USDJPY Fundamentals (based on dailyfx article)
Fundamental Forecast for Japanese Yen: Bearish- Why is forex volatility so low, and why does it affect the Yen?
- Technical forecasts for the USDJPY point to sideways moves
The Japanese Yen trades at critical resistance versus the US Dollar
(USDJPY trades at support). Given extremely low volatility expectations
it seems unlikely we see a major USDJPY breakdown, but any major
surprises out of upcoming Japanese data could force sharp currency
swings.
FX traders sent 1-month volatility prices on USDJPY derivatives to their
lowest levels on record, and it’s obvious that very few expect to see
big things through the foreseeable future. Our forex technical forecasts
as well as sentiment-based outlook subsequently favor a USDJPY bounce
off of the lows. Yet expectations often beget disappointment; what could
force a major Japanese Yen breakout?
Top economic event risk comes from Japan’s Q1 GDP Growth numbers
due Wednesday night/Thursday morning, and any surprises could shake the
currency from its tight trading range. Consensus forecasts call for a
substantial 4.2 percent annualized rate of economic growth in the first
quarter. Such lofty expectations arguably leave risks to the downside
for the data itself and the Japanese currency. But why is the JPY stuck
in such miniscule trading ranges across the board?
Put simply, forex volatility is near record-lows as risky asset classes
continue to outperform. Yen volatility may trade to further lows if the
US S&P 500 and Japanese Nikkei 225 continue to trade onto fresh
peaks.
In that sense it will be important to watch how Japanese equities
respond to key economic data; any Nikkei 225 losses might actually
result in Yen strength (USDJPY weakness) regardless of the economic
implications of the news results.
The absence of any major surprises in upcoming event risk would likely
leave the status quo intact. It’s important to note that the Yen has
historically fallen in times of low volatility, and indeed we would
argue that a further compression in vols should keep the USDJPY above
key support. The risk is that material disappointments in data could
force equity market tumbles and, by extension, a USDJPY breakdown.

USD/JPY forecast for the week of May 12, 2014, Technical AnalysisThe USD/JPY pair fell during the bulk of the week, but as you can see the trend line has held up as support. Because of this, we feel that this market continues to go higher, but recognize that it would be difficult to get to the 103 level initially. However, if we break above the 103 level, we are buyers as well, as it would send this market looking for the 105 level which is our longer-term target. As far selling is concerned, if we get below the 101 level, we feel that the 100 level will be targeted first, and then ultimately the 97 level.

USD/JPY Showing Forex Trading Upside Momentum – May 13, 2014
On its 4-hour time frame, USD/JPY is showing enough forex trading upside
momentum after bouncing off the bottom of the rising channel. The pair
has formed short-term double bottoms and is moving on to making a larger
set on the same forex trading time frame.
With that, USD/JPY's next rally resistance appears to be located at the
103.00 major psychological level, which might also serve as the neckline
for the double bottom on the 4-hour chart. A break above this area of
interest could mean a move up to the 104.00 major psychological
resistance, which is at the top of the ascending channel.
USD/JPY Forex Trading Outlook
The US economy is set to print its retail sales data in today's New York
trading session. Market watchers are expecting to see a 0.6% gain in
headline consumer spending and a 0.5% increase in core retail sales,
both slightly slower gains compared to the previous month's figures.
Take note though that the US economy has shown stronger than expected
jobs gains in April, which could increase the odds of seeing higher than
expected increases in retail sales. As for Japan, there have been a few
weak spots in the economy and the recently implemented sales tax hike
could weigh on growth later on.
The Fed is on track with its taper plan, eventually looking to hike
interest rates once clearer signs of growth are seen. The BOJ, on the
other hand, is more inclined to ease given their ongoing battle with
deflation and potentially weak spending. With that, the path of least
resistance for this forex trading pair is to the upside, in line with
the trend channel that is holding.
