In the U.S. currency market yesterday, the U.S. dollar fell against the yen. The USD/JPY pair fell from 159.921 to 158.743. It is currently trading around 159.375 during Asian trading hours.On the hourly chart, the price is moving from above the 20-period moving average (MA) to below it, while on the 4-hour chart, it remains above the 20-period MA. On the daily chart, the RSI is beginning to decline from just below 70, so we should watch for a potential decline during U.S. trading hours.
Among European currencies, the euro rose against the yen.The euro/yen pair rose from 170.279 to 171.445. The rise followed the 10-period moving average (MA) on the hourly chart. On the 4-hour chart, the price rebounded from the 20-period MA, and on the daily chart, it has posted six consecutive bullish candles. We will be watching closely to see if the euro’s rise against the yen continues during European trading hours.
