USDJPY Long-Term Trend: Bullish

Lately, an increase in the bullish momentum of USDJPY has sparked a notable rally into the premium zone. The rally ensued after a breakout to the upside from a diagonal resistance as the year 2024 began. This breakout created what is known as a CHOCH (Change of Character), giving the market’s environment a bullish projection. Following the breakout, the MA Cross issued a buy signal, thereby reinforcing the bullish sentiment.

Despite the ongoing rally, a notable drop in price looms at the bullish order block in the premium zone. The bullish order block formed at 140.000 in late September 2023 led to the bullish breakout from the diagonal resistance. The bullish order block formed as USDJPY bounced off the lower boundary of the market’s trading range. A continuous bullish trend emanated from the bounce until the upper boundary at 151.900 was reached. Clearly, the breakout as well as the ongoing bullish trend were a result of the price’s bounce off the 79.0% Fibonacci retracement level.

USDJPY Short-Term Trend: Bullish

The breakout at the diagonal resistance led to a Change of Character at 142.840. Characterized by breaks in structure to the upside, the market’s bullish trend remains strengthened. The price is expected to continue in fractals until it reaches the 151.900 supply zone.
