USD/JPY: Bullish Momentum Drives Pair Higher, New Targets in Sight 2/7/2024

The USD/JPY pair continues its upward trajectory, breaking through the 161.00 psychological barrier and reaching a new high of 161.72.

Technical Outlook:

On the 240-minute chart, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains strong, indicating continued buying pressure. The simple moving averages (SMAs) are also providing positive momentum, reinforcing the bullish outlook.

Upward Potential:

With the price firmly above the 160.95 support level, the upward trend is expected to persist. The initial target is 162.00, and a break above this level could accelerate the rally towards 162.40 and 163.00.

Downside Risks:

However, traders should remain cautious as a drop below 160.95 could trigger a temporary correction, potentially targeting 159.30 and 159.90.

Key Levels:

  • Support: 160.95, 159.30, 159.90
  • Resistance: 162.00, 162.40, 163.00

Important Note:

The release of high-impact U.S. economic data today, including the JOLTS report and a speech by the Federal Reserve Chairman, could induce significant price volatility. Traders are advised to closely monitor market reactions to these news releases.
