USD/JPY Forex Signal - 14 April 2015

By Adam Lemon

Adam Lemon began his role at DailyForex in 2013 when he was brought in as an in-house Chief Analyst. Adam trades Forex, stocks and other instruments in his own account. Adam believes that it is very possible for retail traders/investors to secure a positive return over time provided they limit their risks, follow trends, and persevere through short-term losing streaks – provided only reputable brokerages are used. He has previously worked within financial markets over a 12-year period, including 6 years with Merrill Lynch.

USD/JPY Signal Update

Yesterday’s signals were not triggered as although the price did reach 120.60, there was an hourly close above that level before the bearish reversal, which invalidated the short signal.

USD/JPY Analysis

The level at 120.60 has been invalidated, but everything else remains intact. The pair was advancing when there was a sudden official comment suggesting a fair value for this pair would be about 105.00 which turned the action bearish.

It looks as if we will probably reach 119.44 next so we may have an opportunity to go long shortly if there is a bullish reversal there.

USDJPY 41415

There are no high-impact events scheduled later today concerning the JPY. Regarding the USD, at 1:30pm London time there will be releases of Retail Sales and PPI data.
