The USD/JPY reclaims the 159.00 figure after reaching a weekly low of 158.26 amid mixed economic data in the US, strengthening the US Dollar, which rose to a two-day high of 98.29 according to the US Dollar Index (DXY). At the time of writing, the pair trades at 159.17, up 0.11%.
USD/JPY Price Forecast: Technical Outlook
The USD/JPY pair remains upwardly biased, but verbal intervention by Japanese authorities could prevent the pair from testing the 160.00 figure and the subsequent year-to-date (YTD) high at 160.46.
Worth noting that momentum remains bullish, according to the Relative Strength Index (RSI), but over the last sessions, it has been trending lower, about to cross below the index’s neutral level, hinting that sellers are stepping up.
However, if USD/JPY extends its gains past 159.50, a test of the 160.00 is on the cards. Once surpassed, the next area of interest would be the YTD high at 160.46, followed by July 10, 2024, at 161.81.
On the downside, the first support is 159.00, ahead of diving towards the day’s low of 158.26. Below this are the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 157.61 and the 100-day SMA at 156.97.
