Today's Scenario: - The USD/JPY pair is failing to reflect the dovish signals from the Bank of Japan's (BoJ) latest update, as bears continue to dominate and push the pair to refresh its weekly low around 133.90 in early Thursday trading. This move is being driven by the broad weakness of the US Dollar, cautious market sentiment, and downbeat Treasury bond yields.

Despite the BoJ's dovish signals, the Yen pair is failing to show any significant movement in response, suggesting that market participants are focusing more on the broader market factors mentioned above.

Buy Scenario: - To target the First Major Resistance Level (R1) at 135.16, the USD/JPY pair needs to break through the pivot at 134.63. If it manages to return to 135, it could signal a bullish session for the pair. However, this would require support from both the market risk sentiment and the US economic indicators to sustain a USD/JPY breakout.

If the USD/JPY pair experiences an extended rally, the bulls could test the Wednesday high of 135.470 but might not reach the Second Major Resistance Level (R2) at 135.99. The Third Major Resistance Level (R3) sits at 136.51. Till we did not advise to buy in USD/JPY.

Sell Scenario: - On the other hand, if the pair fails to move through the pivot, the First Major Support Level (S1) at 133.80 could come into play. However, it's unlikely that the USD/JPY pair would fall below 133, barring any major sell-off triggered by US economic data. The Second Major Support Level (S2) at 133.28 should limit the downside, and the Third Major Support Level (S3) sits at 132.44. Till we did not advise to sell the position in USD/JPY.
