Dollar-Yen near-term target reached, adjustment selling begins! Unexpected risk-off market as both Japanese and U.S. stock prices plunge...
In the previous streaming article, I commented that the immediate upside target for USD/JPY was close, but
after hitting a high in early October, U.S. long-term interest rates rose and U.S. stocks stayed near highs, signaling
a correction that caused USD/JPY to turn lower, moving in line with the stock market after being overbought.
Regarding USD/JPY, it’s time to close long positions once and/or switch to a reverse (reverse position).

Additionally, from last week’s employment data, the unemployment rate fell and the trend of rising U.S. long-term yields and a decline in U.S. stocks continued
into yesterday, with U.S. equities extending their declines
While concerns about the long-term U.S.-China trade frictions are also being priced in, the Dow Jones industrial average is aiming for its all-time high
as the movements toward the upcoming midterm elections may have begun, suggesting a frantic market toward year-end
could occur.

Furthermore, due to European concerns, the euro exchange rate also stalled and, against the yen, returned to the 132 yen area
but from the near-term range’s upper limit it stalled and dropped below 130, returning to this year’s low range
with a possibility of expanding the downside.

Although it broke above 130, selling signals re-lit and it fell below 130

In the shadow trades, one can catch the reversal timing. The chart is a 4-hour swing trade.
Combining with MAX, the buy/sell logic differs, but the buy/sell points are as you see.
Similarly, the pound/yen is also fluctuating wildly due to Brexit concerns, but traders are starting to anticipate a near-term rebound high,
and if it breaks the near-term low, the downside could widen.

Originally, at the beginning of this year, the market trend was such that it would help forecast the year’s movements
so it is within expectations that U.S. stocks may widen their declines toward year-end, but
the Nikkei Average has fallen below 23,000,
and at present USD/JPY remains in a corrective phase, but if risk-off persists, it could break below 110
and in such scenarios, the key will be whether buyers can support it.
