline and targets at 118.00 region. Keep in mind to manage the risk as the RR should ideally be 1:1
