The 155.55 level test coincided with the moment when the MACD indicator had just started to move upward from the zero mark, confirming a correct entry point for buying the US dollar. As a result, the pair saw an increase of only about 15 points, and that was the end of the move. I did not sell at 155.11 because, at that moment, the MACD had already moved significantly downward from the zero mark.
Today, the Japanese yen slightly strengthened against the dollar following the release of the Bank of Japan's meeting minutes, which indicated that further interest rate hikes are quite likely in the near future. The minutes also expressed concerns about Trump's policies, which add a high degree of uncertainty to Japan's economic growth prospects.
The tightening of Japan's monetary policy could become a significant factor in strengthening the yen, especially amid global economic instability. Therefore, investors are closely monitoring signals from the Bank of Japan, looking for new guidance on interest rate direction. Domestic developments in Japan also play an important role—increased investments in infrastructure and innovative technologies could positively impact the Japanese economy, which, in turn, would support the yen. However, external factors such as trade disputes and market fluctuations remain a constant area of concern.
For intraday strategy, I will focus on executing Scenario #1 and Scenario #2.
Buy Scenarios
Important! Before buying, make sure the MACD indicator is above the zero mark and is just starting to rise from it.
Sell Scenarios
Important! Before selling, make sure the MACD indicator is below the zero mark and is just starting to decline from it.
Scenario #2:I also plan to sell USD/JPY if there are two consecutive tests of the 155.27 level, with the MACD indicator in the overbought zone. This will limit the pair's upward potential and trigger a reversal downward. Target levels: 154.90 and 154.50.
