USDJPY Faces Limited Upside Amid Fed and BoJ SignalsThe FX:USDJPY pair edged higher after losing about 1% in the previous session and is now trading around 147.22. However, the upside momentum may be capped as the Japanese yen (JPY) could regain strength following hawkish comments from Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda at the Jackson Hole symposium on Saturday.
Additionally, USD/JPY may come under renewed pressure as the U.S. dollar (USD) faces challenges due to the increasing likelihood of a Fed rate cut in September, stemming from Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s dovish remarks at Jackson Hole on Friday.
From a technical perspective, USDJPY recently marked its decline with a sharp, vertical bearish candle. A retracement is currently underway, but sellers still hold the advantage as the EMA 34 and 89 have turned bearish, and the 0.5 – 0.618 Fibonacci retracement zone has yet to be broken.

USDJPY has done false breakdown?USDJPY trade setup for today :
Before we look at potential entry in this pair first let’s look at multiple timeframe analysis in this market.
Monthly: 150.79 Monthly resistance price has got rejection strongly from the top
Weekly: After multiple doji formation, price is about to bounce off the support level potentially move back to the upside.
Daily: With a massive rejection on Friday, USDJPY started to fill the imbalance and price may continue to move back to the upside.
Entry timeframe 4H : Upon rejection from any previous candles support, price may continue to bounce.
Possible trade recommendation : Bullish entry with SL above sessions high
USDJPY: Bearish Momentum Builds After H4 Structure Shift!Greetings Traders,
In today’s analysis of USDJPY, we observe that the prevailing institutional order flow remains bearish, positioning us to focus on high-probability selling opportunities aligned with downside liquidity objectives.
Key Observations on H4:
Weekly Bearish Order Block Reaction: Price recently reacted to a weekly bearish order block, causing an H4 market structure shift (MSS) to the downside. This confirms that the H4 order flow is now in alignment with the higher timeframe bearish bias, with the weekly order block acting as a strong institutional resistance zone.
Liquidity Dynamics: Recent price action saw sell-side liquidity swept (external range liquidity), followed by a pullback into an H4 fair value gap (FVG), representing internal range liquidity. This reinforces the expectation that the H4 FVG may hold as a firm resistance zone.
Trading Plan:
Entry Strategy: Seek confirmation-based entries on the lower timeframes (M15 and below) within the H4 FVG to refine risk and validate the bearish continuation.
Target Objective: Focus on discount-side liquidity pools, consistent with institutional objectives to rebalance price and capture liquidity resting below.
The main liquidity draw is towards the weekly liquidity pool- which is our long term draw on liquidity.
Remain patient, allow the market to confirm your bias, and execute with disciplined risk management.
Kind regards,
The Architect 🏛️📉
149.50 Target Set — Aggressive Bulls OnlyTechnical analysis — USD/JPY (1-hour chart you shared)
The dominant feature on the chart is a deep bearish liquidity sweep (a single long vertical down candle) that reached roughly the 146.0–146.2 area before buyers sharply pushed price back up. That sweep looks like a stop-hunt followed by an immediate mean reversion: price recovered into a short-term retracement and is currently testing the resistance cluster around 148.115. The overall short-term structure now reads as a bounce off a flash low, producing a higher low, but bulls still need a reclaim of the recent swing highs to claim control.
Key visible levels (in plain language): the immediate resistance band to watch is the 148.115 → 148.520 → 148.778 zone (these are stacked red dotted levels on your chart). On the downside, the near pivot/support is ~147.166, with a tighter support cluster around 146.872 → 146.690 → 146.572 and the liquidity floor near 146.214–146.0 (the sweep low). If price holds above the 146.8–147.2 cluster, the odds favor another attempt at the 148.1–148.5 area; if it falls back through the 146.2 floor, sellers will likely regain initiative.
Structurally, this looks like a short-term mean-reversion opportunity rather than a clear trend continuation. The big wick down removed a lot of buy-side liquidity; the subsequent recovery suggests short-term buyers are present. However, volatility remains elevated — I see event icons under the timeline, so economic releases could create wide intraday swings. That argues either for waiting for confirmation (clean hourly closes) or using smaller position sizes if you enter immediately.
A quick numeric appraisal of the long trade box visible on the chart: entry ~147.166, stop ~146.872, target ~148.115. The risk per unit is 147.166 − 146.872 = 0.294 (about 29.4 pips on a JPY pair); the reward to target is 148.115 − 147.166 = 0.949 (about 94.9 pips). Reward:Risk ≈ 0.949 ÷ 0.294 = 3.23 — a favorable ratio if the support holds and volatility doesn’t spike.
What to watch next (trade management and confirmations): if the pair posts a clean hourly close above 148.115, that will reduce false-break risk and increase the chance of hitting higher targets (148.52 / 148.78).
Conversely, failure to close above 148.115 and a reversal candlestick there would be a bearish sign and could lead price back toward 146.87 and the flash low. Keep an eye on hourly momentum indicators (RSI/MACD) for divergence and on volume/tick activity during any breakout attempt. Because economic events are on the chart timeline, avoid entering with full size immediately before a known print — widen stops or wait until the event is clear.
Trade setups (explicit — bullets as requested)
• Aggressive dip-buy (the chart’s boxed trade)
o Entry: ~147.10–147.20 (around current pivot).
o Stop: ~146.80–146.70 (chart SL ≈ 146.872).
o Take-profit 1: 148.115 (partial exit). Take-profit 2: 148.520 (scale out).
o R:R (to TP1): ~3.23 (94.9 pips reward / 29.4 pips risk).
o Notes: use reduced size if trading through event windows; a tight stop risks being clipped by noise.
• Conservative breakout long
o Entry: wait for an hourly close above 148.115.
o Stop: below the breakout candle low or below 147.166 pivot (give ~20–30 pips buffer depending on spread).
o Targets: 148.520, then 148.778 for larger bias confirmation.
o Notes: lowers false breakout risk; trade momentum, not wishful bias.
• Rejection short
o Entry: bearish price action / clear rejection at 148.115 (failed break or reversal candle).
o Stop: above recent wick high (above 148.520).
o Targets: first 146.872, then 146.214–146.0 if weakness continues.
o Notes: short becomes higher-probability if momentum indicators turn down at resistance.
Final recommendations: if you favor a cleaner edge, wait for a confirmed hourly close above 148.115 before chasing longs. If you prefer higher reward and accept higher risk, the boxed long is reasonable given the R:R, but size it conservatively and respect the 146.8 invalidation.

