USD/JPY - 147.62
Dollar’s rally on Wed above Sep’s 24-year peak at 145.89 in Asia to 146.38 and subsequent gain on broad-based yen selling to 146.98 in New York suggests long term uptrend would head to 147.30, however, overbought condition would cap price below 1998 peak at 147.64 and yield a much-needed correction.

On the downside, only a daily close below 146.38 would indicate a temporary top is in place and risk stronger retracement towards 145.89, then possibly 145.43.

Data to be released on Friday :
Germany wholesale price index, France CPI, EU trade balance.
U.S. import prices, export prices, retail sales, business inventories, University of Michigan sentiment, Canada manufacturing sales and wholesales trade.

Despite Fri’s anticipated gain to a fresh 32-year high of 148.86 due to renewed usd’s strength in choppy New York trading, overbought condition and weekend’s warnings by JP officials on yen strength (see MMN) may prevent strong gain above projected resistance at 149.10/20.

to signal temporary top is made and yield weakness towards 147.67, break, 147.25.

Although dollar has remained firm after yesterday’s resumption of uptrend in tandem with U.S. yields to a fresh 32-year high of 149.90, a daily close above 150.00 handle needed to extend gain to 151.70/80 but loss of momentum would prevent strong rise today.

Update Time: 24 Oct 2022 09:30GMT

USD/JPY - 149.28
Despite resumption of long term uptrend to a fresh 32-year 151.94 peak in New York Fri, subsequent sharp decline to 146.21 on possible BoJ’s active intervention signals a temporary top is made. However, intra-day rise to 149.70 (AUS), then spike down to 145.51 would yield further choppy sideways swings.

Rebound from 145.51 (AUS) indicates first leg of correction possibly over but above 149.70 needed for 150.28. Below 147.37, 146.21/25.

USD/JPY - 148.90
Despite resumption of recent uptrend to a fresh 32-year 151.94 peak in New York Fri, subsequent sharp decline to 146.21 on BoJ’s active intervention signals a temporary top is made. Mon’s rebound to 149.70 (AUS) and then spike down to 145.51 would yield choppy swings. As long as 149.45 holds, another fall to 147.85/95 likely but below is needed for 147.38.

On the upside, a daily close above 149.70 would yield stronger gain to 150.15/25.

Update Time: 26 Oct 2022 09:30GMT

USD/JPY - 147.15
Despite dollar’s selloff from Friday’s fresh 32-year top at 151.94 to as low as 145.51 (Monday) on 2 rounds of BoJ’s intervention, subsequent bounce to 149.45 signals 1st leg of correction over and intra-day selloff below 147.52 (Tuesday) on continued usd’s weakness has retained daily bearishness but below 146.45/50 needed for 146.21, break would re-test 145.51.

On the upside, only a daily close above 148.41 (Asia) would prolong choppy swings and yield stronger gain towards 149.09 but 149.70 should hold initially.
