Analysis of the Latest SignalsRecently, the situation in Ukraine and Russia has remained tense, and the conflict in the Middle East has escalated (such as the confrontation between Israel and the Houthi armed forces in Yemen), prompting funds to flow to traditional safe - haven currencies. However, the Bank of Japan (BoJ) maintained a dovish stance last week and did not clarify the interest - rate - hike path, which limited the upside potential of the yen.
Although inflation in Japan persists and wage growth is strong (the largest increase in 34 years), the BoJ's cautious attitude towards economic recovery has led the market to lower the interest - rate - hike expectations for June and July, putting pressure on the yen.

USDJPY Retest of Supply Zone Before Bearish ContinuationUSDJPY pair is reacting to key supply around 143.70–144.00 but shows signs of weakness after failing to hold above this level. With renewed risk-off sentiment and escalating global trade tensions—especially involving Japan and the U.S.—this pair may be setting up for a bearish continuation. Here's what both the chart and macro backdrop suggest.
📊 Technical Breakdown (4H Chart)
Key Supply Zone Retested:
The pair retraced into a previously broken structure zone (blue box), rejecting the 143.70–144.00 area multiple times.
Price is now forming lower highs, indicating bearish pressure building beneath resistance.
Bearish Continuation Pattern:
Price action resembles a bear flag, with a minor pullback likely before continuation lower.
A retest of 143.00–143.50 could serve as an ideal sell zone.
Major Support Levels:
142.04–142.02: Immediate support, already tested.
140.16: Key structure low from late April.
138.04: Final measured move target based on Fibonacci extension and prior demand zone.
Bearish Trade Setup:
Entry Zone: 143.00–143.50
Stop: Above 145.35
TP1: 142.00
TP2: 140.15
TP3: 138.00
🌐 Macro Fundamentals
Trump Tariffs Stir Instability:
President Trump is pressing Japan in trade talks with threats of new tariffs, already impacting investor confidence
A 25% tariff on Japanese auto exports has gone into effect, disrupting trade negotiations.
Urgency for a Deal, But No Progress Yet:
Trump says multiple deals are “coming,” but little substance has emerged. Analysts fear economic fallout and potential global recession if tensions continue
JPY Strengthening on Safe-Haven Flows:
With U.S. economic indicators weakening and global uncertainty rising, the yen may benefit from risk aversion.
✅ Summary
USDJPY remains vulnerable to downside continuation from the 143–144 resistance zone. If price breaks below 142.00 again with conviction, expect momentum to build toward 140.15 and potentially 138.00.
USDJPY Forecast: Haven Appetite Back in SightUSDJPY remains above the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement zone at 139, stemming from the uptrend between January 2023 (127.20) and July 2024 (162.00).
However, the pair is currently trading below resistance at 146, steering the trend back toward key support levels at 142 and 139.
A decisive break below 139 could expose new 2025 lows near 138.30 and 134.60, both key Fibonacci levels.
On the upside, a rebound above 146 may open the way to 149 and 151, testing the grounds for a more sustainable uptrend.

GBPUSD BULLISH OR BEARISH DETAILED ANALYSISGBPUSD is currently trading around 1.33400 and is displaying a promising bullish setup. The price action is coiling within a symmetrical triangle, which typically signals a potential breakout. A clear bullish structure has already formed following the recent impulse wave, and with the consolidation tightening, we are now closely watching for a breakout to the upside. The expected bullish breakout aligns with the projected target of 1.36000, offering a strong risk-reward opportunity for trend-following traders.
From a fundamental standpoint, the British pound is showing resilience despite broader dollar strength. Recent comments from the Bank of England have maintained a cautious yet firm tone regarding inflation control, hinting at the potential for rates to stay elevated longer than markets previously priced in. Meanwhile, the U.S. dollar index has seen some pressure amid mixed economic data and increasing speculation that the Federal Reserve may hold rates steady in the upcoming sessions.
Technically, GBPUSD remains well-supported above the 1.32500 level, with buyers defending key horizontal and trendline support areas. The recent compression in price suggests that volatility is about to expand, typically favoring the direction of the initial trend, which in this case remains bullish. Momentum indicators are beginning to curl higher, further supporting a breakout scenario.
