USDJPY
Would Firm Treasury Yield Continue to Support USDJPY?Fundamental approach:
- USDJPY edged higher this week amid resilient US growth signals and firm Treasury yields, while dovish-leaning BoJ communication kept Japanese rates anchored. Risk sentiment was mixed ahead of Fed minutes and Jackson Hole.
- US data and Fed repricing supported the US dollar as markets weighed sticky services momentum and steady consumption into Jul, focusing on how minutes may shape Sep cut odds.
- In Japan, authorities maintained vigilance on FX moves and inflation normalization, but BoJ policy settings and modest wage/inflation follow-through limited Yen support.
- USDJPY could remain supported if Fed minutes and Jackson Hole skew hawkish, while any signs of softer US demand or a stronger BoJ tilt could cap gains. Upcoming US PMIs and durable goods, plus Tokyo CPI, may recalibrate rate differentials.
Technical approach:
- USDJPY is sideways above the key support at 147.00. The price is slightly above both EMAs and within the ascending channels, indicating a potential upward movement.
- If USDJY remains above 147.00 and both EMAs, the price may retest the resistance at 148.60.
- On the contrary, closing below support at 147.00 may prompt a decline to retest the following support at 146.00, which is confluent with the ascending channel's lower bound.

Everything’s Aligned: USDJPY Buy Setup Locked and LoadedHey friends 👋
I’ve prepared a fresh USDJPY analysis for you.
I’m planning to open a buy position around 146.631 or 146.451, targeting the 147.700 level.
Also, today’s upcoming U.S. economic data will play a key role from a fundamental analysis perspective.
Every single like you send is my biggest source of motivation to keep sharing these insights. Huge thanks to everyone supporting me 🙏
Nikkei 225 & USD/JPY AnalysisThe Nikkei 225 has reached new all-time highs (almost reaching 44,000), driven by strong domestic economic indicators and robust corporate earnings.
The yen has strengthened against the US dollar, influenced by
1) speculation over the timing of a rate cut from the FOMC, and
2) the Bank of Japan's hawkish stance and expectations of interest rate hikes.
(narrowing of monetary policy between the two countries)
Historically, a weaker yen (rising USD/JPY - thin blue line) has been beneficial for Japanese exporters, leading to increased corporate earnings and, consequently, a rising Nikkei 225.
But, at times, this inverse relationship has shown signs of divergence.
The current divergence between the USDJPY and the Nikkei 225 suggests that the Nikkei 225 is increasingly driven by domestic economic factors rather than the traditional USD/JPY correlation.
In the short term, the Nikkei 225 may continue its upward momentum, supported by strong economic fundamentals and investor confidence.
With the price breaking out and staying above the upward channel, climbing toward the 45,000 price level.
Medium-Term Risks: Potential geopolitical tensions and shifts in global economic conditions could introduce volatility in the medium term. This could lead to a retracement down to 42,000 before trading higher again.
While the traditional correlation has weakened, ongoing monitoring of USD/JPY movements remains essential, as significant fluctuations could still impact investor sentiment.
USDJPY The Target Is DOWN! SELL!
My dear subscribers,
USDJPY looks like it will make a good move, and here are the details:
The market is trading on 147.73 pivot level.
Bias - Bearish
My Stop Loss - 147.86
Technical Indicators: Both Super Trend & Pivot HL indicate a highly probable Bearish continuation.
Target - 147.44
About Used Indicators:
The average true range (ATR) plays an important role in 'Supertrend' as the indicator uses ATR to calculate its value. The ATR indicator signals the degree of price volatility.

