There is possibly no bigger trading event this week than the Bank of Japan’s decision on Monday. The groundwork for abandoning negative interest rates has been subtly laid since last year, and now, this could very well be the month they choose to make their move. The prospect of ending a policy entrenched for nearly two decades could significantly move the...

#USDJPY The price came out of that 4h trend, but we don't have a LL on 1D, which made the price pump from the support of 145, at this moment the week closed with a resistance rejection . on 4h, respectively of the former trend line, on Tuesday morning we have the BOJ R-interest.
Next week's Federal Reserve interest rate decision possibly just got a lot more interesting. Last night we got PPI data. In February, the producer price index, a key gauge of wholesale inflation, surged by 0.6%, surpassing expectations by more than double. The big question now is whether traders will reassess their expectations for the timing of a Fed rate...
Starting to see Yen strength materialise, with the BoJ looking to get out of the current cycle. Surely Yen can't go much lower against all of the G10, so expecting some moves in the coming week. We've been failing at the 171.8 high for weeks so this looks like consolidation to me now, ready for a push down. Starting this week with the CHF PCI data this...

The Japanese yen is showing limited movement on Monday. In the European session, USD/JPY is trading at 150.34, up 0.13%. Japan releases Tokyo Core CPI, considered the most important inflation indicator, on Tuesday. The index fell to 1.6% y/y in January, below expectations and the lowest rate since May 2022, but the market estimate for February stands at...
There's not much in the way of this move from what I can see. Yen continues to be the weakest currency in the G10 (for now, BoJ look set to intervene at some point this year) and for the short term I expect this to continue to meet the descending long-term trendline that's formed. I'll be looking for sells around 115 with any LTF confirmation, but until then I'm...
Overview Most Yen pairs are at or nearing key resistance on daily, weekly, and monthly time-frames. The Details The Yen continues to weaken against global currencies due to negative interest rates set by the Bank of Japan (BOJ) and higher interest rates from the RBA, RBNZ, ECB, BOE, SNB, FED, etc. The BOJ are edging closer to changing rates to zero or...
Could the USDJPY correct further to the downside, with DXY weakness dragging it lower? Despite potential downside on the USDJPY, i'd still prefer to look for buying opportunities while the BOJ's monetary policy continues to diverge from the FOMC. (who knows how long this will last) Look for a potential bounce on the USDJPY a the 149.60 (interim support and 23.6%...
GJ giving some nice areas for potential moves, mainly i can see we are using the short term lows as a clear area to build up liquid for a deeper retracement, if this move does take place it will shift us back into a bearish swing range as the 5min price action is currently sitting within a bullish range, this range isn't the strongest but is still valid in terms...

The GBP/USD exchange rate fluctuates in a narrow channel just above 1.2700 on Monday. The rebound of the major pair is supported by a positive risk environment. However, the increasing tension in the Red Sea could increase demand for safe-haven assets and limit the upside potential of the pair. GBP/USD experienced a rebound in the second half of the previous week,...
