USDJPY moves to a new session high

Dollar index

US dollar index moved above the 100.0

As the dollar index cracks the 100.00 level, the USDJPY is also moving to a new high for the day. However, it is still short of the high from March at 125.093. The high price just reached 124.497. The USDPJY is working on the 6th consecutive day to the upside. The move higher took the price from a low on March 31 at 121.27 to the high today near 124.40 (313 pips higher).

USDJPY

USDJPY is up for 6 consecutive days

Drilling to hourly chart below, the rise to the upside this week, has seen the pair stay above the 200 hour MA (green line) along the way. ON Monday and again on Tuesday, the lows for the day stalled at/near the 200 hour MA. That kept the buyers in control, and contribute to the push higher.

There has been up and down consolidation over the last two trading days, but the price today broke above the swing highs near 124.035, and is seeing more momentum currently.

Close risk in the USDJPY would now be eyed near the 124.035 level (call it 124.00). I would think a move back below that old ceiling from Wednesday and Thursday (now a floor) would not be good for the “break buyers”, and would likely see selling on a break below that level, with a move back down toward the 100 hour moving average (blue line in the chart below).

Absent a move below 124.00, and the buyers are more in control with the high for the year as the next major target ahead (although still is 60 pips away.

Closer intraday risk will now be the swing high going back to March 29 at 124.29.

USDJPY

USDJPY moved above the consolidation range today

Helping the move to the upside now is a move higher in US yields:

  • two year 2.524%, +6.0 basis points
  • five year 2.781%, +7 basis points
  • 10 year 2.721%, +6.1 basis points
  • 30 year 2.722%, +3.8 basis points

Indices

Stock market indices represents an index that measures a particular stock market or a segment of the stock market. These instruments are important investors as they help compare current price levels with past prices to calculate market performance.The main two parameters for indices are that they are both investable and transparent. For example, investors can invest in a stock market index by buying an index fund, which is structured as either a mutual fund or an exchange-traded fund, and track an index. The difference between an index fund’s performance and the index, if any, is called tracking error. Most major countries boast multiple indices. Commonly traded indices include the S&P 500, NASDAQ-100, Dow Jones Industrial Average (DIJA), EURO STOXX 50, Hang Seng Index, and many more.Stock market indices can be characterized or segmented by the index coverage set of stocks. The overall coverage of an index constitutes an underlying group of stocks, most commonly grouped together by underlying investor demand.How to Trade IndicesRetail brokers offer indices exposure through the use of contracts-for-difference (CFDs) or exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Each are popular ways to trade specific markets and are almost always on offer at most brokers.Investors can choose between multiple types of indices that traditionally fall within several categories. This includes country coverage, regional coverage, global coverage, exchange-based coverage, and sector-based coverage.All indices are ultimately weighted in a number of different ways. The most common mechanisms include market-capitalization weighting, free-float adjusted market capitalization weighting, volatility weighting, price weighting, and others.