Fundamental Market Analysis for August 25, 2025 USDJPYFollowing dovish-leaning Fed rhetoric, demand for the dollar has eased and U.S. yields have retreated, reducing support for USDJPY. The pair has pulled back from recent highs as markets price a September Fed cut, narrowing the U.S.–Japan yield spread and making long USD positions against the yen less compelling.
Japan’s recent macro data in August has been more resilient than expected, and the Bank of Japan continues a cautious normalization with an emphasis on wages and sustained inflation at target. Against this backdrop, a modest domestic impulse in Japan and lower U.S. yields support the yen. Another factor is the market’s sensitivity to potential verbal interventions from Japan’s Ministry of Finance if the yen were to weaken again.
Near-term, risks for USDJPY are skewed lower: a softer Fed, steadier Japanese data, and the authorities’ intervention risk management create a fundamental case for the pair to decline. Barring a renewed jump in U.S. yields, the probability of further yen strength remains elevated.
Trading recommendation: SELL 147.250, SL 147.950, TP 146.500

USD/JPY: Weak USD Drives the Pair LowerUSD/JPY is currently trading within a descending channel, with near support at 146.400 and resistance at 148.500. After a strong pullback from 148.500, the price is trying to hold around 146.400.
News: The weakness in US economic indicators (GDP and CPI weaker than expected), along with remarks from Fed officials supporting a more cautious monetary policy, have caused the USD to weaken, providing space for pairs like USD/JPY to adjust lower.
Additionally, slower growth in the US economy and concerns over the Fed's rate hike potential have made the USD less attractive, especially compared to the Japanese yen, where monetary policy remains cautious.
Strategy: If the price breaks below 146.400, the downtrend could continue, targeting 146.000.

Japanese inflation falls, yen extends lossesThe Japanese yen continues to lose ground on Friday. In the North American session, USD/JPY is trading at 148.68. Earlier, USD/JPY hit 148.77, its highest level since August 1.
Japan's core CPI, which excludes fresh food, dropped to 3.1% y/y in July, down from 3.3% and just above the market estimate of 3.0%. Headline CPI also declined to 3.1% from 3.3%, as rice inflation, which has skyrocketed, eased slightly.
Headline inflation has been above the Bank of Japan's 2% inflation target for 40 consecutive months but the central bank remains hesitant to raise rates, arguing that it needs more evidence that domestic demand and wages will keep underlying inflation sustainable at around 2%.
The BoJ meets next on September 19 and the markets widely expect another hold. The BoJ has a habit of catching the markets off guard and a rate hike is certainly a possibiity in September or October. The BoJ upgraded its inflation forecast for fiscal year 2025 at the July meeting from 2.2% to 2.7%, which supports the case for a rate hike in the coming months.
Central bankers are meeting up in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. The star of the show will be Federal Reserve Chair Powell, who will deliver a speech later today. The markets have priced in a rate cut at next month's Fed meeting and are hoping for some confirmation from Powell.
The Fed is caught between a rock and a hard place as it charts a rate path. Inflation is still high, which would support maintaining rates, but the labor market is deteriorating, which supports the case to lower rates and boost economic activity.
Should the Fed's primary focus be inflation or employment? There is a split among members, which was reflected in the rare split vote at the July meeting. The majority of the FOMC members, which voted to hold rates, judged the upside risk of inflation to be the primary concern, while the two members who voted to lower rates were most concerned about softening employment. The Fed meets next month and is widely expected to deliver its first rate cut since December 2024.
USDJPY Market Outlook | Fed Signals & Yields in FocusUSDJPY – Technical Outlook
USDJPY is trading around 148.67, just above the pivot zone (148.50 – 148.49), after breaking out of the recent consolidation range. The pair is showing bullish momentum, with near-term upside potential.
🔎 Bullish Scenario
As long as price holds above the pivot (148.50), the bias stays bullish.
Next upside targets sit at 149.00 – 149.49, followed by the key resistance at 149.92.
A breakout above 149.92 would open the way toward the major resistance at 151.01.
🔎 Bearish Scenario
If price falls back below the pivot line (148.50), USDJPY could retest support at 147.07.
A break below 147.07 would expose deeper support zones at 146.33 – 145.08, with stronger downside momentum possible if sellers regain control.
📍 Key Levels
Pivot: 148.50
Resistance: 149.00 – 149.49 – 149.92
Support: 148.50 – 147.07 – 146.33
