USD/JPY - Weighed Down By Failure, But The Downside Is Limited

By Martin Miller  —  Dec 23 - 05:00 AM
  • USD/JPY managed to close above the 156.68 Fibo for the 1st time on Thursday

  • But relapsed Friday to close back below 156.68 Fibo: a possible "bull trap"

  • 156.68 Fibo is a 76.4% retrace of the 161.96 to 139.58 2025 (EBS) fall

  • A bull trap is set when a mkt brks above a level but then reverses: bearish

  • However, Fed/BOJ decisions last week means downside is limited nL1N3NK0AB

  • Note also that specs continue to snap up the bullish dollar nL1N3NN06H

  • USD/JPY has seen a 156.35-156.81 range, on Monday, according to EBS data

  • The euro usually climbs against the yen in December nL2N3N50BM

  • The 30 and 60-day correlations between USD/JPY and EUR/JPY are high
