The Japanese Yen begins the week on a strong foot as the USD/JPY falls some 0.67% amid an improvement in risk appetite, following the White House's delay of attacks on Iran for 5 days and its claim that the US had "very productive" talks with Tehran. At the time of writing, the pair trades at 158.06.
USD/JPY Price Forecast: Technical Outlook
Last Friday, the USD/JPY technical picture was bullish-biased, but the sudden reversal on Monday could open the door to a test of the next key support at 156.45, the March 5 swing low.
Momentum remains bullish but appears to be fading, as indicated by a falling Relative Strength Index (RSI) that is about to clear the 50-neutral level.
If USD/JPY closes the day below the 20-day SMA at 157.91, it would form a bearish engulfing pattern, clearing the way for further downside. The next support would be 157.50, followed by the 157.00 figure, the March 5 cycle low, and the 100-day SMA at 156.16. Below this level, the next area of interest is the February 23 daily low at 153.99.
On the upside, bulls must climb back above 159.00 if they want to remain hopeful of challenging the 160.00 milestone.
