USD/JPY failed to hold above 150 and slipped below its 200-day moving average, with focus now shifting to support at 146.20/145.40. A break lower could open the door to further downside, Société Générale’s FX analysts note.
USD/JPY slips below 200-DMA
“USD/JPY recently encountered strong resistance near 150 and has dipped below the 200-day moving average, indicating a lack of sustained upward momentum. It is now gradually approaching a multi-month ascending trend line in the 146.20/145.40, which serves as short-term support.”
“Failure to overcome recent peak at 150 may signal a continued pullback. If the pair is unable to defend 145.40, there could be a risk of another down leg.”
