FOMC to trigger USD/JPY volatility
“USD/JPY rebounded, alongside higher UST yields after US data came in better than expected.”
“Daily momentum is not showing a clear bias while RSI rose. Bias to the downside but still cautious of near term rebound risks. Resistance at 143.67 (21 DMA), 144.60 (23.6% fibo retracement of 2023 low to 2024 high). Support at 140.50, 139.60 and 138 levels.”
“FOMC decision should see USD/JPY trade wild into and post-decision, press conference.”
