USDJPY 4 HOUR CHART – 155 OR BUST
The key level is clear at 155, not only a major pivotal level but 155.20 is just above it.
I am not saying there was a hidden hand protecting 155 but price action suggest there was someone protecting this level.
On the downside, only back below 154.40 would deflect the focus from 155,

‘The market is right’: Former Fed policymaker Mester sees fewer rate cuts next year after Trump’s victory – cnbc
The U.S. Federal Reserve could carry out fewer rate cuts than previously expected next year should President-elect Donald Trump’s proposed global tariffs take hold, former Fed policymaker Loretta Mester said Tuesday.
Correction: Markets are now expecting 1 percentage point of cuts in the first half of 2025, according to median poll forecasts cited by Reuters. An earlier version misstated the figure.
I am biased AND I am suspicious of the Dem’s

How to approach to coming news and events
We have a very special situation on our hands boys and girls – in previous period it was all about Interest Rates and FOMC / ECB decisions , but now the rules are about to change.
We can call these two coming months : Pre Trump Era
There are already gazillion speculations on how the incoming Gov in USA will influence the world, markets and our daily livelihood – but those are exactly that – Speculations.
And until Trump takes a Crown, we can expect some very wild stories and even wilder reactions of the markets.
Do not fall for any of it – not only that no one really knows what’s gonna happen next, but you can’t rely even on statements coming directly from The Man – he tends to talk a lot, but at the end results are at best mixed.
