The US Dollar appreciated slightly against the Yen on Wednesday, thus returning near the 110 mark. The rate fluctuated around the given line, but failed to form a distinctive wave north. The expected move upwards may be realised in this session, as the Greenback should approach the upper boundary of either a senior or a junior channel down. Given the relatively stable move sideways, the former is likely to be breached this week. Along the way, the pair faces a resistance set by the 55-hour SMA and a cluster of the 100– and 200-hour SMAs circa 110.30 and 110.50, respectively. In case the 55-hour SMA is breached, the latter should halt the pair for the following 24 hours, leaving it in the 110.20/40 area. Traders should keep in mind that three sets of important data are released today.
