Frequently Asked Questions
Why does USD/JPY sometimes move 200+ pips instantly?
The Bank of Japan has a history of direct currency intervention when the yen weakens beyond certain thresholds. These interventions cause massive, instant price dislocations.
Is USD/JPY good for scalping?
Yes, USD/JPY offers tight spreads (often 0.1-0.5 pips) and smooth price action, making it excellent for scalping strategies, particularly during the Asian and US sessions.
What overnight swap do I pay/receive on USD/JPY?
Due to the interest rate differential between the Fed and BOJ, holding long USD/JPY positions often earns a positive swap, while shorts incur a cost. The exact amount depends on your firm's broker.
