USDJPY Is Not Reversing Yet — This Is Distribution Before MOVEJPYUSD just shifted from an impulsive push into a tight distribution style range: price is printing lower highs + choppy overlaps under the marked resistance zone (~0.00651–0.00652) while repeatedly leaning on the support zone (~0.00643–0.00644) that’s classic “slow bleed” behavior where sellers absorb every bounce and liquidity builds at the floor. The yellow EMA (trend filter) is still rising underneath, but notice the structure: the market keeps rejecting the top, then steps down in smaller waves, which often precedes a support sweep → breakdown → acceleration as stops below support get triggered. Macro-wise, this setup makes sense because JPY is highly sensitive to U.S. yield direction and risk sentiment: if U.S. yields stay firm / the Fed stays restrictive, it tends to support USD and pressure JPY (JPYUSD lower), while any risk-off shock or a credible BoJ tightening narrative can flip flows back into JPY and fuel a rebound. That’s why the plan is simple and professional: bullish only if price reclaims and holds above ~0.00652 (acceptance, not just a wick), targeting the prior swing area, but bearish if we lose ~0.00643 cleanly, then look for continuation toward the EMA zone (~0.00641) and deeper liquidity around ~0.00635 because the real move usually starts after this range has baited both sides into taking early entries.
JPY Index — Reversal Signal Confirmed. EurJpy&GbpJpy in focusA week ago, I argued that a strong reversal could be next for JPY pairs, based on one key observation:
✅ the JPY Index was trading at an all-time low, but price action was contained inside a falling wedge — a pattern that often signals trend exhaustion and a reversal just around the corner.
And as always, the market did what it does best…
👉 it made one more new low, just to shake everyone out, before reversing.
🔥 Friday: The First Real Confirmation
Friday delivered a very important technical signal: a strong bullish engulfing candle
and even more importantly…
✅ a close above the descending trendline of the falling wedge
That’s a key detail, because wedge breaks matter only when the market accepts above the structure, not when it simply spikes and fades.
📈 Today: Gap Up and Strong Continuation
Today, the market opened with a clear gap above horizontal resistance and is trading strongly to the upside.
This is exactly how a real reversal begins:
- break the structure
- reclaim the level
- continue with momentum
✅ Going Forward: I Expect JPY Strength to Continue
From this point, I expect the JPY recovery / strength to extend further.
Which means my focus shifts to the pairs that can “pay” the best if JPY strengthens:
👉 EURJPY
👉 GBPJPY
📌 Trading Plan
My plan is simple:
✅ Sell rallies in EURJPY and GBPJPY as long as JPY strength remains the dominant theme.
If this reversal continues to develop, these crosses have the potential to deliver powerful downside corrections. 🚀
Selena | USDJPY · 4H – Ascending Channel Continuation SetupFX:USDJPY
After an impulsive bullish leg, price entered a controlled pullback and respected the internal demand zone. This behavior suggests trend continuation, not distribution. As long as price holds above channel support, bullish momentum remains intact.

🎯 Target 2: 160.50

Selena | USDJPY–Japenese Yen |Demand Hold After CHoCH |BUY SETUPFX:USDJPY
After breaking the previous internal bearish structure (CHoCH), price continued higher and formed higher highs and higher lows inside an ascending channel. A liquidity sweep below the channel followed by strong rejection suggests smart money accumulation. Price is now reacting from demand, favoring continuation toward upside liquidity and previous highs.
Key Scenarios
✅ Bullish Case 🚀
As long as price holds above the marked demand zone and channel support, continuation toward upper channel resistance and external liquidity remains the primary bias.
🎯 Target 1: Channel high
🎯 Target 2: Previous high / buy-side liquidity
🎯 Target 3: Trendline extension
❌ Bearish Case 📉
A clean breakdown and close below the demand zone and channel support would invalidate the bullish continuation and expose price to deeper retracement.
Current Levels to Watch
Resistance 🔴: 157.20 – 157.70
Support 🟢: Demand zone + channel base

Selena | USDJPY–4H|Bullish Channel, Compression Before ExpansionFX:USDJPY
USDJPY remains in a strong bullish market structure with higher highs and higher lows. The recent consolidation below resistance suggests liquidity build-up, not weakness. As long as price holds above the internal demand zone and channel support, upside continuation remains the higher-probability scenario. A shallow pullback would strengthen continuation rather than invalidate it.
Key Scenarios
✅ Bullish Case 🚀 → Holding above demand + channel support opens continuation toward higher liquidity zones above 160.00.
❌ Bearish Case 📉 → Clean breakdown and acceptance below channel support invalidates bullish bias and exposes a deeper corrective leg.

