Japanese Yen Weakens Against USD, USD/JPY Continues to RiseThe Japanese Yen (JPY) weakened against the USD during the Asian trading session after the Bank of Japan's (BoJ) meeting minutes revealed a divide over the timing of interest rate hikes. Domestic political concerns and fears of potential protectionist trade measures from Donald Trump further weakened the JPY. Meanwhile, expectations that Trump's policies will drive inflation and limit the Federal Reserve's ability to ease further have supported the USD, helping the USD/JPY pair rise. Looking at the technical chart, the USD/JPY pair is also in an uptrend, trading around 153.33, up by 0.5%. Support at 152.23 is helping to strengthen the upward momentum, with resistance at 154.66. If the 152.23 support level holds, the USD/JPY pair could continue rising towards higher levels in the short term. However, investors should closely monitor technical signals and upcoming macroeconomic data to adjust their trading strategy accordingly.

USDJPYLooking at USD/JPY, we've been printing new highs, so with that trend in mind, we're focusing on long positions. We've set a target using external liquidity at the Asian high. Since then, there’s been a mini sell-off, but this seems to be part of normal price action. We also have a 45-minute demand zone with an imbalance that needs to be filled, supported by liquidity on the downside near the imbalance. Once price reaches and mitigates this 45-minute demand zone, I'll be looking for entry points on the lower timeframe.

Weekly Prediction and Recap from last weekWhat Happened This Week: The USD/JPY pair continued to trade within a bullish structure, reflecting overall dollar strength as expected. Despite facing a significant resistance level around 154.324, the pair did not convincingly break this level, indicating some selling pressure near this zone. The primary driver for the dollar's strength this week was anticipation around U.S. economic data and the upcoming Federal Reserve meeting, with an increasing probability of a rate hike. The market also digested political developments in the U.S. and their potential impact on dollar strength. The Japanese yen weakened further, hitting new three-month lows as economic conditions in Japan remain soft, and the Bank of Japan has shown no significant shift toward tightening monetary policy. On the daily chart, USD/JPY attempted multiple times to break above the 154.324 resistance level but was met with selling pressure, leading to consolidation near this level. The anchored volume resistance at 154.324 continues to act as a strong barrier, signaling that while bulls have momentum, they need more volume to push the price higher. Daily movements were influenced by U.S. dollar sentiment, with periods of volatility around news on U.S. interest rates and economic data. Updated Weekly Analysis for Upcoming Week Bullish Bias: USD/JPY remains in an uptrend on the weekly chart, supported by strong U.S. fundamentals and the prospect of a Fed rate hike. Key Resistance Level: The 154.324 level remains the critical barrier. If the pair closes above this level, it would confirm a breakout, opening the way to targets around 157.383 and 158.313. Consolidation Potential: If USD/JPY fails to break 154.324 again, we could see the pair consolidate between 152–154.324. A failure to break higher may also prompt a pullback toward the 150.000 level, which serves as strong weekly support. Bullish Continuation Scenario: If USD/JPY breaks and closes above 154.324 on the daily chart, it would signal potential continuation to the next resistance zone at 157.383. This breakout would align with the broader weekly uptrend, indicating increased bullish momentum. Bearish/Consolidation Scenario: If the price fails to break above 154.324, expect USD/JPY to potentially pull back toward daily support around 152.000 or lower. This would signal a period of consolidation, especially if the dollar faces any negative news or if U.S. yields stall. Risk Management and Final Thoughts Bullish Breakout Entry: Only consider a buy position if the price decisively closes above 154.324. Both daily and weekly close above this level would indicate stronger conviction among buyers. Patience on Rejection: If USD/JPY fails to close above 154.324, be prepared for possible consolidation or a pullback to lower levels. Avoid entering prematurely if the breakout isn’t clear. Stop-Loss Strategy: Given current volatility, it’s essential to keep SL tight near key support levels to protect against unexpected reversals, especially with major economic events upcoming.

USDJPY PANIC CYCLEUSDJPY is currently in the last year of the five-year cycle, repeated throughout this market's entire life cycle. The five-year cycle starts with a 4-year bull market and a 1-year panic correction. Should the 161.951 current top hold we would expect price to accumulate around the 151 price zone preparing for a quick decline toward the 125.8 zone for a total price of -360 pts. We expect Price to find support in August 2025. Considering both price and time our expected directional vector for the Five-year cycle will be 1695 units. The directional Price-Time Vector for the Five-year cycles has been in a range from 1659-1716 units. With the bull phase within a range of 1385-1406 units. A fractal nature has been observed in the 1903-1908 DJI market. The 1907 (rich man's) panic. Trade safe

Entry criteria Expecting an initial rise to entry before being rejected as per previous rejection at that level. Break and retest is the safest entry method.
