In the U.S. currency market yesterday, the U.S. dollar traded in a seesaw pattern against the yen. The USD/JPY pair fluctuated between 153.548 and 154.718, with price action straddling the 20-period moving average (MA) on the hourly chart.On the 4-hour chart, the 20-period moving average is acting as resistance, while on the daily chart, the pair appears poised to break below the 20-period moving average, which had previously served as support. Furthermore, during today’s Asian trading session, the pair is falling with enough momentum to potentially break below yesterday’s low, so traders should pay close attention to price action during U.S. trading hours.
Among European currencies, the Swiss franc rose against the yen. The CHF/JPY pair rose from 172.630 to 174.054. It moved from below the 20-period moving average (MA) on the hourly chart to above it.On the 4-hour chart, the price has recovered to just below the 20-period moving average (MA), and on the daily chart, the 200-period simple moving average (SMA) is acting as support. However, as resistance has been strong during today’s Asian session, we will be closely monitoring price movements during the European session.
