The USD/JPY has been on a bit of a slide since last Thursday, hitting an eight-week low of around 147.40 during Tuesday's European session. Right now, it's eyeing the 147.00 mark as immediate support, right after a 38.2% Fibonacci retracement at 146.32.
The US Dollar (USD) is taking a dip, reaching a nearly three-month low due to some less optimistic outlook from the Federal Reserve (Fed). This is a big reason why the USD/JPY pair is going down. If this trend continues, it might lead to more bearish movements, possibly heading towards the psychological support around 146.00. If it breaks that level, we could see the pair going down to around 144.60.
But, on a positive note, there might be a bit of an upswing first. The major barrier is at 147.50, and if it breaks through that, we might see some support at 148.00. If things go well, the USD/JPY could explore levels around 149.00 or even 150.00.
Considering recent liquidity key levels created, we might see a bounce back to those price levels highlighted on the chart, possibly around the 62/70 fibs zone before it continues its downward movement. Since we're near the end of the year, prices might hang around in that zone for a bit before heading further down. What do you think? Please feel free to comment below!
