USD/JPY market insights
Pivot points are a technical indicator that traders use to predict upcoming areas of technical significance, such as support and resistance. They're calculated by averaging the high, low and closing prices of a previous period. That could be a day, a week or a month.
If a market is trading above its previous pivot point (known as P), it is seen as a bullish signal. If it is below, it is bearish.
Support and resistance levels are a core part of technical analysis, providing crucial insight into possible future price reversals.

USD/JPY overview
USD/JPY is a forex pair that puts the US dollar against the Japanese yen, telling you how many yen it takes to buy a single US dollar. It is one of the most-traded currency pairs globally and is sometimes called the ‘gopher’ by FX traders.
The biggest difference between USD/JPY and the other major pairs is the value of the yen, which is much lower than the other major currencies. Because of this, a pip on USD/JPY is valued as 1% of a single yen, instead of 0.01% as with other pairs.
The yen is seen as a ‘safe haven’ currency among traders, so may rise in turbulent economic times.