In summary, GBPUSD is setting up for a high-probability bullish continuation. A confirmed breakout from the triangle could ignite a fresh rally toward 1.36000, especially if supported by dovish Fed rhetoric and firm UK economic sentiment. This setup is one to watch closely as it aligns both technically and fundamentally, positioning it as a favorable opportunity for medium-term swing trades.
Yen Slips Toward 144 on Stronger DollarThe Japanese yen edged lower toward 144 per dollar on Tuesday, as the U.S. dollar strengthened amid optimism over potential U.S.-China trade talks and investor caution ahead of the Federal Reserve’s policy decision. President Trump suggested a possible reduction in tariffs on Chinese goods. Meanwhile, the Bank of Japan held rates steady but revised its growth and inflation outlook. Trading activity remained subdued due to a public holiday in Japan.
Resistance is located at 145.90, followed by 146.75 and 149.80. On the downside, support levels are at 139.70, then 137.00 and 135.00.
GOLD - Smart Money Selling, Retail Chasing Longs📉 Technical Context:
Price has reacted precisely to the 0.618–0.786 Fibonacci retracement zone between 3,386–3,442 USD, aligning with a clear weekly supply zone and imbalance. The current market structure suggests a potential lower high, with the first target around 3,060 USD, and the second near 2,880–2,900 USD demand.
🧠 COT Report (as of April 29, 2025):
Non-Commercials (speculators) cut 18,519 long contracts, signaling waning bullish conviction.
Commercials (hedgers) increased shorts by +9,848 contracts, maintaining a bearish contrarian stance.
📊 Retail Sentiment (MyFxBook):
65% of retail traders are short from 3,062, while 35% are long from 3,184 — ideal environment for a bull trap before reversal.
📅 Seasonality (Market Bulls):
May is historically weak:
10Y: -9.98%
5Y: -12.21%
Strength historically returns in June/July → a correction before continuation is likely.
✅ Conclusion:
Technical structure, macro context, and positioning all align for a high-probability short.
📍 Entry Zone: 3,420–3,440
🔒 Stop: Above ATH (3,500)
🎯 Targets:
TP1: 3,060
TP2: 2,900
Fundamental Market Analysis for May 6, 2025 USDJPYUSDJPY:
The Japanese Yen (JPY) declined against its US counterpart during Tuesday's Asian session, albeit without any follow-through selling. Despite the Bank of Japan's (BoJ) ‘restrained’ guidance last Thursday, Japan's rising inflation and prospects for continued wage increases leave the door open for further policy tightening by the central bank. In addition, uncertainty over US President Donald Trump's trade policy and rising geopolitical tensions continue to act as tailwinds for the safe-haven yen.
Meanwhile, the prospect of more aggressive rate cuts by the Federal Reserve (Fed) is not helping the US Dollar (USD) attract meaningful buyers and is helping to limit the upside for the USD/JPY pair. Traders also seem unwilling to wait for more signals on the Fed's policy outlook before positioning for the next leg of directional movement. Thus, the main focus will be on the outcome of the two-day FOMC meeting, which starts this Tuesday and which will give the dollar a fresh impetus.
Trading recommendation: BUY 143.90, SL 143.60, TP144.80
Bullish Breakout from Falling WedgeThe exchange rate of the US dollar against the Japanese yen shows a slight downward trend. The opening rate of the US dollar against the Japanese yen on that day was 144.8740. During the trading session, it hit a high of 144.9890 and a low of 144.085. The latest trading price is 144.082, which is 0.60% lower than the closing price of 144.9180 in the New York foreign exchange market on the previous trading day.
Buffett has warned of the risks of the US dollar, and funds may flow to safe - haven assets such as the Japanese yen, which may have had a certain impact on the exchange rate of the US dollar against the Japanese yen. On the other hand, from a technical perspective, according to the chart data, the "Daily Chart PP" of the US dollar / Japanese yen shows that its pivot point is at 158.27, and the maximum coverage range of the corresponding support and resistance is 157.29 - 159.33. The current exchange rate is at a relatively low level and may be attracted by the lower support level.
