USD/JPY Price Analysis: 50-DMA defends buyers above 113.00
|- USD/JPY struggles around two-week low after dropping the most since March 2020.
- 50-DMA, previous resistance line from March restrict short-term downside.
- October’s top acts as extra upside filter ahead of the latest multi-month peak.
USD/JPY remains pressured around a 13-day-low, reversing the early Asian rebound ahead of Monday’s European session.
The yen pair sellers cheered broad risk-off mood the previous day to break an ascending support line from late September, now resistance around 114.00.
The downside, however, witnesses a steady RSI line and the 50-DMA level near 113.15 as immediate challenges to tackle.
Even if the USD/JPY sellers break 113.15 DMA support, the resistance-turned-support line from March 2021, close to 112.80, will precede September’s peak of 112.00 to challenge the pair’s further weakness.
Alternatively, a clear upside break of the immediate resistance line, previous support around 114.10, will direct USD/JPY bulls towards the last month’s high surrounding 114.70.
Should the pair buyers keep reins past 114.40, the 115.00 threshold and the recent high near 115.50 can test the advances.
