Market Alert | Trump Questions Powell’s Job - Gold Rallies, Dollar Slips
Jul 16 2025 16:56:19 CET: CBS CITING SOURCES:
TRUMP ASKED REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS IF HE SHOULD FIRE FED'S POWELL
Market Reaction:
OANDA:XAUUSD +$45/oz intraday, currently trading near session highs.
Safe-haven demand and inflation hedge as Fed credibility is questioned.
TVC:DXY Weakens notably against both the TVC:EXY and the TVC:JXY
Markets pricing in higher political risk premium, potential dovish tilt under Trump.
Volatility: Spiking across FX and commodities. VIX and MOVE indexes also showing upward pressure.
Context Matters:
While the Fed Chair cannot be dismissed without cause, even the suggestion of removal injects significant uncertainty into the macro backdrop. Historically, markets react negatively to perceived threats to Fed autonomy (see: Nixon-Burns, Trump-Powell 2018). This development comes just months before the U.S. election, adding a new layer of complexity for macro traders.
What to Watch:
- Fed Speakers: Any defense of Powell or pushback could stabilize markets. Or not.
- Trump Campaign Statements: Will he double down or walk it back?
- Upcoming Data: A dovish-leaning CPI/Jobs print could supercharge gold and further weigh on the dollar.
- Volatility: Traders should adjust position sizing and risk accordingly.
Increased geopolitical and monetary risk are back on the table. Traders should remain nimble, reduce leverage where appropriate, and stay alert to headline risk. Gold and FX are likely to remain reactive into the US session.

USDJPY Expanding Diagonal – Final Wave 5 at 149.71?FX:USDJPY FX_IDC:USDJPY
USD/JPY – 4H Chart – Elliott Wave Analysis
📅 July 16, 2025 | By: Trwin
🧠 Pattern Highlighted: Expanding Ending Diagonal (Wave C)
The current move from wave B to C appears to form a classic expanding ending diagonal, suggesting trend exhaustion near the key resistance zone of 149.71.
🔎 Key Features:
🔹 All 5 waves are structured as zigzags – a textbook ending diagonal.
🔹 Wave 3 > Wave 1, and Wave 5 > Wave 3 → confirms expanding structure
🔹 Wave 2 & 4 retraced deeper than typical impulses (common in diagonals)
🔹 Wedges are diverging, forming an expanding wedge.
🔹 Price is nearing a throw-over, hinting at final exhaustion.
💬 What do you think? Will USDJPY reverse hard from this expanding wedge or break higher into a blow-off top?

Fundamental Market Analysis for July 16, 2025 USDJPYEvent to Watch Today:
15:30 EET. USD – Producer Price Index
USDJPY:
USD/JPY has stabilized around 148.900, maintaining upside potential due to:
Interest Rates: The Fed keeps yields elevated (10-year bonds at 4.46%), while the Bank of Japan maintains an ultra-loose policy, keeping real yields negative.
Political Uncertainty: Upcoming elections in Japan and possible fiscal tightening reduce the yen’s appeal.
Dollar Demand: Trade frictions and geopolitical risks drive safe-haven flows into the dollar.
A break above 149.000 could open the path to 149.500. Support at 148.600 remains a critical barrier for the bullish scenario.
Trade Recommendation: BUY 149.000, SL 148.700, TP 149.900

