Lingrid | USDJPY Pullback From the Key Resistance ZoneThe price perfectly fulfilled my previous idea . FX:USDJPY is moving inside an upward channel after reclaiming support near 145.25 and breaking out from its previous range. The pair printed a higher low and is now approaching resistance around 146.78, testing the upper boundary of the ascending channel. If it fails to break through the red resistance trendline, a retracement toward the 145.25–145.00 support is likely.
📈 Key Levels
Buy zone: 146.78 - 147.00
Sell trigger: rejection from 146.78 and lower high below resistance
Target: 145.25
Buy trigger: bullish breakout above 147.00 with momentum confirmation
💡 Risks
Price rejection near 146.78 may cause a sharp pullback
A surge above 147.00 breaks trendline structure
Market reaction to macro data could distort short-term pattern

Yen Falls After Trump's 25% Tariff on JapanThe Japanese yen weakened beyond 146 per dollar on Tuesday, hitting a two-week low after President Trump confirmed a 25% tariff on Japanese imports starting August 1, lower than the earlier 35% threat but still above the standard 10%. Japan’s Prime Minister Ishiba pledged to keep negotiating for a favorable outcome. Although Japan’s May current account surplus came in stronger than expected, disappointing wage growth limited hopes for further Bank of Japan rate hikes, adding pressure on the yen.
Key resistance is at 146.20; major support at 144.85.
USDJPY Structural Analysis : Breakout Demand Play + Target🗺️ Market Structure & Key Technical Zones
On the USDJPY 4-hour timeframe, the market is clearly respecting smart money levels and giving us an ideal case study of institutional demand, trend continuation, and liquidity engineering.
🔰 1. Major Support Zone (142.500 – 143.200):
This zone acted as a high-value area where price consolidated previously before rallying. It has been tested multiple times and each touch has led to a strong bullish reaction, indicating accumulation by large players.
Think of this zone as the market’s base camp — when price visits it, big money steps in to reload longs.
🔰 2. Channel Formation & Breakout:
A clean bullish channel formed mid-June, with price respecting both bounds while gradually climbing. Once the channel was broken with strong volume (noted by the breakout candle), it suggested a shift from controlled bullish flow to an impulsive move — a change in pace that often indicates smart money is active.
🧱 Institutional Concepts in Action
🔵 QFL (Quick Flip Level):
This area marks a prior consolidation or sideways action that gets aggressively broken. In this chart, price dipped to a QFL zone then sharply reversed — suggesting a trap for early shorts and a liquidity grab before moving up. A classic “manipulation → accumulation → expansion” sequence.
🟦 Breaker Demand (BR Demand):
This is where previous resistance has flipped into new support. Breaker blocks are extremely important in identifying where institutions may re-enter positions. Price respected this area before continuing higher — confirming bullish control.
Price tapped into this BR demand, showed low-wick rejections, and moved strongly, signaling confidence from large orders.
📊 Volume Burst Zone (~147.2–147.7):
This zone has historically seen high volume and sudden price acceleration. Price is re-approaching it now. This is where a lot of pending orders and take-profits are likely clustered — expect strong reactions here.
📈 Current Price Action
Price is climbing along a clean bullish trendline, reinforcing current momentum.
Price has broken previous structure highs and is now making higher highs and higher lows — a textbook bullish trend.
Buyers are in control as long as the price continues to respect:
The bullish trendline
The BR demand zone (~145.5)
🔮 Projection & Potential Scenarios
🟢 Bullish Continuation Case:
If current momentum holds, the price is likely to push toward the Next Reversal Zone (148.500–149.000).
This zone aligns with multiple confluences:
Fibonacci extension targets
Previous high liquidity trap zone
Potential institutional profit-taking level
Expect this zone to cause a reversal or deep pullback.
🔴 Bearish Breakdown Case:
If price breaks below the BR Demand Zone and closes under the trendline, expect a drop back toward the Central Zone (~144.8–145.0), or even deeper into the Major Support Zone.
This would shift market structure back to neutral or bearish depending on volume and rejection patterns.
📌 Summary:
✅ Bias: Bullish
🎯 Short-Term Target: 147.5 (volume burst area)
🧱 Key Support: 145.50 (breaker demand)
❗ Trendline Break = Red Flag
🏁 Final Reversal Zone: 148.500–149.000
💬 Final Thoughts
This chart is a brilliant example of smart money accumulation and market engineering. USDJPY continues to respect well-defined zones, presenting high-probability opportunities for traders who understand structure and patience.
This setup is NOT about chasing price — it's about following the footprints of volume, breakout structure, and institutional intent. Stick to the plan and manage risk around key invalidation zones.
DeGRAM | USDJPY formed the triangle📊 Technical Analysis
● Price defended the 142.80 confluence (triangle base + channel median), printing a bullish hammer and reclaiming the short-term trendline; structure now forms an ascending triangle inside the broader consolidation.
● Momentum is rising toward 146.50 – the pattern’s 1:1 swing and prior supply – with the next objective the upper triangle wall at 148.10. Invalid if candles fall back under 142.80.
💡 Fundamental Analysis
● Rebound in US ISM manufacturing and Fed minutes hinting “no near-term cuts” lifted 2-yr yields, while weak Japanese wage growth keeps the BoJ patient. The widening policy gap revives USD/JPY bid.
✨ Summary
Long 143.4-144.1; targets 146.5 then 148.1. Exit on a 4 h close below 142.8.

