Last Week’s FX Recap: April 7–11 (Zone Reactions & Trade Notes)📈 Weekly Forex Recap – Market Reactions & Lessons (Apr 7–11)
Last week there were about +320 pips of reaction potential (excluding Gold, which I was completely off on). There were multiple opportunities to capture solid intraday or swing setups.
3 out of 6 weekly targets were hit.
5 out of 6 trend biases were either accurate or neutral —meaning no major misreads, aside from one or two volatile zones. The only pair that really got me was Gold.
Let’s run it back real quick:
✅ AUDJPY
Bearish bias accurate.
30 pip reaction off zone with just 1 pip drawdown.
Weekly target hit.
✅ NZDJPY
Bearish bias accurate.
Weekly target hit, though price never reached the watch zone.
No setup triggered, but direction was respected.
⚠️ EURUSD
Range-bound bias played out majority of the week.
Gave about 90–100 pip drop from the hot zone mentioned.
Weekly target came close but didn’t hit.
⚠️ GOLD
Watch zone completely failed.
Short-term bounce gave 480 pip reaction—but that volatility was tough to catch cleanly.
Directional bias wasn’t helpful here. Gold was chaos.
✅ EURGBP
Cleanest setup of the week.
Bias was bullish, price tapped the buy zone and ran 100 pips.
Weekly target hit. Textbook move.
⚠️ GBPUSD
Consolidation-heavy.
Watch zone gave 100 pip reaction, but weekly target didn’t hit.
Bias was unclear—no real conviction either way.
📉 Total Zone Reaction Potential: 320 pips
🎯 Weekly Targets Hit: 3/6
📊 Trend Accuracy: 50% (3 clear hits, 2 neutral, 1 miss)
But that’s done now.
Whether you hit it last week or fumbled the ball, let it go.
We trade forward. Eyes up. Mind clear.
Time to dive into the new week.
Let’s get it. 👊

XAU/USD: A Huge Fall Ahead?

Currently, gold is trading around $3120, and I expect we will soon see further decline in gold. The potential downside targets are $3115, $3105, and $3100 respectively. This analysis will be updated again!

Time Frame: 2h

Sentiment: Overbought (based on 7-period RSI)

WHY USDJPY BULLISH ??DETAILED ANALYSISUSDJPY is currently reacting strongly from a well-established demand zone near the 142.50–143.00 level. After a sharp correction, price has shown signs of exhaustion at support, suggesting a potential bullish reversal is underway. If this bounce sustains, we could see a significant upside move toward the 157.00 region, aligning with the previous high and maintaining the longer-term bullish structure.
From a technical standpoint, this level has historically acted as a key pivot zone. The bullish engulfing candlestick pattern forming here hints at renewed buyer interest, and with risk-reward highly favorable, this could be an ideal entry point for swing traders. The risk remains limited below 139.00, while the upside potential offers over 1:3 reward.
Fundamentally, the divergence in monetary policy between the Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan continues to support a bullish outlook for USDJPY. Recent U.S. inflation data came in hotter than expected, reigniting speculation that the Fed may delay rate cuts. Meanwhile, the BoJ has shown minimal inclination to shift away from ultra-loose policy, keeping the yen pressured.
This pair remains one of the top-watched on TradingView, drawing high search volume due to its volatility and potential breakout structure. With market sentiment leaning risk-on and yield differentials favoring the dollar, this rebound from support could be the beginning of a new leg up. Keep an eye on DXY movements and U.S. treasury yields for confirmation.

USDJPY SELLSPrice is currently in an AOI for sells. Price gapped up so I'd hold off on sells until price forms bearish structure on the lower timeframes. Once price resumes bearish structure, look for sells towards 140.500. If price breaks above H1 resistance, I'd look for price to push towards 145.

USDJPY - Bearish Momentum Points to Further Downside PotentialBased on the USD/JPY 4-hour chart, the higher probability move appears to be to the downside. The pair has established a clear downtrend since early February, with lower highs and lower lows, and recently broke below the significant support level around 144.00. The recent steep decline from late March to early April shows strong bearish momentum, with price now hovering near 143.50 after a modest retracement. The charted projection suggests further downside movement with potential targets around 142.00-141.00 in the short term, while the highlighted support zone around 142.00 and major support at 139.64 could attract price action. With resistance firmly established in the 147.00-148.00 region and the overall bearish structure intact, sellers appear to have control of this market for the foreseeable future.

