Japanese yen tumbles to five-week low on US-China tariff dealThe Japanese yen has started the week with sharp losses. USD/JPY is trading at 148.18, up 1.9% on the day. Earlier, the yen strengthened to 148.59, its strongest level since April 3. The US and China have reached an agreement to slash tariffs on each other's products for 90 days. This would be a major de-escalation in the bruising tariff war between the world's two largest economies. Under the agreement, the US and China will slash tariffs by 115%, leaving US tariffs on China at 30% and China's tariffs on the US at 10%. The tariff agreement has boosted risk appetite, sending global stock markets higher. The deal has weighed on safe-haven assets like the yen, which is sharply lower on Monday. Gold, another safe-haven, has plunged 3.1% today. In Japan, household spending and wage growth were down in March. Household spending decelerated to 0.4% m/m, down sharply from 3.5% in February. Average Cash Earnings declined to 2.1% y/y, down from a downwardly revised 2.7% a month earlier. There was more bad news as service-sentiment for April eased, reflecting concern over US tariffs. These numbers support the case for the Bank of Japan to continue its wait-and-see stance before raising interest rates. The BoJ wants to see inflation remain sustainable at 2%, which will require higher wage growth and stronger consumer spending. Over the weekend, a host of Fed members made public statements. New York Fed President John Williams and Fed Governor Adriana Kugler both noted that current rate policy was in an appropriate place and suggested patience was needed. This message echoed Fed Chair Powell's remarks at last week's FOMC meeting, when he said the Fed would take a wait-and-see attitude due to the uncertainty over US tariffs. USD/JPY has pushed above resistance at 146.83 and 147.48 and is testing resistance at 148.47. Above, there is resistance at 149.04 146.11 and 145.36 are the next support levels

"USDJPY Just Printed a Trap — Smart Money Is In. Are You?"🧠 Smart Money Concepts (SMC) Setup Alert: USDJPY | 15-Min Timeframe We’re spotting a high-probability bullish continuation setup on USDJPY backed by Smart Money logic. Let’s unpack what’s happening: 🧭 1. Liquidity Grab at the Low Notice how price created a false breakdown below prior structure — a classic liquidity hunt. Late sellers got trapped before price snapped back aggressively, triggering a Bullish Break of Structure (BOS). Smart Money needed to grab liquidity before running price higher. Textbook manipulation. 🟩 2. Refined Entry Zone: Discount + Bullish Order Flow Price has now retraced back to a discount zone, entering the premium-to-discount pullback area. Buyers are expected to defend this level, creating the potential for a bullish continuation. This entry is cleanly defined by a buy-side imbalance (light green area) which overlaps with a bullish order block and internal trendline support. 📐 3. Risk-to-Reward (R:R) Setup We’ve got an excellent R:R opportunity here: 🎯 Entry: Near 145.910 ❌ Stop Loss: Just above 146.314 (invalidate bullish bias) ✅ Take Profit Zone: 145.367 (with continuation possible beyond) This gives us roughly a 2.3R setup, highly favorable for swing entries. 🎯 4. Confluence Trendline support holding Bullish BOS confirmed Imbalance filled Liquidity grabbed Order block respected FVG forming structure for propulsion Smart Money is likely to push price back toward internal liquidity highs — and possibly sweep them for a final exit. 📊 Strategy: Wait for bullish engulfing or strong rejection wick from this discount zone to confirm entry. Trail stop as structure develops on lower timeframes. This setup can also be compounded if price forms another internal BOS. ⚠️ Risk Reminder: Don’t chase. Let price come to you. Manage risk at all times. One setup doesn’t define the day — consistency wins. 🧪 Summary: USDJPY is giving Smart Money vibes — from the liquidity grab, clean BOS, internal order block, to an excellent R:R setup. This is the kind of trade where you want to be the hunter, not the prey. 💬 Drop a 🔥 if you caught this move. 📩 Tag a trading buddy who needs to learn SMC. 📊 Stay smart. Trade with purpose.

USDJPY - Technical Analysis Favors Dollar Strength AheadBased on the USD/JPY chart, we're seeing a promising bullish setup after the pair rebounded from support around 142.00. The price has formed a higher low and appears to be establishing a potential uptrend, having recently broken above the 145.00 resistance level. With the current price action showing resilience and momentum shifting to the upside, there's a higher probability of continued strength toward potential targets near the previous highs around 148.00. The formation of consecutive bullish candles above key support zones reinforces this positive outlook, suggesting buyers are regaining control after the April decline.

USDJPY Set to Rise as Support Holds and Dollar Finds TailwindsUSDJPY looks poised for further upside following a period of consolidation and a successful retest of strong support around the 140.50 level. The weekly chart reveals a clear triple bottom pattern, reinforcing the strength of this support zone and suggesting renewed bullish momentum. The US Dollar is starting to regain strength after a period of weakness, supported by improving U.S. economic data, sticky inflation, and a less dovish stance from the Federal Reserve. In contrast, Japan is unlikely to change its ultra-loose monetary policy in the near term, keeping rate differentials wide and favoring a stronger Dollar. With the Bank of Japan expected to hold rates steady for the foreseeable future, capital is likely to continue flowing out of the yen. Carry trade flows remain intact, adding to the upward pressure on USDJPY. Momentum indicators are turning higher, and price action is forming a steady base for another leg up. The market could target the 150 zone in the coming weeks, where the 50-week moving average may act as initial resistance. As long as 140.50 holds, dips could offer attractive buying opportunities. A sustained move above 145.00 could trigger fresh bullish momentum and accelerate gains.

USD/JPY Trendline Resistance - 145.00 SupportUSD/JPY has been tricky this year as the pair has brewed several bear traps and there's even been some bull traps along the way. Trading breakouts in a market like that can be even more frustrating than usual, as a case in point the 140.00 test from a few weeks ago was a brutal false breakout that then led to a 500+ pip reversal. Last week's Bank of Japan meeting was followed by this week's FOMC meeting and the net result of the two was a stronger USD/JPY, and for the second consecutive week the pair found resistance on the underside of a trendline projection. But perhaps more notably, the same 145.00 level that bulls could not hold above a week ago showed up as support into the end of this week. I wouldn't want to call the weekly bar as a purely bullish item, however, as it has more of a spinning top/indecisive type of nature. But - given that it closed green for a third week in a row and held above 145, we have to give bulls some credit here, and the door would remain open for a deeper run towards the 146.75 prior swing low. - js
