※※※※※※※※※※ TH-TL Fibonacci Number System ※※※※※※※※※※
During an uptrend, the 0.618 value of the previous day’s True Range is used...
Prices derived from subtracting the previous day’s high establish the lower support.
Prices added to the previous day’s low identify the point confirming resumed rise.
During a downtrend, the 0.618 value of the previous day’s True Range is used...
Prices derived from subtracting the previous day’s high establish the point confirming resumed decline.
Prices added to the previous day’s low form the return resistance.
■ When rising, adopt a buying stance in the lower support to resumed rise confirmation zone.
■ When falling, adopt a selling stance in the decline resumed confirmation point to return resistance zone.
■ If there is a move beyond the return resistance and lower support, indicating a counter-trend movement, it is a turning point.
※If there is a change in the intraday balance and a new position is taken, before NY close, confirm and move the new position to an overnight position, while closing the initial position. If the new intraday position is cancelled, the initial position remains. Therefore, when a new position arises due to intraday balance changes, it will be a pair with the initial position, and if this new position is cancelled, a loss or gain may occur.

・Outlook for Economy and Prices (Outlook Report)
CPI forecast for fiscal 2023: +2.5% (April +1.8%), for fiscal 24 +1.9% (April +2.0%), for fiscal 25 +1.6% (April +1.6%).
Real GDP forecast for fiscal 2023 +1.3% (April +1.4%), for fiscal 24 +1.2% (Jan +1.2%), for fiscal 25 +1.0% (April +1.0%).
・Implementation of a policy mix (8 in favor, 1 against)
The target range for long-term interest rate is around ±0.5%. Use a flexible approach to monetary operations. For the 10-year JGB yield, if there is no clear bid, the operation with a target yield of 1.0% will be conducted every business day. To form an orderly yield curve consistent with the above policy, continue large-scale government bond purchases and, for each maturity, adjust purchase amounts and implement operations such as fixed-rate operations and common collateral funding ops as needed.
・BOJ Governor Ueda
“Not moving toward policy normalization = YCC modification”
“Uncertain if yield curve control easing will reduce government bond purchases”
“We are not targeting the exchange rate”
“We are considering volatility in the currency market as part of the side effects of easing”
“To reduce financial market volatility”

(If there is a change in intraday balance leading to a new position, end-of-day confirmation moves the new position to overnight, closing the initial position. If the intraday new position is canceled, the initial position remains. Therefore, when a new position arises due to intraday balance changes, it will be a hedged position with the initial one, and if this new position is canceled, a loss may occur.)