Selena | USDJPY 1H–Bullish Reversal Setup Toward 157.800 TargetFX:USDJPY
After an aggressive sell-off into 154.80–155.00 demand, USDJPY produced a strong impulsive recovery, reclaiming broken structure. Price is now compressing under the descending trendline and retesting the 155.50–155.70 entry zone, forming a potential higher-low setup. Bias remains bullish above this zone, aiming for a structural reversal toward major resistance.

USDJPY SHORT - BOJ RATE HIKEThe BOJ raised its short-term policy interest rate by 25 basis points to 0.75% from 0.50%. This marks the highest level in about 30 years (since 1995) and is the first rate hike since January 2025. The decision was unanimous and widely expected by markets and economists.
Due to this, we see JPY becoming stronger against other pairs despite the initial JPY weakness shortly after the hike.
Another short trade is EURJPY.
USDJPY – 30M | Break + Retest Setup Toward Liquidity TargetFX:USDJPY
Price is currently respecting a descending structure while building higher-lows along the trendline support. A successful break and hold above the 156.600–156.800 supply zone will confirm bullish continuation and shift structure.
If the breakout fails, price may retest the rising trendline (155.900–156.150) before pushing higher.

USD/JPY: Yen Strengthens Amid Policy ExpectationsThe Japanese Yen gains support from anticipated BoJ policy shifts, fostering a safer environment and limiting USD/JPY within lower USD demand. Investor focus on US economic data before FOMC minutes remains crucial.
Technically, breaching the 200-day SMA signals a USD/JPY downtrend. Daily chart indicators suggest potential further losses. Any upward movement could prompt selling near 142.00, leading to short-term profit-taking around 142.40 and targeting the 200-day SMA at 143.00.
Support lies at 141.00, guarding against declines toward recent lows near 140.25 and the psychological level of 140.00. A firm break below 141.00 may accelerate a decline towards 139.35, aiming for levels near 139.00, 138.75, and 138.00 (the July 28th low).
USD/JPY Approaches 141.30, Extending Two-Day Decline USD/JPY continues its downward trend for the second consecutive session, trading below the 141.30 level during the Asian hours on Thursday. Improved trade data from Japan in November has exerted pressure on the currency pair. However, less optimistic remarks from Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda may weigh on the Japanese Yen.
From a technical standpoint, the spot price indicates potential recovery below the 142.00 level and appears to have broken the two-day decline. This suggests that breaking below the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) is crucial support for bearish traders. Furthermore, oscillators on the daily chart remain deeply in negative territory, indicating limited resistance for USD/JPY on the downside. Any subsequent upward movement may still be viewed as a selling opportunity and is likely to be capped around the 142.75 level (200-day SMA). This implies that further buying activity leading to a move beyond the 143.00 level could trigger short-covering actions, allowing the bullish camp to reclaim the 144.00 milestone.
On the flip side, weakness below the Asian session's lowest levels around the 141.90-141.85 region would reaffirm the short-term trend and make USD/JPY susceptible to retesting below the 141.00 level, or the multi-month lows touched last week. Subsequent declines could potentially pull the spot price towards the intermediate support at 140.45 on the way to the psychological level of 140.00.
Japanese Yen Weakens on Soft Inflation, BoJ Policy UncertaintyThe Japanese Yen (JPY) faced a decline after softer domestic consumer inflation data, raising uncertainties about the Bank of Japan's (BoJ) potential policy tightening. BoJ's October meeting minutes revealed a consensus to maintain the accommodative policy, contributing to JPY weakness. The USD/JPY pair saw a modest recovery from weekly lows, supported by the USD's modest strength.
Japan's core CPI remains at 2% for the 20th consecutive month, and optimism about future wage growth suggests a potential shift in BoJ's stance. However, the market anticipates a more positive U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) policy easing in 2024, influenced by the U.S. Q3 GDP report. Investors are now watching the U.S. Core PCE Price Index for further guidance on USD/JPY short-term direction. Despite this, the fundamental outlook leans towards JPY strength, indicating a downside bias for the currency pair.
Japanese Yen Retreats on Soft Inflation, USD StrengthensFrom a technical standpoint, spot prices indicate a potential rebound below the 142.00 level, seemingly breaking the two-day downtrend. This suggests that the overnight break back below the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) is crucial support for bearish traders. Furthermore, oscillators on the daily chart remain firmly in negative territory, indicating minimal resistance for the USD/JPY pair on the downside. Therefore, any subsequent upward move may still be considered a selling opportunity and remains capped near the 142.75 level (200-day SMA). This implies that further buying activity, leading to a move beyond the 143.00 mark, could trigger short-covering actions and allow the bullish camp to reclaim the round figure of 144.00 in the short term.
