USDJPY Forecast: Insights for the New Week & Follow-Up Analysis

업데이트됨

The Japanese authorities are facing mounting pressure as the yen continues to weaken due to market expectations of ultra-low interest rates maintained by the Bank of Japan. The yen gained traction in the second half of the previous week. Speculation of government intervention to counter the currency's weakness added further support. Although direct intervention did not occur, we witnessed a pullback from the key 145 level against the dollar, amidst numerous verbal warnings from Japanese officials cautioning against betting against the yen.

Despite these developments, the outlook for the yen remains uncertain, especially as the Bank of Japan maintains its commitment to loose monetary policy.

Shifting our attention to the U.S. economic landscape, the Labor Department's recent report revealed that June experienced a lower-than-expected increase in new hires, with downward revisions to May's figures. However, the unemployment rate declined to 3.6% in June, and average hourly earnings mirrored the growth seen in May.

Amidst the recent market volatility, there is speculation that despite pausing its rate hike cycle last month, the Federal Reserve might resume rate hikes during its upcoming meeting on July 26.

The market continues to display a sense of indecision as both buyers and sellers struggle to gain momentum. The price action is currently confined within a range (142.000 7 143.000), and our focus lies on a break/retest for initiating a position. It is important to note that we have identified a descending trendline that will serve as a reference point to guide our trading activities for the day.
NB: We are not going to ignore the fact that the price still remains above the week's key level at the 142.000 zone which keeps the option of buying open.
