USD/JPY Price Forecast: Technical outlook
From a technical perspective, USD/JPY is consolidating above the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 158.78, with buyers pushing the exchange rate towards the intervention zone around 159.00-160.00.
If that area is hurdled, the next area of interest would be the year-to-date (YTD) at 160.73, followed by the 161.00 figure.
Although momentum remains bullish, as indicated by the Relative Strength Index (RSI), further downside is expected as the slope approaches the 50-neutral level, an indication that sellers are gaining steam.
Downwards, the USD/JPY first support would be the 50-day SMA at 158.78, followed by the 20-day SMA at 158.14. A breach of the latter will expose the 100-day SMA at 157.59, followed by the May 14 daily low of 157.31. Below this area, look for the 157.00 mark.
