USDJPY falls toward rising 100 hour MA. Key technical barometer

USDJPY

USDJPY falls for only the 3rd time in 17 days today

The USDJPY has seen the price rise 14 of the last 16 days. Today, it is looking like a down day as trader flows head more into the European currencies (especially the EUR) on peace hope in Ukraine.

The USDJPY’s pair move to the downside today, has seen the price move below the 38.2-50% of the most recent trend move higher (see hourly chart below). That area comes between 123.13 to 123.59. The low price reached to 122.48 before bouncing. At the low the pair got within about 11 or so pips of the rising 100 hour MA. The price of the USDJPY has not traded below its 100 hour moving average since March 7.

The  USDJPY 
USD/JPY

The USD/JPY is the currency pair encompassing the dollar of the United States of America (symbol $, code USD), and the Japanese yen of Japan (symbol ¥, code JPY). The pair’s rate indicates how many Japanese yen are needed in order to purchase one US dollar. For example, when the USD/JPY is trading at 100.00, it means 1 US dollar is equivalent to 100 Japanese yen.  The US dollar (USD) is the world’s most traded currency, whilst the Japanese yen is the world’s third most traded currency, resulting in an extremely liquid pair, and very tight spreads, often staying within the 0 pip to 2 pip spread range on most forex brokers. Although the range of the USD/JPY isn’t traditionally particularly high, the lack of large price action often associated with other JPY pairs does make it easier to trade.This is especially true for short-term traders, although without offering a great pip potential. Even though the USD/JPY is the world’s second most traded pair, it’s not as popular as one might think with regards to retail traders.The pair carries a reputation as “boring”, although this isn’t an entirely accurate reflection. Trading the USD/JPYThe JPY is highly regarded as a safe haven currency, with investors often increasing their exposure following periods of uncertainty or market-induced fallouts.As both the US and Japan are highly developed economies, there are several key factors affecting the value of either currencies. This includes a range of economic indicators such as gross domestic product (GDP) growth, inflation, interest rates and unemployment data. Monetary policy by the US Federal Reserve and Bank of Japan are also large determinants in the value of each currency.

has moved up from the March 4 low of 114.642 to the high price reached yesterday at 125.193. That move of took the price up 1055 pips over 16 trading days (a little over three weeks). The correction over the last day has taken the price down around 260 pips of that move. However, unless the price can move below the 100 hour moving average, the sellers may be winning a battle and the trend-like momentum may now be more balanced, but the sellers are not close to winning the war.

There are other support targets at the rising trend line on the hourly chart at 121.78 and the 200 hour moving average at 120.976 (and rising). Get below those levels, and the sellers start to make more headway on the war.

Correction time? It seems that way.

Watch 123.132 (50% on the hourly) as close resistance. Stay below and sellers are comfortable for a change.
