USD/JPY Trends: The Role of Economic Data and Policy Signals

Following the USD/JPY's ascent to 160.200, the currency pair underwent a reversal, marked by a retracement to the 50% Fibonacci level and subsequent bearish momentum, driving prices down to approximately 151.885. In Japan, Masato Kanda, a prominent figure in currency diplomacy, hinted at potential measures to address market volatility, signaling possible interventions. Recent speculation regarding Japanese government intervention led to a strengthening of the Japanese Yen (JPY), as evidenced by reports from the Bank of Japan (BoJ) suggesting significant allocations of funds, approximately ¥6.0 trillion on April 29 and ¥3.66 trillion on May 1, to support the JPY. In light of these fundamental developments, we are adopting a bearish outlook on the USD/JPY, anticipating further downward pressure. Our strategy involves initiating a short position with the placement of two sell limits, aligning with our bearish market sentiment.
