TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

The USDJPY is currently trading at 147.243, down 2.2769% from the previous close. The pair is currently in a downtrend, as evidenced by the following technical indicators:

— Moving averages: The 20-day, 50-day, and 200-day moving averages are all sloping downwards. This suggests that the downtrend is likely to continue.

—Relative strength index (RSI): The RSI is currently at 32.25, which is below the 30 level that is considered to be oversold territory. This suggests that the pair may be due for a bounce.

— MACD: The MACD is currently below the signal line, which is another indication that the downtrend is likely to continue.

FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSIS

The USDJPY is a popular currency pair to trade because it is considered to be a safe haven currency. This means that investors tend to buy USDJPY when they are worried about the global economy.

The Japanese yen is also considered to be a currency that is sensitive to interest rate differentials. This means that the USDJPY tends to rise when interest rates are higher in the United States than in Japan.
Trade active:
🔄 Unfortunately, I'm anticipating an UT retracement to about 148.19 (2H) before returning to its short

🖥 Lot's of News coming up, so it makes sense if they do a fake out then drop.
