A USDJPY plunge after the Bank of Japan Meeting on Wednesday 21st September, as extra measures were added, with longer term yields now targeted. This has indicated a more negative tone for USDJPY within a broader range, BUT with risk of a more bearish shift through 99.51.
Despite significant losses for AUDUSD in the early September, a rebound through mid-month has fir now rejected the threat of a more bearish shift below .7403.
USDJPY
A plunge lower after the BoJ Meeting Wednesday, back from a prod at 102.76 resistance (from 102.79) through 101.40, 101.18 and 100.43 supports, to leave the bias lower for Thursday.
For Thursday/ Friday:
- We see a downside bias for 100.05; break here aims for key 99.51.
- But above 101.00 opens risk up to 101.50, maybe 102.35.
The latter August push above 102.66/86 resistances created an intermediate-term base to shift the intermediate-term outlook to a broader range theme.
Short/ Intermediate-term Range Parameters: We see the range defined by 105.62 and 99.51.
Range Breakout Challenge
- Upside: Above 105.62 aims higher for 107.49 and 109.26.
- Downside: Below 99.51 sees risk lower for 99.00 and 96.57.

Short/ Intermediate-term Range Parameters: We see the range defined by .7403 and .7760.
Range Breakout Challenge
