Last weekend, the U.S. dollar saw a seesaw battle against the yen. The USD/JPY pair began to decline ahead of the Bank of Japan’s monetary policy meeting.It fell as low as 147.205. However, the dollar recovered during U.S. trading hours, eventually rising to 148.286. On the 4-hour chart, the 200-day SMA is acting as a support level, causing prices to rebound, while on the daily chart, the pair is currently attempting to break above the 200-day SMA at the upper boundary of the range that has been in place since last month.
Among European currencies, the Swiss franc weakened against the yen. The CHF/JPY pair fell from 186.816 to 185.758. On the hourly chart, the price has moved from above the 20-period moving average (MA) to below it. On the 4-hour chart, the price has broken below the 20-period MA, which had previously provided support, and on the daily chart, the pair is currently pulling back from its all-time high. We will be watching closely to see if the Swiss franc continues to weaken against the yen at the start of the week.
