Trading behaviour of USD/JPY

USD/JPY is the most politically sensitive currency pair among the majors. Japan is 40% export-oriented economy. Japanese officials will get involve to keep JPY from strengthening beyond desired levels when needed. Weaker JPY makes a nation's exports cheaper to foreigners.

USD/JPY can be either active directionally or consolidating. As such, we like to approach USD/JPY on a hit and run basis.

4 ways to spot for trading opportunities :
  • USD/JPY tends to respect the technical levels with less false breakout.
  • USD/JPY price actions are usually highly directional on breaks of technical support and resistant.
  • Spike reversals from technical levels are relatively common.
  • Orders frequently define intraday highs and lows and reversal points.
  • Japanese candlesticks

Can you spot more ?
