USD/RUB Technical Analysis: Short-term bearish reversal confirmed

The USD/RUB pair created a large spinning top on Monday and posted a negative follow-through yesterday, confirming a short-term bullish-to-bearish trend change. As a result, the 10-day moving average (MA) support of 65.92 could be put to test.
It appears the relief rally in Turkish lira is likely helping the Russian Rouble (RUB) score gains against the greenback.
However, the downside in USD/RUB could be limited as the relief rally in the TRY could be short-lived, given the TRY put value is holding near record highs.

USD/JPY recovers to 154.00 amid hawkish BoJ repricing

USD/JPY is recovering from six-month lows of 152.89, retesting 154.00 in European trading on Tuesday. However, the upside attempts appear limited as Japan's upbeat wage growth data and Q2 GDP revision cement bets on a BoJ rate hike next week and continue to boost the Japanese Yen. Meanwhile, US Dollar selling remains unabated despite hawkish Fed expectations and rising geopolitical tensions, lending additional support to the pair.
