The Trend

If we observe the 90 and 30 day timeframes, we see a downtrend in place for USDJPY.

USDJPY Moving Averages

USDJPY’s moving averages tell a multi-facted story about its trend. Out of the moving averages we’re monitoring (20, 50, 100, and 200 days), all but the 20 are bearish, suggesting the trend is generally downward, save for a spike that occurred about 3 weeks ago. Moreover, it should also be noted that the 20 SMA just turned bullish today.

The chart below illustrates.

In terms of correlations over the past week for USDJPY, it has demonstrated the strongest correlation with USDCHF. USDCHF is the asset with which USDJPY has been most correlated with over the past two weeks as well, so this may be a recurring pattern. Alternatively, GBPNZD has been the asset least correlated with USDJPY — but if we observe the prior two weeks, AUDJPY has been the asset least correlated with USDJPY. See the chart below to observe the recent price action in USDJPY versus those of assets it hasn’t been well correlated with.

The View From the Weekly Timeframe

At the moment, USDJPY’s rate is up 2870 pips (0.28%) from the week prior. Moreover, note that this is the 2nd straight week USDJPY has seen its price head up. If you’re a trend trader, consider that the strongest clear trend on the weekly chart exists on the 20 week timeframe. Looking further out, the moving averages on the weekly timeframe suggest a choppiness in price, as the are all in a mixed alignment — meaning the trend across timeframes is inconsistent, indicating a potential opportunity for rangebound traders. USDJPY’s weekly price action over the past 52 weeks can be seen via the chart below.
