Lazy Yen & Forex Technical Levels

From the New York Stock Exchange, my name is Kiana Danial they call me Invest Diva, the go-to investing advisor who helps you make extra money. If you are clueless about forex trading, please first visit the Learn to Earn page, and then come back here to hear about today’s diamond analysis on a currency pair, dancing on the forex dance floor.

The pick of the day is USD/JPY, the tired pair who has become extremely lazy these days and aren’t showing much action on the dance floor. The pair remains above the 50% Fibonacci level at 101.346, trying to pierce inside the prevailing Ichimoku cloud. The RSI is reversing up above its oversold area and now teasing above its neutrality area. Next bullish targets are still set at the 23% Fibonacci level at103.515 and the previous top at 105.45. A break below 100.3 would turn the outlook to bearish with a first alternative target at 97.7. On the fundamentals side, today we see a lot from the US including final GDP readings for Q4, jobless claims, and personal consumption. President Obama continues his European road trip, today he’s in Rome to meet Matteo Renzi.

Bank of Japan announced yesterday that they will reassess their economic assumptions in June to decide if further monetary easing is needed. A lot of people expect more QE from Prime minister Abe, particularly as their planned sales tax hike comes into effect next week, which risks further downside to growth for the yen, which will through the USD/JPY pair up.

More on Fundamentals

We’re likely to hear from the IMF today about their bailout package for Ukraine. The $15bn package should help bolster the country’s dwindling foreign exchange reserves, but comes at a cost to citizens of a 50% hike in gas prices as the loan comes on condition that that the government stop fuel subsidies.

Today we get UK retail sales at 09.30 – a big one for Sterling, as the market’s view of the currency has dimmed somewhat in recent weeks. We also get the Bank of England’s Financial Policy committee minutes to chew over.

Bitcoin Drops Entering 2026: Is It Still Worth Investing? The Answer Most Investors Miss

January 2, 2026 No Comments

Bitcoin has entered 2026 under pressure, with prices pulling back after a volatile period that left many investors questioning whether the opportunity has passed. Headlines are once again split between fear and optimism, with some calling the recent drop a warning sign and others viewing it as a healthy reset.

Unlike speculative assets that rely on constant growth stories, Bitcoin’s relevance continues to rest on its role as a scarce, decentralised digital asset that operates outside traditional financial systems. The key question for investors now is not whether Bitcoin will remain volatile – but whether this moment represents risk, opportunity, or something most investors misunderstand.

Why Big Tech Is Quietly Buying Western Digital (WDC) Stock

December 12, 2025 No Comments

Western Digital Corporation (WDC) has been on a tear, its stock price soaring over 270% year-to-date as of early December 2025.

This massive growth isn’t just hype; it’s fueled by a perfect storm of events, including the strategic spin-off of its flash business, SanDisk, and an insatiable global demand for data storage driven by the AI revolution.

As a now “pure-play” Hard Disk Drive (HDD) manufacturer, WDC is uniquely positioned as the landlord for the internet’s exploding data. But with such a meteoric rise, is there still room for growth, or is the stock overheated?
