What can we expect from USDJPY today?
USDJPY on Thursday dropped -0.4% to 143.97. Price is below 9-Day EMA while Stochastic is falling in overbought zone.
Updated daily direction for USDJPY looks bearish as the pair posted lower in Thursday trading session.
Looking ahead for the day, immediate support level is at 143.46 (S1) with break below could see further selling pressure towards 142.96 (S2). To the upside, with the current momentum bearish, we prefer to look at breakout of the recent daily high of 144.65 as a potential indicator of buying interest. Failure to break the resistance level would continue to echo bearish sentiment. A close below 143.55 would indicate selling pressure.
