1. USD/JPY Analysis:

News Summary:

Japan, as one of the world’s major oil importers, sources more than 90% of its crude oil from the Middle East, with nearly all shipments passing through the Strait of Hormuz. The strait is currently experiencing significant disruptions to shipping, with several maritime companies suspending transit, resulting in a notable decline in crude deliveries to Japanese refineries. The situation has moved beyond mere price volatility and is now creating physical supply shortages. Corporate inventories are being depleted more rapidly, and production schedules are facing increasing adjustment pressure.

Trend Analysis:

We can see USD/JPY on the H4 chart continues to trend upward and remains above the 48 hours moving average. In addition, both the MACD double line and histogram bars are expanding above the zero axis. The buy limit could be placed, stop loss is necessary.

2. Crude Oil Analysis:

News Summary:

The global crude oil market has experienced a historic shock triggered by a geopolitical storm. As the United States and Israel launched military actions against Iran, and Iran subsequently announced the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz, panic over supply disruptions quickly swept through the market. Oil prices have surged uncontrollably this week, with crude rising more than 70% since late February. Market attention has shifted away from traditional supply-and-demand fundamentals and toward the navigability of the Strait of Hormuz and the duration of the Middle East conflict.

Trend Analysis:

On the H4 chart, we can see crude oil continues to surge sharply and remains above the 48 hours moving average. On the other hand, the MACD double line and energy bars are expanding above the zero axis. The buy limit could be set, stop loss is mandatory.
