Fundamental Analysis

USDJPY Technical Analysis

The daily chart of USDJPY shows the 26-day moving average acting as a support level. The announcement of unusual tariffs targeting the film industry has stirred uncertainty in the market. As this is an unprecedented measure, its potential impact remains unclear but is likely to be perceived negatively.

The RSI remains at 48, and market sentiment is evenly split between buyers and sellers. Whether USDJPY will break below the 26-day moving average is likely to become a key focus.
