USDJPY Technical Analysis

Analyze the daily chart of the USD/JPY exchange rate. RFB Chairman Jerome Powell emphasized the “data-dependent” stance on additional rate hikes. There was no mention of the timing of a rate cut, indicating that the risk of events in the direction of a stronger yen has passed once and for all. On the technical front, the uptrend is likely to continue as the GMMA is forming a shape indicating trend strength.

Also, on the daily chart, 146.80 yen corresponds to 61.8% of the Fibonacci retracement. USD/JPY is likely to continue its uptrend, and a break above 146.80 yen is expected for further upside.
