Key quotes
“Japan has fallen into recession, according to the Q1 GDP estimate, which anyway was better than anticipated. The economy contracted by 0.9% in the three months to March, and by 3.4% when compared to the first quarter of 2019.”
“The 4-hour chart shows that the USD/JPY pair continues to develop between mild-bearish 100 and 200 SMA, while technical indicators stand flat above their mid-lines.”
“USD/JPY is neutral and with limited bullish potential, as it would need to break above 107.70 to become more attractive for bulls.”
