Partly because today was a so-called "5/10 day" (a date ending in "5" or on a multiple of "10" on which Japanese companies often settle foreign exchange payments), the USDJPY began to rise again, having bottomed at 142.85 not long after GMT 22:30. Shortly after GMT 01:30, it hit a high of 143.54 yen. Looking at the 1-hour chart of the USDJPY (as of GMT 04:00 on September 10), the price has reversed after marking a low in the upper half of the 141-yen range, but the trend seems to be lacking in momentum.

On Friday of last week, the USDJPY was trending downward until around GMT 07:00, but it rebounded and continued to rise as the market waited for the U.S. employment statistics. Those figures were announced at GMT 12:30. The unemployment rate in August improved as expected to 4.2% from 4.3% in July, but August nonfarm payrolls were weak, coming in at 142,000 versus a forecast of 165,000. The figure for the previous month was also revised down significantly from an increase of 114,000 to an increase of 89,000.

Today the USDJPY trended down in the morning of the Tokyo session, breaking below 143 at around GMT 05:30. Looking at the 1-hour chart of the USDJPY (as of GMT 04:30 on September 6), it has fallen to just above the recent low of 142.84.

Today the USDJPY hit a low of 143.18 shortly after GMT 23:30, then reversed direction and began to rise. Looking at the 1-hour chart of the USDJPY (as of GMT 04:55 on September 5), the middle line continues to trend down, indicating strong selling pressure.

Looking at the 1-hour chart of the USDJPY (as of GMT 05:10 on September 4), the middle line is trending downward and the price is trading below that, so selling pressure appears to be strengthening on this time scale.

Yesterday the USDJPY pulled back after peaking at 146.59 yen shortly after GMT 23:00, but then began to climb again after hitting a low of 145.77 yen not long after GMT 04:00. The rise in price stalled after reaching a high of 147.17 some time after GMT 13:15, and it closed for the day at 146.88.

On Friday of last week, trading in the USDJPY was confined to a range between the upper half of the 144-yen zone and the lower half of the 145-yen zone until about GMT 08:00, but it broke above the high of the day at around GMT 10:00 and started to trend upward. Personal consumption expenditures for the U.S. in July were announced at GMT 12:30, with the deflator coming in as forecast at a year-on-year change of 2.5%. The core deflator was 2.6% year on year, a deterioration from the forecast of 2.7%.

Today the USDJPY exchange rate until GMT 05:00 remained within a range of the high 144 yen to low 145 yen, with no clear direction. As the U.S. Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) report is scheduled to be released, it is expected that the market will continue to move without significant changes until then, similar to yesterday.

Today the USDJPY rose leisurely during the morning of the Tokyo session, but there was little energy in the movement. With the price trading in a narrow range above 144 yen, the market seems to be treading water ahead of Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) in the U.S. on Friday.

Looking at the 1-hour chart of the USDJPY (as of GMT 04:20 on August 26), despite breaking below the recent low of 144.45 it seems to have lost downward momentum for the time being, breaking above the -1 standard deviation of the Bollinger Band at the close.

Today the USDJPY opened at 146.27, and shortly after GMT 02:00 had fallen to 145.29. Since then it has been drifting sideways in the 145-yen range, and attention is beginning to focus on whether a new trend in the price will emerge during the London session.
