The USD/JPY Pair: An Overview of Recent Trends
As the world’s top investment manager, I am closely monitoring the USD/JPY pair’s movements, especially after it recently hit a year-to-date low of 139.58 before recovering to 140.85 with minimal gains of 0.03%. Let’s dive into the technical analysis and forecast for this major currency pair.
Technical Outlook and Forecast
Despite the ongoing downtrend, buyers stepped in to support the USD/JPY pair, pushing it above December’s 28 low of 140.25. If the pair manages a daily close above this level, we could see a potential move towards 141.00, with key resistance levels to watch out for:
- Tenkan-Sen at 142.57
- Senkou Span A at 143.52
- Kijun-Sen at 144.48
While momentum remains bearish, the appearance of bullish patterns like a ‘dragonfly doji’ or a ‘hammer’ could signal a reversal and a leg higher for the USD/JPY pair. Keep an eye on these patterns to gauge potential price movements in the near future.
