USDJPY | Perspective for the new week | Follow-up
The USDJPY landscape is a complex interplay of monetary policy divergence between the US and Japan, actively influencing the Yen's weakening. Yet, optimism surrounding the peak of US interest rates introduces an intriguing caveat to the Greenback's ascent. Federal Reserve minutes unveiled this week emphasize a consensus among committee members about "significant upside risks to inflation", amplifying the allure of further tightening.
Amid robust economic data – particularly retail sales – a compelling case for heightened tightening unfolds. Meanwhile, market participants exercise caution, mindful of potential FX intervention by the Bank of Japan (BoJ), evoking memories of last year's intervention triggered by similar price action levels.
The yen's depreciation heightens vigilance, with traders poised for possible Japanese authority intervention. As attention shifts to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where top central banks gather annually, all eyes are on Fed Chair Jerome Powell's upcoming speech. Anticipated next Friday, Powell's address is a golden opportunity for insights into the interest rate outlook, potentially laying the groundwork for the Fed's next policy steps.
USDJPY Technical Analysis:
In this video, we conduct an in-depth technical analysis of the USDJPY chart, carefully examining the current market structure. Our primary focus is still within the key zone of 145.000, which will serve as our center of focus ahead of the upcoming week. As price action remains within this zone, it becomes an area of interest that has led to choppy consolidation before a clear direction emerges. The market's reaction around this area at the beginning of the new week will heavily influence the trajectory of price action in the days to come.

The bullish outlook remains intact as price action holds above the identified ascending trendline on the 1-hour timeframe. However, two critical factors require attention at this point:
i. Persistent selling pressure near the 146.300 level, posing a resistance.
ii. Price currently sits at a significant confluence (ascending trendline and 145.950 level), presenting an equilibrium between buyers and sellers.
As a strategic move, we'll secure existing buy positions and closely observe market behavior within this pivotal zone, while considering that a breakdown/retest of this zone could incite selling opportunities.
Good Morning

Trade closed manually:
Having capitalized on a 300-pip decline through 5 sell positions, we now observe price action undergoing a retracement phase. My assessment points toward a continuation of the downtrend as today's prevailing theme, provided price activity remains situated below the confines of the descending trendline. Nonetheless, it is prudent to recognize the influence of upcoming economic events that possess the capacity to challenge this technical outlook. As we stand at this crucial juncture, exercising discretion in our trading choices is pertinent. Should the price break/retest the descending trendline, we will consider the possibility of exploring buying potentials.

As discussed during our live session this morning; price action breaks out of both the descending trendline and the 145.490 level to trigger a buy position; secure both buy positions as we anticipate Durable Goods Order and Initial Jobless Claim data from the US economic docket coming up in 5 minutes from now.
Trade active:
Price action continues its climb, marking a second consecutive day of new highs. This upward movement is bolstered by a Tokyo CPI print that aligns with the BoJ's dovish stance, further weakening the Yen. With approximately 90 pips accrued across three positions, it's prudent to secure all positions. We remain vigilant for potential buying opportunities ahead of today's events.
