USDJPY is the ticker symbol for United States Dollar vs Japanese Yen. USDJPY is a Forex CFD. The USD/JPY currency pairing is a representation of the amount of Japanese Yen (JPY) that can be bought for every US dollar (USD).
The standard contract size for USDJPY is 100000 with max lots of 1000 tradeable in 0.01 lot increments.
The USDJPY is a popular currency pair for traders. Here are a few trading strategies to consider when trading the USDJPY.
One popular strategy for trading the USDJPY is the carry trade strategy. This strategy involves selling the JPY and buying the USD, in anticipation of the USD rising in value relative to the JPY. The carry trade is a popular strategy because it allows traders to earn the interest rate differential between the two currencies. For example, if the interest rate on USD-denominated assets is 2% and the interest rate on JPY-denominated assets is 0%, then a trader who sells JPY and buys USD can earn a risk-free return of 2%.
This strategy does come with some risks, however. First, if the JPY starts to rise in value relative to the USD, then the trader will incur losses. Second, if interest rates change, then this could impact the returns that a trader earns on this trade. Therefore, it's important to monitor interest rate changes when employing this strategy.
Another popular strategy for trading USDJPY is trend following. This strategy involves buying or selling based on whether the currency pair is in an uptrend or downtrend. In order to determine whether the pair is in an uptrend or downtrend, traders can use technical indicators like moving averages or Ichimoku clouds.
There are some risks to this strategy as well. First, trends can change direction quickly and without warning. Second, there is often a lag between when a trend starts and when indicators signal that a change has occurred. As such, traders need to be careful about entering trades too late and missing out on profits.
A third popular strategy for trading USDJPY is range trading. This approach involves buying at support levels and selling at resistance levels. Traders will often use technical indicators like Bollinger Bands to identify these levels. The main risk with this strategy is that prices can break out of ranges without warning and move sharply in one direction or another. As such, traders need to be prepared to take losses if prices move against them outside of their expected range.
These are just a few of the many strategies that traders can use when trading USDJPY. There is no one "right" way to trade any currency pair, so it's important to experiment with different approaches and find what works best for you. Remember to always manage your risk properly and stay disciplined with your trading!

You analyze the USDJPY pair the same as any other market, by a combination of technical analysis, trend analysis, and any pertinent fundamental analysis or information that is available. You should think of the USD as the "anti-JPY", as if the JPY is soft, it generally means that there is a strengthening USD, and vice versa.
