USDJPY price action on the H4 time frame is sideways as it tackles the 150.00 horizonal resistance (purple), seen on the weekly time frame. As recent liquidity sweep was southward, we may see a northward market engineering for liquidity grab.

I may be wrong. Trade safe and prosper.

Havnt traded this pair in years. Opened it up today and see it near the all time high.... I am thinking we can see a really nice drop over the next few weeks. I am short as of right now

Nice view. What's more is that doesn't even factor in the wishes of the BOJ who have and likely will continue to intervene selling dollars and buying yen that'll help your position. Even more is on a longer term view the US dollar might be bound to go lower as we are (or have) reaching a peak in interest rate hikes obviously meaning at some point they'll cut them.

Great minds think alike. Theres only so much manipulation the USD can do with its dollar. What currency strives when markets are down? somehow the yen everytime if im not mistaken.

My spread is changing every second. UJ may drop or take off any minute. Personally I would like to see it drop so that I can buy again.

Like everyone else, I think intervention is imminent. But, it is all about timing!

BOJ has to do it when there is no real important news that would counter the effort. Lat years intervention(s) happened on October 21, 2022 and November 10, 2022 which were during a period of no important High Impact news. Even the Nov 2, 2022 interest rate hike by the Feds did not do much because it was already expected and factored in.

Looking at the calendar, it appears that there is a good window for intervention after next week's Fed rate decision and NFP.

I always think about how much the Japanese have in foreign currency reserves and that interventions that support the Yen would help them build and grow that currency reserve. Selling US for ¥150 and re-buying at ¥135 for example. If they sell $200B at ¥150 they can buy back about $220B, that is a $20B gain in few weeks . Win-Win situation for the Japanese. if you look at the history of Japanese currency reserve, it grew by approximately $40B from October to November 2022.

Why don't they do that often? someone may ask, because they do not want to be classified as currency manipulators

Just my humble opinion

Cheers to all!!

I've been long this pair what seems like forever now but I don't expect the trend to last much longer.

Yen long positions in the futures market are more than double short positions.

Options in November and December don't look much better.

We're getting one more rate hike in November and the BOJ is gonna intervene in the fx market.

Not much left to be bullish about.
