As anticipated, the breakout yesterday was just expanding the consolidation action from a rising triangle to a flat, or sideways channel. The 4H chart shows some of the internals of the consolidation, and so far there has been non-impulse waves within the flat. To me, this suggests the market may…

Yesterday, the anticipation of a rally within a rising channel was incorrect. Instead, the market broke below the rising channel. I mentioned in the Chartist Corner session that a break below the previous low at 86.90 would invalidate the near-term bullish outlook. The scenario is different now. The market has completed a…

A little recap first; USD/JPY bounced from 87, but fell after testing 89. The market is supported here above 86.26, but I suspect some further decline towards…

The daily chart shows a continuation pattern right at the channel resistance. This type of market action means that the market actually is NOT respecting the channel. Fibonacci expansion levels and retracement levels have..

The USD/JPY has been very weak, but seems to have found a bottom at 87. After several failed daily attempts at breaking below this level, the market started to rally during yesterday’s US session. The market is now near…

Forex Technical Update USD/JPY Tops Off Below 93

The USD/JPY pair has been in sideways consolidation. You can see channel in the daily chart formed roughly between 95 and 88. If today closes without much USD/JPY rally, it may provide a bearish signal with…

The USD/JPY has been under my radar because it is in the middle of a wide consolidation zone. The 92 area may be a central pivot in the sideways range. A break above suggests the USD/JPY will test the 95 area again. However this scenario is challenged by a possible negative reversal forming, although it has not formed. For it to form, the market will have to top off below 93.30. But if the RSI…

This is a reward to risk assessment from earlier this morning’s USD/JPY update. The market did not rally past 93.40 and broke below a near-term rising trendline. The RSI is still above 40, but is declining and a break below would give further..
