USD/JPY Analysis: Confined By Two Moving Averages

After trading at its March high of 107.50 early on Friday, downside risks took over the market and pushed the pair down to the support of the 100-hour SMA, the 23.60% Fibo retracement and the weekly PP.

The pair remained near this level on Monday morning as well, thus being stranded between the 55– and 100-hour SMAs during the Asian session. Technical indicators suggest that the rate is more likely to push higher in this session towards the upper boundary of a three-week channel. This line, however, is unlikely to be reached today. In case of a strong bullish sentiment, the US Dollar could test the weekly R1 and the 38.20% Fibo at 108.00.

Meanwhile, the downside target for today is the 200-hour SMA and a breached channel line at 106.00 which might be used to form a retracement.
