USDJPY rebounded from Fib0.618% level
Uppdaterad
On Friday (July 5), data from the US Department of Labor showed that US nonfarm payrolls increased by 206,000 jobs in June. The May data was revised sharply downward to show an increase of 218,000 jobs, compared to the previous value of 272,000.
The unemployment rate rose to 4.1% in June, slightly above expectations of 4.0%. Friday's nonfarm payrolls report showed US jobs growth slowed slightly in June while the unemployment rate rose, reinforcing the view that the Federal Reserve could start cutting interest rates capacity in September.
Data-wise it is not favorable for the USD and this creates some pressure on USD/JPY. But the general picture is that USD/JPY still tends to increase fundamentally because the interest rate difference between the Fed and BOJ is still very large.
On the daily chart, after
USDJPY correction since testing the edge on the price channel (a), the correction also received support from the 0.618% Fibonacci extension. Note to readers in the previous issue.
The 0.618% Fibonacci level acts as short-term support, while the EMA21 moving average and trend price channel (a) act as main supports and are also the main trend of USD/JPY.
In the short term, as long as USD/JPY remains above the 0.618% Fibonacci level, it will remain supported and the possibility of a downside correction will remain limited and the target level in the near term is aimed at the 0.786% Fibonacci level.
In case USD/JPY falls below 160.204 it has room to correct a bit more with EMA21 and Fibonacci 0.50% as targets. However, during the day the uptrend of USD/JPY will still be noticed by the following technical levels.
Support: 160,204 – 159,896
Resistance: 161,951 – 162,464

From a technical perspective, USD/JPY is trending neutral to bearish as more negative technical signals appear. This, coupled with the release of decelerating inflation, could put pressure on the greenback and push the pair lower. Momentum shows that sellers are dominant, paving the way for the next downtrend.Kommentera

USD/JPY steady above 154.40 despite growing expectations of BoJ rate hike The yen extended its decline for the second straight session on Tuesday. Traders remain cautious ahead of the Bank of Japan's (BoJ) policy meeting on Wednesday, which is likely to see the bank raise interest rates. The market is predicting that the BoJ could raise interest rates by 10bps to 0.1% and is expected to announce plans to cut its bond buying program.