USDJPY h4 strongly downBearish Expectation Disruption / Bullish Counterpoint
Resistance (147.5) Rejection and drop Breakout and continuation toward 148.5+
Breakout FVG Fakeout and reversal True breakout — bullish trend continues
Bullish Zone (~144) Clean break below Accumulation zone, strong buying interest may emerge
Target (~143) Next leg down May not be reached if price stabilizes above 145
Support (~142.5) Final drop destination Could become irrelevant if trend flips decisively bullish Original Assumption: Market is behaving in isolation from fundamentals.
Disruption: If U.S. data (e.g., strong NFP, CPI, or Fed commentary) supports rate hikes, USD/JPY may remain bid and breakout to 148+ instead of reversing.
Watch For: Strong dollar narrative or dovish BOJ language.
Fundamental Market Analysis for July 8, 2025 USDJPYThe yen remains under pressure from trade frictions. President Donald Trump has confirmed 25 percent tariffs on Japanese goods effective 1 August, fuelling U.S.-inflation expectations and reducing the odds of a near-term Fed rate cut. Ten-year Treasury yields have climbed above 4.45 percent, while the spread over equivalent JGBs hovers near 380 basis points—supportive for the dollar.
Japan’s domestic backdrop offers little relief. Nominal wage growth has slowed for a third straight month, and real household incomes have posted their deepest decline in twenty months. The weak earnings momentum complicates the Bank of Japan’s exit strategy and keeps ultra-loose policy firmly in place, encouraging further capital outflows from the yen.
Against this backdrop, USD/JPY is consolidating above its 100-day moving average around 146.40–146.50. Absent a sudden flight to safe-haven assets, the pair could break 147.00 in the coming sessions, while the 145.950–146.000 zone is widely viewed as an attractive area to add to long positions.
Trading recommendation: BUY 146.250, SL 145.950, TP 147.000
Bearish reversal?USD/JPY is reacting off the pivot and could drop to the 1st support which has been identified as a pullback support.
Pivot: 146.18
1st Support: 145.01
1st Resistance: 147.62

USDJPY Pre-Breakout Setup – Eyes on 145.310 for Bullish EntryThe recent structure on USDJPY (4H chart) shows a bullish shift supported by a strong double bottom formation within a defined demand zone. After a clean impulse from the bottom, price is now consolidating below the key resistance.
🔹 Trade Idea:
I am patiently waiting for the price to break and close above 145.310 to confirm bullish continuation. Entry is valid only above this level to avoid false breakouts.
🔹 Technical Highlights:
- Price rebounded from a strong demand zone with a double bottom.
- A new bullish leg formed, approaching the 0.786 Fibonacci retracement level.
- A clear impulse-correction structure signals potential for further upside if resistance is broken.
🔹 Trade Plan:
- Buy Above: 145.310 (confirmation breakout)
- Stop Loss: 144.40 (below structure and 0.382 Fib)
- Target: 146.900 (aligned with 1.618–2.0 Fibonacci extension)
⚠️ Note: No trade if price fails to break and hold above the entry trigger. Patience is key.

USDJPY Chart Analysis
The pair rebounded near the 142 level, showing upward momentum. This appears to reflect the impact of Trump’s announcement of high tariffs on Japan.
If negotiations proceed, the upward trend may stall. In such a scenario, a potential high around 148 is likely.
However, if the 148 level is breached, there could be an additional rally toward the 151 level.
