What can we expect from USDJPY today?
USDJPY on Thursday rose 0.19% to 154.62. Price is above 9-Day EMA while Stochastic is falling in overbought zone.
Updated daily direction for USDJPY looks mixed as the pair is likely to consolidate above 154.15 (S1).
Looking ahead today, to see upside interest, we prefer to look at price breakout of last daily high of 154.68 or trades above daily pivot 154.42. While to the downside, the daily low of 153.95 and 154.15 (S1) as immediate support levels. USDJPY need to break on either side to indicate a short-term bias. A break above 154.68 would suggest bullish bias after recent positive movement.
For the week to-date, take note that USDJPY is bullish as the pair continued to trade higher and is up by 0.9% over the past few days.