USD/JPY Under Pressure – Bears Take the Lead After Break of Supp📊 USD/JPY Daily Technical Outlook – April 11, 2025
Overview:
The USD/JPY pair experienced a significant decline on Friday, opening at 145.22, reaching a high of 145.50, and a low of 142.04, before closing at 142.30. This downward movement reflects the continuation of the bearish trend from earlier in the week, influenced by safe-haven flows into the Japanese yen amid escalating trade tensions and weaker U.S. economic data.
Mitrade
📈 Current Market Structure:
After a period of consolidation, the pair broke below key support levels, signaling strong selling momentum. This move comes amid concerns over the U.S. economic outlook and increased demand for the Japanese yen as a safe-haven currency.
🔹 Key Resistance Levels:
143.45: The previous support level, now acting as immediate resistance. A break above this level could indicate a potential reversal.
145.08/145.91: A significant resistance zone. A move above this area could challenge the bearish outlook.
147.85: A major resistance area, which could be a target for buyers if the bullish trend resumes.
FOREX24.PRO
🔸 Key Support Levels:
142.04: The low for the day, which acts as immediate support. A stay above this level may prevent further declines.
Mitrade
139.59: A significant support level. A break below this could signal a continuation of the downtrend.
FX.co
137.92: Strong support, marking a previous high from March 2023.
FX.co
📐 Price Action Patterns:
The strong bearish candles in recent days indicate dominance by sellers. The breakout below previous support levels and the formation of lower lows support the continuation of the downtrend. However, traders should watch for potential reversal patterns as the price approaches key support areas.
🧭 Potential Scenarios:
✅ Bullish Scenario: If USD/JPY holds above 142.04, the pair may attempt a rebound towards 143.45 and potentially 145.08/145.91, driven by short-term profit-taking and potential easing of risk-off sentiment.
❌ Bearish Scenario: If USD/JPY fails to sustain above 142.04, a decline to 139.59 could occur. A break below this level could lead to further declines towards 137.92.
📌 Conclusion:
USD/JPY is exhibiting strong bearish momentum, influenced by safe-haven flows into the Japanese yen and concerns over the U.S. economic outlook. A sustained break below support levels could lead to further declines. Traders should monitor key support and resistance levels and stay informed on global economic developments.

USDJPYCurrent Price: 142.868
Recent Trend: Bearish correction from highs above 146.000
📊 Technical Analysis:
🔻 Bearish Structure
USD/JPY has been in a clear downtrend over the past few sessions, pulling back from the 146.000 level.
Price is currently below the pivot zone (~143.700–144.100) which previously acted as support but now flipped to resistance.
📌 Key Levels:
Type Price Level Notes
Resistance 143.700–144.100 Pivot zone & breakdown area
Support 141.300 Minor horizontal support
Support 140.000 Strong psychological and historical level
🔀 Possible Scenarios:
Bearish Continuation:
If the price fails to reclaim the pivot zone, sellers may gain control again.
Breakdown below 141.300 opens the door to 140.000 next.
Bullish Reversal:
If price holds above current support and climbs back above 143.000, we may see a test of the pivot area.
A breakout above the pivot could push USD/JPY toward 144.500–145.000.
📰 Fundamental Factors to Watch
🟢 1. US Economic Data
Yesterday’s CPI (Inflation) showed slightly hotter-than-expected numbers ➝ Fed may lean hawkish ➝ bullish for USD
PPI data today will add clarity:
If PPI > expected: Fed tightening bias increases ➝ USD stronger ➝ USD/JPY up
If PPI < expected: Dovish shift ➝ USD weakens ➝ USD/JPY down
🔴 2. BOJ (Bank of Japan) Policy Outlook
BoJ remains ultra-dovish, but recent comments hinted at long-term inflation pressures.
If any signal of tightening or less dovish talk comes out, it could strengthen the Yen and pull USD/JPY lower.
📉 3. Bond Yield Watch
US-Japan 10-year yield spread is a major driver:
If US yields rise faster → USD/JPY goes up
If US yields fall or Japan yields rise → USD/JPY goes down
🔍 Sentiment:
“The market is in wait-and-see mode, hovering just above minor support. If PPI surprises higher, USD/JPY could bounce hard. But if sentiment sours, we may retest the 141.300 or even the psychological 140.000 support. Eyes on yields and the Fed narrative.”
USD/JPY Bearish Trade Setup – SBR + DBD Zone Rejection📉 Trend Analysis:

Yen Gains on Recession FearsThe yen rose past 144 per dollar, a six-month high, as U.S. recession fears and a Treasury selloff boosted demand for safe-haven assets. Although Trump paused new tariffs for 90 days, total U.S. tariffs on China now stand at 145%, prompting retaliation with China imposing 84% tariffs on U.S. goods. The U.S.-Japan trade outlook remains in focus, with Japan still facing a 10% U.S. tariff but seeking better terms.
Key resistance is at 145.80, with further levels at 148.00 and 152.70. Support stands at 142.00, followed by 139.65 and 138.00.
