Potential bullish breakout in play on USD/JPYTokyo has just opened and we see futures traders shorting the yen with decent volume, which suggests institutions have a bearish bias today on the local currency. This has pushed USD/JPY up to a 4-day high, and keeps a bull-flag breakout in play on the 1-hour chart. The flag projects a target around 135.50, but we're looking for prices to retrace towards the 113.17 high for a potential long to increase the reward to risk ratio. Note that the sideways oscillation formed a triple bottom around 134.63, before a higher low formed around 135 / 200-bar EMA to show an increase in bullish activity - which favours an upside break from its sideways range.

USDJPY: The seller is back!Fundamental Overview Over the last two decades, the US Dollar's share of the global market has declined from 71 percent to 59 percent, and there is a possibility of further reduction in the future. This decline has an adverse impact on the United States as currency usage in the global trade market works on a zero-sum basis. When other currencies like Yuan, real, or Rupee are used in global trade, it reduces the usage of the US dollar. If the credible alternatives of the US dollar get popular, it will weaken America's dominance in the global market. US Dollar's position as the primary global reserve currency is being challenged Plan trade in the intro ♥

USD/JPY: Rebound during today' session?From a technical point of view, some consolidation swing is possible on small time frames (15'). As we can see on 15' chart, the FX:USDJPY pair may have developed an impulsive structure (12345). With this in mind, a bullish leg can appear during today's session with a first Target around 136. The market is waiting for the FOMC decision so be careful during this important event. This is a speculative setup (scalp) and requires experience and good risk management.

USDJPY POTENTIAL LONG FORMATION IN PROGRESSWe have been looking at this pair and waiting for various patterns to form which will assist us to form a basis for the potential direction of the pair. Our trades are based on the higher time frame trend, being the weekly and monthly charts in order to avoid excessive noise of the lower time frames. We can see that the pair remains bullish despite the pair showing bearish price action on the lower time frames, hence we are only looking for buying opportunities until further notice. With this being said we have managed to spot a buying opportunity due to the following reasons listed below: 1: Trendline breakout 2: Double bottom pattern formation. We are still waiting for two more confluence factors to form before we consider looking for entries. These have been listed below: 1: Key-level breakout which signals a change in market structure from bearish and bullish 2: Entry will be on a retest of key level area.

USDJPY: Buyer's Opportunity!Fundamental Overview The USD Index, which follows the performance of the US dollar against other currencies, has declined and is impacting the USD/JPY pair. There are concerns about the banking sector crisis in the US, a potential recession, and the US debt ceiling, leading to speculation that the Federal Reserve may cut interest rates later this year. As a result, US Treasury bond yields are decreasing, causing the US dollar to weaken. Plan trade in the intro ♥

Long USDJPYI'm going long here just above 134 on USDJPY. I failed on two previous attempts around 133.63 (38.2 retracement) and got stopped out with much tighter stops. I still like USDJPY long currently based on a fundamental bias with COT data showing 63% of institutions are long USD and 83% are short JPY. In addition, US GDP and interest rates outweight the JPY. From a technical standpoint, we have a fairly strong uptrend in play currently throughout 2023 with a nice channel showing some nice reactions along this slope. Specifically, we recently saw support hold around 134, and some bullish price action just below that around 133.50 with a break and retest back above 134. In my opinion, this is a bullish signal that could warrant a move back to 135 or 135.50. I have a stop just below structure around 133.25 and I took two separate positions which I will plan to close half of at 135 and then trail stops on the remaining half. Longer term view Break and retest on on the 30m
