USDJPY FORECAST
On the monthly timeframe, which represents our long-term forecast, we see a mitigation of a previous supply at 150 price handles. This was achieved by the end of 2022. Thereafter in 2023, early in the year, profit-taking pushed the dollar to a previous unmitigated demand at 128 price handle. This confirmed a bearish order flow was at play.
After forming this new low, USDJPY broke the daily structure, confirming a change of character (CHOCH) on the daily time frame. The CHOCH indicates a bullish correction on the horizon. Presently, the market has settled in the demand zone at a price handle of 131.
We intend to go long on this pair. We have our buy limit orders sitting at 128.7 with three optional targets.
- The unmitigated supply is sitting at 142.
- The fresh supply is sitting at 145.
- The unmitigated supply is sitting at 147–148.
Our long-term bias for USDJPY is bearish with a short-term bullish correction. We intend to review our analysis once the 142-148 supplies are mitigated and look for short-term opportunities.
NB: Our analysis is strictly based on supply and demand, suitable for swing traders.
