In the U.S. currency market the previous day, liquidity declined because U.S. stock markets were closed for Independence Day, and the daily trading range for USD/JPY remained just under 50 pips.USD/JPY has been fluctuating around the 20-period moving average (MA) on the 4-hour chart, with a battle unfolding between the support level of 144 yen and the resistance level of 145 yen. Note that the FOMC minutes will be released today, so traders should be on the lookout for significant price movements following the release of the summary.
European currencies saw the euro fall against the yen after Germany’s May trade balance, released yesterday, declined to 14.4 billion euros from 18.4 billion euros the previous month. The euro/yen pair fell by about 70 pips from 157.903 to 157.147.During today’s Asian trading session, downward and upward momentum are currently in a stalemate around the 157.242 level. We will be watching to see if price action picks up during U.S. trading hours.
