NEWS: USDJPY price is increasing 0.4%. The Japanese yen weakened despite the Bank of Japan raising interest rates, while a hawkish U.S. Federal Reserve outlook kept the dollar supported.
Possible Scenarios:
If USDJPY fails to breach through R1 of 157.803, our Analysis Department expects USDJPY to undergo a short- term downward correction.
If USDJPY manages to break above its R1 of 157.803, our Analysis Department expects the USDJPY to extend its gains to its R2 of 158.196.
