Concerns over the Thailand political crisis, as signaled by BoJ's recent release of minutes, became fuel for UJ. A break of 102.30 can be followed by 102.40, 102.50 and 102.65. On the downside, 102.20 and 102 level become renewed supports.

This consolidation period looks encouraging for a move up. I kind of jumped the gun but I am willing to wait. I think it will at least retest the 102.67-102.75 price levels

USDJPY pull-back could actually extend till 101.80-102.00, but the pair seems to have broken down from its recent trading range.

Would utilise this pull-back to initiate fresh short for initial downfall till 101.00-100.80 area and eventually to sub-100.00 psychological mark.

USDJPY showing clear signs of a break-down, but the same would be confirmed it breaks below the horizontal line support of the triangular pattern near 101.00-100.80.

USDJPY then could be vulnerable to continue drifting lower below 100.00 psychological mark.

Yen Rises to 5-Month High Versus Euro on Haven Bid

The yen strengthened to a five-month high against the euro after reports a Malaysian jet carrying 295 people was shot down over eastern Ukraine near its border with Russia, boosting haven assets.

 

The ruble weakened the most in four months against the dollar as the U.S. and European Union imposed extra sanctions on Russia yesterday over the Ukraine conflict. A gauge of the dollar dropped from a four-week high as a report showed U.S. housing starts fell to a nine-month low. Japan’s currency gained versus all of its 31 major peers as U.S. stocks fell with European and Asian shares and Treasuries rose.

 

“It certainly looked like we were going to have a little bit of a pullback, a little bit of a paring of risk, and it seems that has continued,” said Fabian Eliasson in foreign-exchange sales at Mizuho Financial Group Inc. in New York. “There’s been a little bit of yen buying and I would attribute that to a certain degree to a risk-off type of trade.”

 

The yen gained 0.4 percent to 137.01 per euro at 2:17 p.m. in New York after reaching 136.92, the strongest level since Feb. 6. Japan’s currency strengthened 0.4 percent to 101.30 per dollar. The dollar was little changed at $1.3523 per euro.

 

The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index (SPX), which tracks the currency against 10 major counterparts, was little changed at 1,009.59 after climbing to 1,010.67 yesterday, the highest since June 20.

"TOKYO -- The Finance Ministry announced July 4 a reshuffle of its senior officials. Tatsuo Yamasaki, who was involved in a large yen-selling intervention, was named vice minister of finance for international affairs. Some market experts say Yamasaki's appointment shows the government intends to fight yen appreciation.

Japanese Yen Falls To Lowest Since 2008,

 

It was a banner week for the USD bulls as they pushed the euro (EURUSD, FXE, UUD, UDN) to the lowest level versus the USD since July 2013, and the lowest in the yen versus the USD since September 2008. It was euro and yen weakness that widened the spreads. Since the market was loaded with spec shorts, it has been a good week for those correctly positioned. Going forward, this means we are headed for trading sessions with increasing volatility. From personal experience, I know when traders have more equity in their accounts, they trade more.

 

The euro and the yen were both helped lower by government action to expand their respective money supplies. For the EU, this belated growth in the money supply is one of the factors which is sending the EU back toward another recession, but the ECB President Draghi's policies cannot be blamed. The US, UK and Japan were are all actively increasing the money supplies but this policy was opposed by Germany. As we have mentioned before, the German word schuld has two meanings, debt and guilt. This might explain the German reluctance to take on new debt. Now the entire EU is paying the price with slow or no growth and record high unemployment.

A good GDP print next week for the US will send this pair to 110+.

 

110+ is inevitable anyways.

 

Agree. Look at GBP/JPY... bounced off 17900 today. But I think a lot of folks holding their breath over Scotland vote.

      Date: 22nd January 2025.   Netflix Earnings Surge Driving the NASDAQ to Monthly Highs!   The NASDAQ increases in value for a fourth consecutive day, gaining momentum after Netflix stocks rise more than 15%. Earnings reports are gaining speed for the technology sector, but why has Netflix stocks seen such a high and sudden rise in demand? Netflix Stocks Increase 15% Supporting the NASDAQ! Netflix stocks have been one of the best-performing stocks within the NASDAQ, rising more than 79% in 12 months. However, even for Netflix, a 15% rise in less than 24 hours is considered substantial. The quarterly earnings report was made public by Netflix after the market closed on Tuesday. The earnings report confirmed the following: Netflix beat their earnings per share expectations - $4.27 reported vs $4.21 expectations. Netflix’s revenue surpasses the previous quarter - $10.25 billion this quarter vs $9.82 billion in the previous quarter. The online streaming company confirms projects to expand into live sport and event streaming will proceed. In addition to this, the company’s forward guidance for 2025 remains positive. Netflix is the 10th most influential company for the NASDAQ meaning the positive earnings data and bullish price movement supports the overall price of the NASDAQ. In addition to this, the positive earnings improve the sentiment towards the entire US technology sector. Investors will now turn their attention to the quarterly earnings report for Intuitive Surgical. Intuitive Surgical stocks on Tuesday rose 1.94%. How is the Economy And Politics Affecting the NASDAQ?     The US stock market is witnessing an upward correction after struggling in the last weeks of 2024. The bullish price movement is a result of a sharp decline in bond yields, the new US administration and earnings season. Investors remain relieved that bond yields have fallen back down from the 5.00% level. If bond yields continue to decline further, particularly below 4.50%, the move would be deemed as positive for the US stock market. President Trump took office on Monday and so far the pro-US rhetoric from the President, Vice President and Secretary of State continues to support the stock market. So far, the main concern is how upcoming tariffs can negatively affect inflation and growth. However, some economists advise tariffs will become the “norm” and may have a lesser effect compared to 2018. However, this is something traders will continue to evaluate and monitor. The VIX this morning fell 0.83% lower and trades more than 5.70% lower over a 7-days. The lower VIX indicates a higher risk appetite towards the stock market. If the VIX continues to decline a strong buy indication may materialize. On the most influential stocks for the NASDAQ, 82% rose in value on Tuesday. However, Apple stocks, the most impactful stock, fell 3.19% due to poor sell data. If Apple stocks continue to decline, the NASDAQ’s upward trend may come under strain. In the meantime, investors over the next week will continue to monitor upcoming earnings reports. NASDAQ - Technical Analysis The price of the index is trading significantly higher than all Moving Averages on a 2-hour timeframe and relatively high on oscillators. These factors indicate that buyers are controlling the order book. However, price action also confirms the latest impulse wave measures 3.43% which is normally the point at which the index retraces. This is something that investors may also consider. The retracement potentially also may be triggered by Netflix buyers quickly selling to cash in profit after the sudden 15% bullish surge. If a retracement does indeed form, price action and the 75-period EMA indicates that the pullback may drop as low as $21,391.30.     Key Takeaways: The NASDAQ increases in value for a fourth consecutive day, but price action signals a possible retracement before continuing its bullish trend. Netflix stocks increase more than 15% due to strong earnings data. Netflix beat earnings and revenue expectations by 1.39% and confirmed projects to add live sports streaming to its platforms. The VIX trades more than 5.70% lower over a 7-days and US Bond Yields remain at recent lows. On the most influential stocks for the NASDAQ, 82% rose in value on Tuesday.
