USDJPY Is this the end of wave 4?The Elliott Wave Principle suggests a guideline of alternation between corrective waves, particularly between wave 2 and wave 4 of an impulsive wave sequence. This principle helps us identify the nature and behavior of these waves to better understand market structure. These alternations may occur in many forms, for example: Nature of corrections (sharp or shallow), Depth of correction, Structure of correction (flat or triangle, combinations etc) and Time duration of correction (quick or longer corrections). The alternation helps us anticipate the likely form of wave 4 based on wave 2’s behavior to enhance forecasting accuracy. So from these theory of alternation together with the rules around the wave principle, Looking at USDJPY at this level of price we have reached the deepest level of correction wave 4 can go. If the formation is correct, then wave 4 should not go beyond the red line. It made sense to me to take a short at the 50% fib retracement to tighten the SL however it is advisable to wait for confirmations, so saying I do believe there is still a plenty of chance for entry.

Lingrid | USDJPY Optimal ZONE to SHORT the MarketThe price perfectly fulfilled my previous idea. It hit the TP level. FX:USDJPY is currently pulling toward the resistance zone and appears to be forming an ABC pattern upward, indicating a complex pullback. Given that the overall trend is still bearish, I anticipate that the market may move down to retest the support level. The price previously consolidated above this zone before breaking through, highlighting its significance. Therefore, I expect the market to rebound from the resistance and then retest the middle of the range zone, where we might see further reactions as traders assess the potential for continuation or reversal. My goal is support zone around 150.235 Traders, if you liked this idea or if you have your own opinion about it, write in the comments. I will be glad 👩‍💻

USD/JPY Sell Setup: Strategy OverviewTechnical Insight: Current Market Position: The USD/JPY is hovering around a critical resistance level at 157.719, with historical data showing a struggle to break above 160.000. Price Action: The chart indicates a recent failed breakout attempt, now acting as a potential reversal signal. This is highlighted by the downward arrows, suggesting a sell-off after hitting resistance. Fundamental Backdrop: US Economic Health: Stronger than expected economic data from the US, especially employment and inflation figures, could bolster the USD. However, any dovish signals from the Fed might weaken the dollar. Japanese Economic Factors: Japan's economic policies, particularly any intervention by the Bank of Japan (BoJ) to weaken the yen, could play a role in the currency's valuation against the dollar. Trading Strategy: Sell Entry: Optimal entry would be on a confirmed rejection from the current resistance, ideally with a bearish candlestick pattern or a significant wick at the top. Profit Targets: Primary Target: Aim for a sell-off to 151.350, a level where the price found previous support. Secondary Target: If momentum continues, look towards 151.000, which could serve as a deeper support level. Risk Management: Stop Loss: Set above the recent high at 151.870 to protect against unexpected bullish moves. Position Sizing: Calculate your position size based on the distance to the stop loss, ensuring it aligns with your risk management rules. Additional Considerations: Market Sentiment: Monitor global market sentiment. A shift towards risk aversion often sees capital flows into the yen, potentially strengthening it against the dollar. Geopolitical Events: Keep an eye on any geopolitical developments that might affect either the US or Japan's currency, such as trade negotiations or regional conflicts. Conclusion: The USD/JPY pair offers a strategic sell opportunity based on both technical resistance and potential fundamental shifts. Ensure your trading decisions are informed by both these aspects and manage risk appropriately. This setup, while not guaranteed, provides a structured approach based on current market conditions. Always remember to stay updated with real-time market news and adjust your strategy as needed.

USDJPY is currently trading at around 151.800 after making its correction down to 150.400 . Scenario 1: SELLS from higher levels (153.300) We are at 153.300. That would confirm our pullback to the uspide and as long as it’s respected, we should continue to the downside to our next KL (Key Level) sitting at 150.400.

USDJPY 1st 1D Golden Cross since June 2023! Bullish!The USDJPY pair has been trading within a long-term Channel Up since the October 21 2022 High.

USD/JPY Analysis: Recovery Amidst Economic ShiftsThe US Dollar (USD) continues to make gains against the Japanese Yen (JPY), particularly following an upward revision of Japan's GDP for the third quarter. As a result, the USD/JPY pair has climbed back above the 150.45 level while I write this article. The Yen is facing some selling pressure, significantly influenced by growing uncertainties about the Bank of Japan's (BoJ) potential interest rate hikes in December, which has contributed to the JPY's underperformance against its USD counterpart. From a technical analysis viewpoint, the recent price rebound has occurred in a notable demand area on the weekly chart, where the currency pair has shown a decisive response. The price action suggests that there is strong buying interest in this zone, which may set the stage for further upward movement in the USD. Interestingly, seasonal forecasts hint at a possible bearish trend based on historical data over the last ten years. However, the current market dynamics and the way the price has reacted to the demand area indicate that there might be the potential for upward momentum for the USD in the near term. Additionally, geopolitical tensions and concerns surrounding incoming US President-elect Donald Trump's anticipated trade tariffs add another layer of complexity to the situation. Such uncertainties regarding trade policies are likely to support the Japanese Yen as a safe-haven currency, but the evolving landscape could limit significant downside movements. As investors prepare for the upcoming US consumer inflation figures, many may choose to remain on the sidelines. These data points will be crucial, as they could provide insight into the Federal Reserve’s trajectory regarding interest rate cuts, which in turn could enhance market momentum for the USD/JPY pair. With the current technical setup and market sentiment, we are keenly observing for a long entry point in the USD/JPY pair. As the economic landscape evolves and we gather more data, this strategy may provide advantageous opportunities for traders looking to capitalize on potential USD strength against the Yen. In summary, amidst the shifts in economic indicators and geopolitical challenges, the USD/JPY pair is positioned for potential upward movement, marking an exciting time for traders in this currency market. ✅ Please share your thoughts about USD/JPY in the comments section below and HIT LIKE if you appreciate my analysis.

USD/JPY Technical Analysis The price is currently testing the upper boundary of the ascending channel near 152.40, which acts as a critical resistance level. If this resistance holds, the pair may see a retracement towards the midline support around 151.10. Key Points: Resistance at 152.40: This level represents the upper boundary of the channel, and a rejection here could initiate a downward movement. Support at 151.10: The midline of the channel serves as the first significant support level if the price starts to decline from the resistance zone. Technical Indicators: The price is extended and approaching overbought levels, suggesting the potential for a pullback. Key moving averages and Ichimoku components indicate the possibility of short-term corrective moves. Conclusion: As long as 152.40 resistance remains intact, the price is likely to decline towards the 151.10 support level. Traders should watch for confirmation of rejection at the resistance before taking positions.

USDJPY | Market outlookThe dollar was little changed against the yen on Friday as investors digested a mixed U.S. jobs report. U.S. nonfarm payrolls rose by 227,000 jobs in November, following a revised increase of 36,000 in October. While the report showed stronger-than-expected job growth, the unemployment rate edged up to 4.2%. Analysts suggest the data supports the view that the U.S. is not heading into a recession, reinforcing expectations for the Federal Reserve's rate-cutting path. Markets are pricing in an 88% chance of a rate cut at the Fed's upcoming meeting.
