Forecast and levels for JPY

Sergey Golubev  

USD/JPY April-June 2017 Forecast: correction to the ranging; 103.79 support is the key level for the possible bearish reversal

W1 price is on secondary correction within the primary bullish market condition: the price is breaking the upper border of Ichimoku cloud to below to be reversed to the ranging market condition waiting for the direction of the bullish trend to be resumed or the bearish reversal to be started.

Chinkou Span line is above the price indicating the ranging by direction, Trend Strength indicator is estimating the trend as a correction, and Absolute Strength indicator is evaluating the trend as a ranging as well. Non-lagging Tenkan-sen/Kijun-sen signal is for ranging bullish market condition for now and for near future for example.


  • If the price breaks 115.50 resistance level on close weekly bar to above so the primary bullish trend will be resumed with 118.65 weekly target.
  • If weekly price breaks 103.79 support level on close bar to below so the reversal of the weekly price movement from the ranging bullish to the primary bearish market condition will be started.
  • If not so the price will be on bearish ranging within the levels.

Weekly Fundamental Forecast for USD/JPY (based on the article)


USD/JPY"Next week brings a slate of medium-importance announcements out of Japan: Manufacturing PMI’s are set to be released on Sunday, Services PMI’s are released on Wednesday, and Consumer Confidence on Thursday. Each of these can add drive to JPY given the implication around stronger data bringing stronger inflation which will, eventually, begin to move the BoJ away from dovish accommodation. But more likely as primary drivers next week will be the larger global macro trends that have developed as questions around the ‘Trump Trade’ continue to circulate."

USD/JPY - bearish ranging within narrow s/r levels (based on the article)

Daily price is located below Ichimoku cloud in the bearish area of the chart: the price is on ranging within 112.19/110.10 narrow support/resistance levels waiting for the direction of the strong trend to be started.


"The former level is being tested now and January lows near 112.60 still present a hurdle.” USD/JPY ended up rolling over between 111.60 and 112.60 (high was 112.20). The rally failing in the middle of congestion doesn’t bode well for near term upside but price is still hanging on to a parallel. Failure to gain traction now (above this parallel) opens up 108.55."

Weekly Fundamental Forecast for USD/JPY (based on the article)


USD/JPY"BoJ Governor Kuroda warned the central bank will remove the non-standard measures once it reaches the 2% target for inflation, and went onto say that a further deprecation in the Yen would make it easier to achieve the goal as the economy stands at full-employment. Even though the BoJ keeps the door open to further embark on its easing-cycle, the comments suggest the BoJ is in no rush to implement more unprecedented measures, and the central bank may toughen the verbal intervention on the local currency as officials strive to achieve the inflation-target over the policy horizon."
