The ZAR/JPY currency pair price fell by -1.31% on the last day (Wednesday, 17th Jun 2026) from JP¥9.91 to JP¥9.78. During the last trading day the currency pair fluctuated 1.99% from a day low at JP¥9.72 to a day high of JP¥9.92. The price has risen in 6 of the last 10 days and is up by 0.23% over the past 2 weeks. Volume has increased on the last day by 19 thousand shares but on falling prices. This may be an early warning and the risk will be increased slightly over the next couple of days. In total, 19 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately JP¥189.70 thousand.

The currency pair lies in the middle of a narrow and weak rising trend in the short term and a further rise within the trend is signaled.

ZARJPY Signals & Forecast

A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Tuesday, June 16, 2026, and so far it has fallen -1.31%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). ZAR/JPY gained volume on the last day, but on falling prices. In technical terms, this is called divergence and may be an early warning. In some cases, increasing volume on falling prices may be considered positive, but that is mainly in typical "sell-offs". Some positive signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The ZAR/JPY currency pair holds a sell signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, there is a buy signal from the long-term average. Since the short-term average is above the long-term average there is a general buy signal in the currency pair giving a positive forecast for the currency pair. On further gains, the currency pair will meet resistance from the short-term Moving Average at approximately JP¥9.80. On a fall, the currency pair will find some support from the long-term average at approximately JP¥9.65. A break-up through the short-term average will send a buy signal, whereas a breakdown through the long-term average will send a sell signal. The currency pair had a Golden Star Signal on Tuesday, May 19, 2026 in the long-term chart.

Golden Star Signal is when the short-term moving average, the long-term moving average, and price line meet in a special combination. This combination is very rare and often followed by long and strong gains for the currency pair in question.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for ZAR/JPY currency pair

ZAR/JPY finds support from accumulated volume at JP¥9.43 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.

In general the currency pair tends to have very controlled movements and with good liquidity the risk is considered very low in this currency pair. During the last day, the currency pair moved JP¥0.193 between high and low, or 1.99%. For the last week the currency pair has had daily average volatility of 1.07%.

Our recommended stop-loss: JP¥9.43 (-3.52%) (This currency pair has very low daily movements and this gives very low risk. There is a sell signal from a pivot top found 1 day ago.)

Trading Expectations (ZARJPY) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Thursday 18th

For the upcoming trading day on Thursday, 18th we expect ZAR/JPY to open at JP¥9.81, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between JP¥9.73 and JP¥9.83, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-JP¥0.107 (+/-1.10%) up or down from last closing price. If ZAR/JPY takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 1.10% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at JP¥9.79 (0.12%) than the support at JP¥9.43 (3.60%), our systems don't find the trading risk/reward intra-day attractive and any bets should be held until the stock is closer to the support level.

Is ZAR/JPY currency pair A Buy?

Several of the signals/indicators are negative, and we believe that this will affect on the development for the next days and maybe possible weeks. However, over time, we think that today's level holds a possible buying opportunity and that the price will be higher during or at the end of this 3-month period.
