Check out these potential profits that you may have missed from our Daily Market Analysis.
- USDJPY bulls lock in 80 pips
- Silver up almost 3% this week
- Crude hits all bullish targets
1) USDJPY rebound lends bulls support
- Where and when was Target Price (TP) published?
In our Trade of The Week article on Monday 11th March:
We cautioned around the possibility of a “technical rebound” and highlighted how the USDJPY’s “14-day relative strength index (RSI) was already flirting with the 30 level”.
Note: When the 14-day RSI hits or goes below 30, this signals that prices are oversold.
- What happened since TP was published?
After failing to push lower, the USDJPY experienced a technical rebound on Tuesday thanks to the hotter-than-expected US inflation data.
This report cooled hopes around the Fed cutting interest rates in the coming months, boosting this dollar - which sent the USDJPY higher as a result.
Prices shot past the 147.20 resistance with the momentum briefly taking the currency pair above 148.00.
- How much in potential profits?
Traders who took advantage of the breakout above 147.20 and exited at 148.00 would have been rewarded with 80 pips.
Note: The USDJPY could be injected with fresh volatility on Friday due to the results of Japan’s wage negotiations.

- What happened since TP was published?
