In doing so, the Yen pair justifies the previous day’s downside break of the 150.00 support confluence comprising the 200-SMA and a 2.5-month-old bullish channel’s lower line. Adding strength to the downside bias are bearish MACD signals. However, the...
USDJPY rises for the sixth consecutive day while poking the yearly high marked in October, mildly bid near 151.70 during early Monday.

It’s worth noting that the previous...
USDJPY bounces off 200-SMA while testing the previous day’s rising wedge confirmation as Yen traders respond to the Bank of Japan’s (BoJ) inaction.

However, the...
USDJPY began the trading week on a back foot within a two-month-old rising wedge bearish chart formation. That said, the Yen pair snapped a four-week uptrend in the last but failed to confirm the rising wedge, neither it could break the 200-SMA support.

USDJPY extends Friday’s rebound from the nine-week-old rising support line while printing the fresh high of the year 2023.

USDJPY again flirts with the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement of the October 2022 to January 2023 downturn within a five-month-long bullish channel. Though, the overbought RSI (14) and looming bear cross on the MACD signal pullback of the Yen pair.

However, a nine-month-old previous support line, close to $1,950, precedes a...
USDJPY posted a three-week winning streak but ended Thursday on a negative note. That said, a convergence of 50-SMA and a seven-week-old horizontal area surrounding 145.00-145.10 restricts the immediate downside of the Yen pair. Following that, the early-month high of around 143.90 and the 200-SMA level of around 142.15 will act as the final defense of the buyers....
Gold braces for the fourth weekly losses even as a one-month-old falling support line defends intraday buyers.

Even so, the Cable pair’s successful trading above the 11-month-old descending trend line close to 1.2320 at the latest, as well as beyond an upward-sloping trend line since the last September, keeps the buyers hopeful. Adding strength to the shorter ascending trend line...