USD/JPY: Liquidity Hunts Inside the RangeHello guys.
After the sharp drop at the end of July, USD/JPY has been consolidating inside a well-defined range. We’ve now seen two classic liquidity hunts:
Hunt 1 (top of range): Price spiked above resistance, took stops, and quickly rejected.
Hunt 2 (bottom of range): Price swept liquidity below support before bouncing back inside the range.
This type of price action suggests accumulation of orders before the next expansion.
Currently, price is rebounding from the second liquidity hunt, showing signs of strength. If buyers can hold above the 146.80 range low, we may see continuation toward the 149.04 resistance zone, which is the next liquidity pool above.
Levels to Watch:
Support: 146.80 (range low)
Resistance: 148.00 (mid-range resistance)
Target: 149.04
Short-term bullish as long as 146.80 holds. A clean break above 148.00 could open the path to 149.04.
USDJPY Next Week | Short From 147.56 Targeting Liquidity SweepHere’s my outlook for USDJPY in the coming week.
If price rises to around 147.56 in the early part of next week (Aug 18–22), I believe it’s a good area to consider going short. This level has acted as resistance several times recently, and I expect it could hold once again.
If price fails to reach 147.56, I won’t take the trade — in that case, the risk-to-reward profile would likely deteriorate, and I prefer to avoid setups where my predefined advantage is weakened.
The stop loss should be placed above the white line. From experience, once price breaks above that line, it often continues to take out the highs above it. That’s why I believe placing a stop here is both reasonable and sufficient.
The purple line below marks a level where I expect price could extend to if it sweeps the liquidity (stop losses) resting around recent lows. This purple line is located roughly halfway between the previous low and the nearby high beneath it. Based on my years of trading experience, when price breaks a low, it rarely reverses immediately; more often, it continues a bit further before turning around.
For that reason, I allow a small buffer and set my take profit around the 0.382 Fibonacci level between those two price points.
My plan is to hold the short position until that level, then take profit and start looking for a potential long setup from there.
In my view, 147.56 is likely to be reached sometime next week, so I will post an update once we see how the market reacts.
This trade setup gives a risk-to-reward ratio of 6.5. Without including fees, the breakeven win rate for this trade would be approximately 13.33%. Knowing these figures in advance helps me avoid emotional trading.
If you often find yourself trading based on emotions, I recommend doing this type of pre-planning and quantifying your setups before execution — it can be a simple yet highly effective improvement.
I’ll be sharing updates on how this idea plays out, so if you want to follow along and see the outcome, consider following me here on TradingView.

Big Bounce from 146.20! Is USDJPY Heading for 149.00?The USDJPY 4H chart is showing signs of recovery after a period of volatility. Price recently bounced from the 146.20–146.70 support zone 🛡️, which has acted as a strong demand area multiple times in the past week. Buyers have stepped in strongly from that level, and the pair is now trading around 147.60–147.85, pushing upward with a constructive bullish structure.
Looking at the broader picture, USDJPY had been under pressure earlier, printing lower highs and testing deeper supports. However, the rejection near 146.20 marks a potential swing low formation 🔄, as price immediately rallied higher with strong bullish candles. Importantly, the market has shifted above the mid-level 147.20–147.40 area, turning it into a short-term base for buyers.
On the upside, the immediate resistance 🚧 lies at 147.85–148.00, which is already being tested. A breakout above this zone would expose the higher resistance at 148.52, a key level where sellers previously rejected price. If bulls clear 148.52 decisively, the next possible leg could target the 149.00 handle, a psychological level and prior supply zone.
The trade setup 🎯 as shown on the chart is structured with bullish bias:
• Entry: Around 147.60–147.85 (already activated)
• Stop Loss (SL): Near 147.18 (just below recent consolidation base 🛡️)
• Target (TP): First target near 148.00–148.10, extended target at 148.52 🚀
This gives a risk-to-reward ratio better than 2:1 ✅, which is favorable for continuation trades.
The structure also shows multiple “Buy (B)” markers clustering at the bottom around 146.20–146.70, confirming that dip-buying interest is strong. On the other hand, the “Sell (S)” markers above 148.50 highlight the importance of this resistance zone. Bulls need strong momentum to flip this level; otherwise, price may stall temporarily.
In terms of strategy, the bullish trade remains valid as long as USDJPY holds above 147.20. Traders can consider booking partial profits 💰 near 148.00 and leaving the rest toward 148.50. Once price moves in profit, it’s wise to trail the stop-loss 🔒 to breakeven or slightly in the green to protect against sudden pullbacks.
✅ Conclusion:
USDJPY is looking bullish in the short term 📈 after bouncing from 146.20–146.70 support. A move toward 148.00–148.50 is favored, with potential extension toward 149.00 if momentum stays strong. However, active risk management is key—secure small profits at intermediate levels and trail stops as the trend progresses.

USDJPY Sell Setup – Watching 147.600 Key Zone Next WeekHey Traders,
In the coming week, I’m monitoring USDJPY for a potential sell opportunity near 147.600.
Trend: Still in a clear downtrend.
Current move: Price is correcting upward into resistance.
Key level: 147.600 – a major support-turned-resistance area.
If price rejects this zone with confirmation, it could resume the bearish move. I’ll be looking for signs of weakness (candlestick rejection, momentum shift) before entering.
What do you think? Will USDJPY hold below 147.600 or push higher first?
Trade safe,
Joe

