Current Price: 119.39
Currency Pair: USD/JPY
Sentiment: Bullish
Market focus:
In today’s trade set up we will be focussing on short term buying opportunities on the USD/JPY.
Fundamentals:
We are looking for buying opportunities on the USD/JPY today after the BOJ ended its final policy meeting for the year, confirming its pledge to continue its monstrous stimulus program as it targets a 2% inflation rate. Asian shares saw good follow through from yesterdays lucrative move in US equities with the MSCI Asia Pacific Index up 1.7%.
Technicals:
I expect this pair to continue its up move during the session, eventually hitting 120.50 or higher. If the market does retrace back down then there is a nice confluence zone of support that traders could use as a reference to buy from again.
The confluence zone is at 119.05-119.00
Stop loss could be placed at 118.65

EUR/USD trades with negative bias, holds above 1.0700 as traders await US PCE Price Index
EUR/USD edges lower during the Asian session on Friday and moves away from a two-week high, around the 1.0740 area touched the previous day. Spot prices trade around the 1.0725-1.0720 region and remain at the mercy of the US Dollar price dynamics ahead of the crucial US data.
USD/JPY jumps above 156.00 on BoJ's steady policy
USD/JPY has come under intense buying pressure, surging past 156.00 after the Bank of Japan kept the key rate unchanged but tweaked its policy statement. The BoJ maintained its fiscal year 2024 and 2025 core inflation forecasts, disappointing the Japanese Yen buyers.
Gold price flatlines as traders look to US PCE Price Index for some meaningful impetus
Gold price lacks any firm intraday direction and is influenced by a combination of diverging forces. The weaker US GDP print and a rise in US inflation benefit the metal amid subdued USD demand. Hawkish Fed expectations cap the upside as traders await the release of the US PCE Price Index.
Sei Price Prediction: SEI is in the zone of interest after a 10% leap
Sei price has been in recovery mode for almost ten days now, following a fall of almost 65% beginning in mid-March. While the SEI bulls continue to show strength, the uptrend could prove premature as massive bearish sentiment hovers above the altcoin’s price.
