USD/JPY Analysis: Pressured by 55-hour SMA
|USDJPY
During Friday, the USD/JPY currency pair surpassed the support level formed by the Fibonacci 50.00% retracement at 109.58.
Given that the pair is pressured by the 55-hour moving average, currently located at 109.65, it is expected, that bears could continue to prevail in the market. A possible downside target is the psychological level at 109.20.
On the other hand, the exchange rate could trade sideways, trying to surpass the given resistance. It is unlikely, that the rate could step higher due to the resistance level formed by the 100– and 200-hour SMAs, as well the monthly S2 at 109.97.
