- USD/JPY sinks 1.13%, falling sharply to 152.59 as it moves decisively below the 200-day SMA and Kumo.
- Potential recovery hinges on reclaiming the 153.00 level, with resistance near the Kumo's lower edge at 153.35/40.
- Continued downtrend could target longer-term supports at December lows of 149.36 and 148.65.
The USD/JPY plummeted 175 pips on Wednesday, posting losses of over 1.13% as the pair cleared the Ichimoku Cloud (Kumo). This cements the pair's downtrend, with the Japanese Yen (JPY) set to appreciate in the short term. At the time of writing, the pair trades at 152.59.
USD/JPY Price Forecast: Technical outlook
Bears stepped in on Wednesday, pushing the USD/JPY below the Kumo and breaching the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 152.80. This has opened the door for further downside.
Despite this, a leg-up is on the cards, if buyers clear the 153.00 figure, which could pave the way to test the bottom of the Kumo at 153.35/40, offering sellers a better entry price. However, if it surpassed, the next resistance would be the 154.00 mark, followed by the February 5 high at 154.46.
If the downtrend continues, the USD/JPY first support would be the December 6 low of 149.36, followed by the December 3 low of 148.65.
