The USD/JPY extends its gains for the second straight day, drifting higher above the 160.00 threshold, in an intervention zone. Still, it remains shy of the year-to-date (YTD) high of 160.72 set on April 30, the same day the pair plunged nearly 500 pips amid the BoJ's market intervention.
USD/JPY Price Forecast: Technical outlook
The USD/JPY recovered April’s 30 losses in 28 trading days, and despite momentum remaining bullish—as depicted by the Relative Strength Index (RSI)—, fears that Japanese authorities could step in to push the pair lower are keeping buyers from testing the YTD high of 160.72, ahead of the 161.00 mark.
The RSI is bullish at 64, approaching overbought conditions, though its advance has been steady, an indication of traders' caution.
On the downside, if USD/JPY drops below 160.00, the first support would be 159.50, followed by the June 3 low at 159.36. Below these levels, the next support would be the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 158.95, followed by the 100-day SMA at 157.82.
