Japanese Yen: USD/JPY (JPY=X) Fewer concerns but also a potential change of policy by the BOJ The deadline came and went and the US did not impose new tariffs on China.

Japanese Yen: USD/JPY (JPY=X) investors searching for cues While the US dollar vs Japanese yen pair ( USD / JPY ) is one of the few major pairs that didn’t succumb to the strength in the greenback this morning, Fed Powell’s dovish comments could be seen as supportive for risk-on trades and put a lid […]
Japanese Yen: USD/JPY (JPY=X) Bullish Outlook The USD/JPY exchange rate has experienced a very strong rise over the past three trading days but has found some difficulty maintaining a breakout higher.

Japanese Yen: USD/JPY (JPY=X) hits trendline resistance Silver markets have grounds sideways for some time, over the last several days.

Short-term rallies will of course offer selling opportunities as that is […]
Japanese Yen: USD/JPY (JPY=X) unchanged ahead of Japanese inflation reports The Japanese yen is unchanged in the Wednesday session.

Japanese Yen: USD/JPY (JPY=X) Direction Undecided The US dollar has broken down a bit during the trading session on Friday, as we continue to dance just above the ¥110 level.

Japanese Yen: USD/JPY (JPY=X) gains ground as greenback loses luster USD/JPY recovered to 111.42 last week but failed to extend gain and retreated. Initial bias is neutral this week first.

Japanese Yen: USD/JPY (JPY=X) Outlook unclear Our recent expectation for USD to edge lower towards 109.35 is proven wrong as it staged a surprisingly strong rebound and hit an overnight high of 111.31.

Overall, the […]

This pushed the rate below the bottom boundary of the senior wedge. […]
Japanese Yen: USD/JPY (JPY=X) downwards to 110.55 Having reversed from 112.15-20 horizontal-resistance, the USDJPY now rests on 50-day SMA level of 110.80, which if broken on a daily closing basis could further fetch the quote downwards to 110.55 and 110.25-20 support-zone.

Japanese Yen: USD/JPY (JPY=X) looks set to try for another move higher The overall move higher for USD/JPY from March remains intact, with the recovery above ¥111.00 confirming the more bullish view.