On the flip side, weakness below the intraday low around the 141.90-141.85 region would reaffirm the short-term trend, making the USD/JPY pair vulnerable to a retest of the sub-141.00 level or the multi-month lows touched last week. The subsequent decline could potentially drive spot prices towards intermediate support at 140.45 on the way to the psychological milestone of 140.00.
"USD/JPY: Japanese Yen Halts Decline, Eyes US CPI Data"The Japanese Yen regained positive momentum in the Asian trading session on Tuesday. USD/JPY partially eroded some of the strong recovery seen in the past two days. Investors are awaiting the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) for fresh impetus ahead of the FOMC meeting on Wednesday.
From a technical standpoint, USD/JPY showed a certain degree of recovery last week at the crucial 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA). The subsequent move exceeded the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement of the recent decline from the vicinity of 152.00, or the YTD high, supporting bullish sentiments. However, the sharp rise during the day halted near the 200-hour SMA, now closing around the 146.50 level. This area will now play a crucial pivot point, and clearing it would allow the price to test the 50% Fibonacci level, around 146.80, and reclaim the 147.00 milestone.
Meanwhile, oscillators on the daily chart are deep in positive territory, supporting the potential for some upward action at higher levels. This suggests that the resistance at the 100-hour SMA, around 145.85, may now act to defend the downside just ahead of the psychological level of 145.00. Further selling pressure could push USD/JPY back towards the intermediate support zone of 144.55-144.50 on the way to the 144.00 mark. A convincing break below this level would be considered a strong bearish catalyst, paving the way for deeper losses.
On the other hand, the Japanese Yen (JPY) extends its downward trend for the second consecutive day, pushing the USD/JPY pair towards the 146.00 level during the European trading session on Monday. A report on Friday suggested that comments from Bank of Japan (BoJ) Governor Kazuo Ueda last week were misunderstood, and the central bank will maintain the status quo until positive wage inflation begins. This comes alongside weaker-than-expected GDP reports from Japan, indicating the domestic economy remains fragile and expectations of imminent rate hikes may be inflated.
Conversely, the US Dollar (USD) attracts some renewed buying interest after betting on an early Federal Reserve (Fed) policy easing was scaled back, proving to be another supportive factor for the USD/JPY exchange rate. Friday's closely watched US employment figures showed a rapid growth pace in November, with the unemployment rate dropping to 3.7%. This indicates signs of underlying strength in the labor market and suggests that current market pricing for a rate cut in March 2024 may be premature.
The recent sharp upward move seen around the USD/JPY pair in the past hour may be attributed to some technical buying based on sustained strength beyond the 100-hour Simple Moving Average (SMA). This suggests that concerns about a deeper global economic downturn and geopolitical risks may limit losses for the safe-haven JPY and restrict any further upside moves for the currency. Traders may also limit strong bets ahead of this week's significant event/data risks - US Consumer Price Index on Tuesday and the crucial FOMC policy decision on Wednesday."
USD/JPY Weakens on Fed Rate Cut Speculation and BoJ PivotThe Japanese Yen has surrendered recent gains against the US Dollar amidst speculation of a Fed rate cut in March and a shift in the Bank of Japan's (BoJ) policies. Despite a day-end recovery, USD/JPY experiences one of its worst trading days in over a year, dropping below 142.00 and closing just above 144.00.
Despite the intraday recovery, USD/JPY had one of its worst trading days in over a year, slipping below 140.00 in November last year. Throughout Thursday's trading session, USD/JPY transitioned from a slight decrease to a drop below the 200-day Simple Moving Average, requiring significant progress for a recovery towards the 147.00 handle. The 50-day SMA is currently positioned higher than the price action on Thursday, pushing towards the 114.90 region.
Expectations of a Fed rate cut weigh on the US Dollar
There is growing speculation that the Federal Reserve has concluded its rate hikes and will commence a rate cut in March, putting pressure on the US Dollar. In contrast, the Bank of Japan is expected to move away from extremely loose monetary policy in the coming months. This, coupled with risk aversion sentiment, offsets the safe-haven appeal of the Japanese Yen.
USD/JPY witnessed a more than 4% decline on Thursday, quickly dropping below 142.00 before larger markets staged a modest recovery, pulling the Japanese Yen (JPY) back into a reasonable price range. USD/JPY closed Thursday down by around 2%, while the Yen entered Friday's market session in the green for the week.
The Yen saw a broader market recovery following unconventional comments from Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda, unexpectedly hinting at the eventual end of BoJ's negative interest rate policy, possibly in the early part of next year.
