USDJPY | Perspective for the new week | Follow-up

FOREXCOM:USDJPY   U.S. Dollar / Japanese Yen
Things are heating up as the selling pressure surrounding this pair seems to be shifting gears. The US Dollar is riding high, boasting its loftiest daily close since March. What's fueling this surge? Well, it's all about the robust economic performance of the US economic docket.

Let's dive into the numbers—brace yourself for some impressive stats. The Producer Price Index (PPI) recently flexed its muscles, growing by 1.5% YoY. That's a notable leap from the prior reading of 0.8%, and it's left expectations trailing in the dust. Meanwhile, Retail Sales in August defied predictions, surging by 0.6% MoM, way above the estimated 0.2%. Not to be outdone, the US Department of Labor shared some encouraging news: weekly Initial Jobless Claims stood at a mere 220,000, down from 217,000, comfortably beating market consensus pegged at 225,000. These numbers collectively paint a picture of a resilient US economy and a notable rebound in inflation throughout August.

But here's the twist—the Federal Reserve (Fed) doesn't seem swayed by these developments. Market key player suggests that the Fed is likely to keep its interest rates steady at the upcoming meeting. In the background, the Fed's steadfast hawkish stance continues to give a nod to US bond yields and fortify the US Dollar's position—for now.

Now, let's pivot to the Japanese Yen's corner, where the plot thickens. The Bank of Japan (BoJ) has made its stance clear: they're not considering an exit from their ultra-easy policy unless wage and inflation data play ball. This leaves the JPY exposed to the maneuvers of its global rivals.

As we gear up for the upcoming week, we're bracing for a series of pivotal economic events, including the highly anticipated interest rate decisions from both sides of the Pacific. Stay tuned for the analysis that'll keep you ahead of the forex curve!

USDJPY Technical Analysis:
As highlighted in the video, the recent mild downward pressure is beginning to ease, and the odds of USD pulling back further have diminished. However, only a clear break of 147.950 will validate an uptrend continuation. In this video, we conducted an in-depth technical analysis of the USDJPY chart, carefully examining the current market structure which is evidently bullish. Our primary focus is within the key zone of 147.950, which will serve as our center of focus ahead of the upcoming week. The key level becomes an area of interest as buyers continue to knock this ceiling and a breakout/retest could incite a clear uptrend. 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.

Comment:
Despite the recent upward movement in price action, this week's trading began on a somewhat bearish note, as market activity has so far failed to breach the key level at the 147.950 zone discussed in the video. However, it's important to remain open to the possibility of a bullish resurgence.

To navigate the current market conditions, we've pinpointed a distinct trading range on the 1-hour timeframe. This range will serve as a valuable guide for our trading decisions. For an in-depth analysis and further insights, I invite you to join me in today's live session.

The market condition have been choppy, with investors refraining from taking large positions ahead of this week's pivotal central bank meetings. 🌊 However, amidst the uncertainty, there's a bullish momentum brewing. 📈 Price action decisively broke through the level we discussed in our live session yesterday at 147.720. 🚀 It's time to secure those positions, but keep a watchful eye for new trading opportunities

During the Asian session, the USDJPY surged to it's highest in over a week, marking a significant breakout above our identified key level for the week at 147.950. This level corresponds to the upper resistance boundary of the ascending triangle we've pinpointed on the higher timeframe. The breakout sets a bullish tone, suggesting a potential continuation of the uptrend.

With the technical setup clearly favoring bullish traders, the outlook supports the possibility of an extension of the recent upward move. It's advisable to secure all existing buy positions as we remain on the lookout for additional trading opportunities in the market.
