USD/JPY Price Forecast: Fluctuates around 151.00, tests key technical levels

update 2024.10.23 00:32

  • USD/JPY flirts with the 151.00 level, driven by rising US Treasury yields but held back by key resistance at the top of the Ichimoku Cloud.
  • Momentum remains bullish, with the RSI hitting a new high, suggesting further upside towards the 200-DMA at 151.36 and beyond.
  • A break below 151.00 could see support at 149.68, with further downside risks targeting the October low at 149.09.

The US Dollar prints back-to-back gains against the Japanese Yen on Tuesday but struggles to clear the 151.00 figure decisively. At the time of writing, the USD/JPY trades at 150.92, as the US 10-year T-note yield keeps the pair contained at around current exchange rates.

USD/JPY Price Forecast: Technical outlook

The USD/JPY is testing key resistance at the top of the Ichimoku Cloud (Kumo) at around 150.80/95, with buyers eyeing the 200-day moving average (DMA) at 151.36.

From a momentum standpoint, buyers are in charge. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is reaching a new higher high, signaling bulls are gathering steam.

A daily close above the 151.00 figure could sponsor a test of the 200-DMA at 151.36. On further strength, the pair could test the July 25 swing low turned resistance at 151.93 before cracking 152.00.

Conversely, if USD/JPY dives beneath 151.00, the first key support would be the Tenkan-Sen at 149.68, ahead of the October 21 low of 149.09.
