USDJPY 4 HOUR CHART – Â Watch EURJPY
As I have noted many times, when you see the JPY diverge vs how other currencies are trading vs the dollar you can assume a cross flow is behind the move.
This was the case earlier where EURUSD was bid and so was USDJPY. (Note a firmer EURJPY).)
Looking at the chart, you can see  how 147.79 resistance capped the upside.
Only back above this level and 148+ would suggest a greater retracement risk.
On the downside, below 146.50-55 would be needed to start a fresh leg down.
Otherwise range is essentially 146.50-147.80.with one eye on EURJPY and the other on the risk mood set by US stocks

EURUSD WEEKLY CHART – 1.10 LOOMS
As I pointed out in Will EURUSD Make a Run for 1.10? the break of 1.0630 exposed a bid until 1.0936, a potential tough obstacle.
Above 1.0936 would expose 1.10, 1.1214 and the major 1.1284 level.
On the downside, look for a strong bid while above the former 1.0888 high with support as long as it trades above 1.0835.
Using my platform as a  HEATMAP shows
EURUSD, which lagged yesterday jumping back into the lead, extending its high above 1.09.
Others following with a lag except cUSDJPY, which is about unchanged after leading yesterday as  stocks steadied overnight.
A very light calendar today leaves the focus on US stocks to set the risk mood and headline news.
This headline, which came out earlier, may be helping to give EUR a kift
EURUSD 4h
Supports: 1.08450, 1.08300 & 1.08200
Resistance: 1.08750, 1.08900 & 1.09650
Next 4h Bar is crucial for the direction – if it manages to go above 1.08900 and stay above it, EUR will continue Up.
In such a case target is in 1.10600 area.
If not, we should be watching everything between 1.05600 & 1.06400 down there.
EURUSD brief black hole reaction to German news
EURUSS 15 MINUTE CHART — Headline risk
News Algo headline reaction then back to square one (1.0850)
EURUSD bounce just now from above 1.08 would need a solid 1.0850+ to shift the focus away from 1.08 and back to the 1.0888 high.
Bounce in EURJPY just now seemed to coincide with a modest bounce in US stocks off the lows.
In the current environment, look for stock market bounces to lack follow through, for exampole, as long as US500 stays below 5800
Using my platform as a HEATMAP
Mixed start to the week
EURUSD backing off towards (but still above) 1.08.… USDJPY weaker ==> EURJPY weaker (GBPJPY as well) asa JPY gets safe haven flows.
AUDUSD, NZDUSD a touch firmer, USDCAD about unchanged
Tariffs, trade war risk, recession talk weighing on US equities

THIS WEEK’S MARKET-MOVING EVENTS (all days local)
This week’s economic outlook focuses on key global trends. In Asia, China may introduce stimulus measures following its National People’s Congress, as policymakers shift to a “moderately loose” monetary stance. Meanwhile, India and Australia monitor inflation and confidence data for signs of economic shifts. In Europe, Germany’s struggling manufacturing sector remains a concern, though potential defense spending increases could offer future support. The Eurozone continues battling weak industrial output. In the U.S., recession risks are rising as job growth slows, inflation remains high, and consumer sentiment declines. The Fed is expected to hold interest rates steady as uncertainty looms.
