USDJPY technical analysis

Analyze the USD JPY daily chart. The USD-JPY pair continues to be in a state of turmoil, and the situation is such that it cannot rise or fall. Considering the fundamentals, there are several factors contributing to the weakening of the JPY, including high crude oil prices and a strong USD in response to favorable US economic indicators.

However, there have been a number of reports suggesting foreign exchange intervention, including from government officials, and some reports say that the government is on standby. If the price breaks down to the 152 JPY level, suspicions will spread within the market that there may be intervention, and if traders actively place buy orders, they will be considered within the market.

The direction of the market is for the JPY to weaken against the USD, but since we do not know when the intervention will occur, we would like to wait for the intervention to end before buying on the edge.

Day trading strategy (1 hour)

The 90 moving average line is displayed on the hourly time frame of the USD JPY. The cloud on the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo is approaching the downside, and the 90 moving average is a support line. Although it rose to 151.78 JPY at one point, it has since fallen to 151.50 JPY.

A market that is difficult to rise or fall unless there is some kind of trigger. Trading is difficult.
