Despite a slight rebound following the BoJ's decision, the Japanese Yen (JPY) still faces multiple challenges. The USD/JPY pair temporarily dipped below 153, but technical indicators suggest that its long-term upward trend remains intact. The combination of the BoJ's loose monetary policy and the possibility that the Fed may soon pause rate hikes continues to support the USD.
The technical chart shows strong support at 152.89, acting as a solid anchor to potentially halt further declines in the pair and pave the way for a short-term recovery. However, if resistance at 153.53 is encountered, prices may adjust back to the 153.07 support zone before resuming the upward trend.
Traders should keep an eye on these support and resistance levels to identify short-term trading opportunities.
