[3/19 USD/JPY Scalping Points]
Good work everyone! Let’s go for USD/JPY scalping again tonight!
First, the Tokyo time overview for today.
Currently USD/JPY is around 149.50. This morning it started around 149.25, but during Tokyo time the Bank of Japan kept rates as expected, and with Nick Timiraos of the WSJ stating “likely the Fed will sit on the sidelines and do little for the next six months,” there was a dollar-buying, yen-selling flow, and just before the 15:30 press conference of BOJ Governor Kuroda, it rose to around 149.90.
However, during the press conference, long positions were profit-booked and it fell to the mid-149s, about 25 pips higher than the morning level, likely handing the baton to overseas time.
Now, next is the Fed in the United States.
Now, here are tonight’s USD/JPY scalping points.
● Movements around 16:00 when the London market opens
● Movements around 22:00 when the New York market opens (Dow opens at 22:30)
● Movements after 27:00 “US FOMC interest rate decision & statement”
● Movements after 27:30 “Powell’s press conference”
● Be wary of headlines related to the Trump administration
● Be wary of headlines related to BOJ additional rate hikes
Tonight’s 1-minute scalping assumes no major material news until the FOMC, and profits are accumulated by movements near each market open. For users of the “1-minute scalping club,” handling in accordance with the theory should be fine. Also, the US FOMC and Powell’s press conference are scheduled, but only if you can stay awake.
Also, the short-only 15-minute scalping has fallen to around the mid-149s during Governor Ueda’s press conference, so there might not be many opportunities today. From this level, expect some pullback buying from the long crowd, perhaps… what do you think?
Now, soon overseas trading will commence!
