USD/JPY Price Forecast – US Dollar Climbs Again

The US dollar has rallied significantly during the trading session on Wednesday as we attacked the ¥106 level. Ultimately, this is a market that I think if we can make a fresh, new high, it will continue to show what I believe is an overall trend change in general. We had broken significantly above a downtrend line, and now are starting to grind higher to get above the 200 day EMA. At this point, I think there would be a lot of noise but pay attention to the 10 year note, because as yields rise, that should send this market higher due to the interest rate differential.

The US dollar of course is typically thought of as a “safety play”, but at this point in time the Japanese yen is a “safer currency” than the greenback. Ultimately, this is a market that looks as if it is ready to turn things around from a longer-term standpoint, so I think that buying on the dips continues to work out as long as we can stay above the ¥105 level. If we were to break down below there, then we may have to “reset”, but it should be noted that yields are spiking in America, as I write this. If that continues to be the case, this is a market that almost certainly looks as if it will continue to go much higher. The size of the candlestick is something to pay attention to as well, but I think this is an area where we have to make quite a bit of noise in order to finally get clarity.