USDJPY 1H - market buy with a confirmed structureThe price has bounced from a key support zone and is showing early signs of recovery. A clear base has formed, and the MA50 is starting to turn upward, indicating a shift in short-term momentum. While the MA200 remains above the price, the overall structure suggests a potential continuation of the bullish move.
Trade #1 — entry at market, target: 145.939, stop below recent local low.
Trade #2 — entry after breakout and retest of 145.939, target: 148.000, stop below the retest zone.
Volume has stabilized, and the reaction from support is clear. As long as price holds above the last swing low, buying remains the preferred strategy.
USDJPY Analysis : Bullish Channel Strategy & FMFR Zone Reaction🧩 Market Structure Overview
USDJPY has been in a strong bullish market structure, forming consistent higher highs and higher lows since the beginning of July. The pair recently created a rising ascending channel, where price action has respected both the upper and lower bounds with clean impulsive and corrective moves.
From the 11th to 15th July, USDJPY moved steadily within this bullish channel, forming minor consolidation zones and reacting to short-term supply-demand levels. However, on the 15th, we witnessed a pullback from the upper channel resistance, indicating short-term profit-taking or internal bearish liquidity sweep.
🧠 Current Price Action
Now, price is pulling back and approaching a high-confluence demand zone, marked as:
FMFR (Fair Market Fill Range): A zone where unfilled buy-side orders are likely resting.
SR Flip (Support-Resistance Interchange): A previous resistance zone, now turned into a potential support base.
This area (between 146.80 – 147.00) has multiple confirmations:
Past supply zone → broken and retested
Strong impulsive bullish move originated here
Mid-point of the current bullish channel
Psychological level (147.00 round number)
The market is now offering a potential buying opportunity from this zone, provided a bullish confirmation pattern is printed on lower timeframes (1H or 30M).
🔍 Key Technical Confluences
Bullish Ascending Channel:
Clearly respected — suggesting institutional accumulation. Price is now retesting mid-level or base structure of this channel.
FMFR Zone:
Typically used to spot unbalanced price areas where limit buy orders may rest. Smart money often returns to fill these zones before moving further.
SR Flip:
The prior supply zone from July 8–10 was broken decisively, and price is now using this same level as support.
Liquidity Sweep & Trap:
The current rejection from the channel top may have liquidated early longs. That opens room for a smart-money reversal from the deeper FMFR zone.
📌 Trading Plan (Execution-Based Strategy)
🔽 Entry Criteria:
Wait for a clear bullish reversal candle within the FMFR zone (e.g., bullish engulfing, pin bar, morning star).
Entry can be refined on the 1H or 30M timeframe using a BOS (Break of Structure) signal.
🟢 Buy Zone:
Between 146.80 – 147.00
🔴 Stop Loss:
Below 146.40, well below the FMFR zone and recent wick lows
🎯 Take Profits:
TP1: 148.20 – Retest of the central channel zone
TP2: 149.60 – Next Major Reversal Zone
TP3 (Optional): 150.00 psychological round level (if bullish continuation breaks structure)
⚠️ Risk Management Tips:
Wait for confirmation — don’t rush into the zone without candle proof.
Risk only 1-2% per trade idea.
Adjust lot size according to stop-loss distance.
Avoid chasing if price closes below 146.40 — structure will be invalid.
🔮 What Could Invalidate This Setup?
Clean break below 146.40 support with bearish structure forming (LL, LH)
Bearish fundamentals from USD side (e.g., CPI, FOMC impact)
A tight channel breakdown without bullish volume
📅 Fundamental Backdrop:
USD is currently reacting to macro data and rate expectations.
JPY remains weak structurally, unless BOJ introduces surprise tightening.
US CPI & Fed commentary may influence short-term volatility and liquidity grabs.
🧠 Conclusion:
USDJPY is presenting a high-probability buy setup as it revisits a strong confluence zone formed by FMFR + SR flip. Smart money often re-engages at these levels after liquidity hunts, especially within a bullish structure. Watch for confirmation on lower timeframes, and manage risk responsibly.
This trade idea is based on price action, structure, and institutional concepts, aiming for a trend continuation with clear invalidation levels.
USDJPY - Trade The Range!Hello TradingView Family / Fellow Traders. This is Richard, also known as theSignalyst.
📈USDJPY has been trading within a range between $140 and $150 round numbers and it is currently retesting the upper bound of the range.
📚 As per my trading style:
As #USDJPY is around the red circle zone, I will be looking for bearish reversal setups (like a double top pattern, trendline break , and so on...)
📚 Always follow your trading plan regarding entry, risk management, and trade management.
Good luck!
All Strategies Are Good; If Managed Properly!

USDJPY – Tactical Short in Weekly Supply or Bullish Breakout?COT & MACRO FLOW (Commitment of Traders)
USD INDEX
Non-commercials still biased short: Longs 16,208 vs Shorts 20,194 (slightly improved, but still negative).
Commercials remain net long, but the open interest is declining → no strong conviction from smart money.
JPY
Non-commercials added significantly to their short exposure (+6,751), while cutting longs (-4,432).
Commercials also cut long exposure heavily (-20,405).
The structure shows institutional bias is clearly bearish on JPY.
Conclusion: JPY weakness confirmed by both commercial and non-commercial flows. USD slightly weaker, but JPY is weaker → supports USDJPY bullish bias.
SEASONALITY (JULY)
USD/JPY tends to be weak in July across most historical averages (5y, 10y, 15y, 20y).
July is historically bearish for USDJPY, especially in the second half of the month.
This seasonality contrasts with COT flows → mixed bias.
RETAIL SENTIMENT
60% of retail traders are SHORT → supports contrarian long view.
Retail volume shows imbalance in positioning, another contrarian bullish signal.
📈 TECHNICAL ANALYSIS (DAILY CHART)
Price is testing a key weekly FVG zone between 148.4 and 149.2.
RSI has re-entered the overbought region, suggesting potential exhaustion.
Price bounced from the monthly bullish order block (143.5–144.0).
A clear move above 149.50 could invalidate short setups.
🧩 TRADE IDEA (SETUP)
Watch for price to retest 148.4–149.50 zone and react.
RSI divergence + seasonality could offer a short opportunity with confirmation (e.g. engulfing on Daily/H4).
If price breaks above 149.5 with volume → look for continuation to 152.00.
✅ FINAL BIAS
Macro and institutional flows remain in favor of USDJPY longs, but:
Seasonality turns bearish in the second half of July
Price is reaching strong resistance
Retail sentiment supports the long thesis
→ Tactical Short from 149-150 only with confirmation. Otherwise, long continuation above 150.
