CNH/JPY market insights

Pivot points are a technical indicator that traders use to predict upcoming areas of technical significance, such as support and resistance. They're calculated by averaging the high, low and closing prices of a previous period. That could be a day, a week or a month.

If a market is trading above its previous pivot point (known as P), it is seen as a bullish signal. If it is below, it is bearish.

CNH/JPY overview

CNH/JPY is an exotic forex pair representing the exchange rate of Chinese renminbi to Japanese yen. The value of CNH/JPY measures how many yen equal one renminbi.

The Chinese renminbi goes by several currency codes depending on where it is traded. CNH represents the currency in offshore markets while CNY is used when trading in mainland China. The renminbi’s value is driven by monetary policy from the People’s Bank of China, which maintains a currency peg to the US dollar with a 2% margin.

China and Japan maintain a fairly balanced level of trade. China’s top exports to Japan are computers, while Japan mostly exports motor vehicles to China.

Forex explained

When is the forex market open for trading?

The forex market is open for trading 24-hours a day from 10pm (UTC) on Sunday to 10pm (UTC) on Friday. That means with FX, you can build your trading strategy around your schedule, instead of having to conform to when a stock exchange is open.

However, there are times when the market is much more active, and times when it is comparatively dormant. To learn the best times to trade forex, read our dedicated page.

Where is forex traded?

Forex is traded via a global network of banks in what’s known as an over-the-counter market – unlike shares and commodities, which are bought and sold on exchanges. Because of this, you can trade forex 24-hours a day.

FX trading is split across four main ‘hubs’ in London, Tokyo, New York and Sydney. When banks in one of these areas close, those in another open, which is what facilitates round-the-clock trading.

However, there’s no physical location where these banks and individuals trade with each other. Instead, it is entirely online.

Why do people trade currencies?

People trade currencies for lots of different reasons. You’ve probably traded a currency if you’ve ever bought goods overseas, for example, or gone on a foreign holiday. However, the vast majority of FX trading is done for profit.

Currencies are constantly moving in value against each other. On any given day, the pound might be rising against the dollar, while the euro falls against the Swiss franc. Forex traders buy and sell currency pairs to try and take advantage of this volatility and earn a return.

For instance, if the pound is rising against the dollar, you might buy GBP/USD. When you buy this pair, you’re buying pound sterling (GBP) by selling the US dollar (USD). Then, if the pound continues to outpace the dollar, you can sell the pair to exchange your GBP back for USD and keep the difference as profit.
