USDJPY trading is available 24 hours a day from Monday to Friday, aligning with the global forex market hours. The most active trading periods are during the overlap of the London and New York sessions, and the Tokyo session. Please see the USDJPY contract details for spread, swap, and other specifics.
Taking a short position in USDJPY means you are selling the US dollar and buying the Japanese yen. This means you expect the value of the USD to decrease relative to the JPY. For example, if you short USDJPY at 110.00 and the price falls to 109.50, you profit from the 50 pip decrease. However, if the price rises, you experience a loss.
Conversely, taking a long position in USDJPY means you are buying the US dollar and selling the Japanese yen. This means you expect the value of the USD to increase relative to the JPY. For example, if you long the USDJPY pair at 110.00 and the price rises to 110.50, you profit from the 50 pip increase. However, if the price falls, you incur a loss.

The value of USDJPY is influenced by several key factors, including interest rate differentials between the US and Japan, economic data releases, and politics.
For example, if the Federal Reserve increases interest rates while the Bank of Japan maintains low rates, the USD may strengthen against the JPY, driving the USDJPY pair higher. Similarly, positive US economic data, such as higher GDP growth, can also increase USDJPY.
