‘The foreign exchange market’s main focus remains whether or not Trump can carry out his policies, and whether the U.S. economy will stay strong enough for the Fed to stick to the path of rate hikes.’ – Sony Financial Holdings (based on Business Recorder)
Pair’s Outlook
The USD/JPY currency pair weakened for the fourth time in a row yesterday, unable to maintain trade in the green zone. According to technical studies, another leg down should take place, however, that might not be the case. The weekly S1 is providing immediate support at 110.27, while the 110.50 level is providing additional psychological support, which altogether could help the Greenback to post a mild recovery. Nevertheless, gains are unlikely to exceed 50 pips, as the weekly PP represents the upper border at 111.23. The pair is expected to remain within this trading range, namely between the weekly S1 and PP.
Traders’ Sentiment
Although not as strong as yesterday, but market sentiment remains bullish at 67%. The portion of sell orders surged from 37 to 66%.
