USD/JPY technical analysis: Greenback sidelined ahead of the FOMC

  • The market is directionless ahead of the event, which should unlock the situation. 
 

USD/JPY daily chart

 
 
USD/JPY is trading in a bear trend below the 200-day simple moving averages (SMA). However, in the last two months, USD/JPY had a substantial advance which is now challenging the 100 SMA and the 108.00 handle. 
 
 

USD/JPY 4-hour chart

 
 
USD/JPY is trading above the main SMAs, suggesting a bullish bias in the medium term. The bull trend remains intact as bulls will try to push the spot beyond the 108.24 resistance level in order to potentially target the 109.00 resistance level, according to the Technical Confluences Indicator. However, the market is relatively balanced and the FOMC at 18:00 GMT will likely unlock the status quo.