WISH YOU ALL LUCK
SCENARIO STUDY: Bullish or Bearish?Hello fellow traders! Here’s a fresh, USD/JPY plan that blends 4-hour technicals with today’s macro/news flow, plus the most recent trader and bank sentiment. Time to get happy!
USD/JPY for Aug 15, 2025, U.S. morning/afternoon
4H structure: After a slide that tested ~146.2–146.4 support, the USD/JPY keeps running into 147.8 and 148.5 as notable 4H hurdles.
Macro/news today: U.S. PPI (July) surprised hotter, cooling talk of a 50 bp Fed cut (market leans 25 bp for Sep 17); Japan Q2 GDP beat aided the yen and BoJ-hike chatter.
BoJ backdrop: July meeting opinions/outlook show a cautious tightening bias and discussion of resuming hikes; 10-yr JGB around ~1.5%.
Positioning & sentiment (latest):
CFTC JPY (non-commercial) net longs have fallen from mid-July peaks to ~82k (Aug 8). Retail (spot) sits near 54% long / 46% short.
Banks’ bias (based on recent published views):
UBS CIO guides for USD/JPY drifting lower through year-end (~140 by Dec 2025) as BoJ tightens gradually, and J.P. Morgan Research also expects weaker USD into late-2025 (USD/JPY ~141 Sep, 140 Dec).
4-hour levels to mark
Support: 146.20–146.40, then ~146.00 (deeper swing shelf).
Resistance: 147.80, 148.50 (recent 4H/spot pivot and swing high).
Scenario A — Bullish (rebound off support / corrective pop)
Why it could play out: Hotter U.S. PPI trimmed aggressive-cut bets; if incoming U.S. data/fedspeak doesn’t further dent yields, a corrective USD bounce can lift price from support toward overhead supply! Go Bulls? :D
Bullish Plan (4H execution):
Entry: 146.40–146.70 on a 4H bullish candle or RSI divergence near S1. (Structure band per the 4H map.)
Stop: 145.95 (clean break of the lower shelf).
Take Profit 1: 147.80 (first supply).
Take Profit 2: 148.50 (recent high / strong supply).
Respect Supports: 146.40–146.20, then 146.00.
Resistances to fade/scale: 147.80, 148.50.
Indicative R:R: from 146.60 risk ~65 pips to stop for ~+120 pips to TP2 (≈1:1.8), +120–190 pips if extension through 148.5.
Scenario B — Bearish (trend continuation from resistance)
Why it could play out: 4H downswing remains intact below 147.8/148.5; BoJ tone leans cautious-hawkish, Japan data firmed (GDP), while CFTC shows less crowded JPY longs (reduced squeeze risk). UBS/JPM public pieces lean medium-term lower USD/JPY.
Bearish Plan (4H execution):
Entry: 147.80–148.00 on a 4H rejection wick / failure swing at R1.
Stop: 148.60 (invalidate above R2 swing high).
TP1: 147.00 (recent intraday base).
TP2: 146.20–146.40 (key 4H demand).
Resistances to lean on: 147.80, 148.50.
Supports to target: 147.00, 146.20–146.40, then ~146.00 if momentum accelerates. Go Bears? :D
BUT WAIT..... Which is more probable now?
As for the team here at How To (dot) Forex, we are collectively leaning bearish (Scenario B) over the next few sessions. And, here is why....
Structure: Price remains capped beneath 147.8/148.5 on the 4H map.
Macro skew: Hot PPI pared back “big cut” bets but markets still favor a 25 bp cut; meanwhile Japan GDP beat + BoJ talk of possible resuming hikes is JPY-supportive.
Sentiment: Retail near 50/50 (slight long) and CFTC net JPY longs off the highs → fewer asymmetric squeeze dynamics for upside USD.
What are the banks saying?
Recent UBS and JPM predictions point to lower USD/JPY into year-end, aligning with fade-rallies bias unless price reclaims R2 decisively.
_________________________________________________
OPINION AND COMMENTARY:
we prefer fade-rally shorts into 147.8–148.0 unless a 4H close above 148.5 flips bias. If you see a strong 4H basing signal at 146.2–146.4, the bullish corrective setup is valid — just keep targets conservative at 147.8/148.5.

USDJPY ready to drop another 100 pip?USDJPY has done a fake out with retest of the daily high price started to move back to the major direction of the trend with second step liquidity grab 147.27 level with a price action confirmation to reject further back below. As the last day of trading week price may continue to drop to long term support 145.90 with further possibility to reject back below.
XAU/USD | Bull or Bear? Let's See! (READ THE CAPTION)By analyzing the #Gold chart on the 4-hour timeframe, we can see that after correcting down to the $3331 demand zone, price faced strong buying pressure and is now trading around $3357.
If gold manages to hold below $3367, we could expect a stronger drop, with downside targets at $3342, $3331, and $3323. This scenario will only fail if price holds above $3350, pushes past $3367, and closes above it — in that case, gold may rally back toward levels above $3390.
This analysis will be updated soon — don’t forget to show some support, friends!
