Technical Analysis of USD/JPY
After settling below the 142.00 level, the US Dollar started to continue downward. Even below the 140.00 support level, the USD/JPY fell and entered a bearish zone.
The pair has positioned itself considerably below the 140.00 level, the 100 simple moving average (red, 4-hours), and the 200 simple moving average, according to the 4-hours chart (green, 4-hours).
A decline below the 136.50 support level also occurred. Before an upward correction, the most recent low was recorded near 134.51. Overcoming the 135.80 resistance area, the pair corrected. However, the 137.20 zone is a busy area for bear activity.
On the same chart, a significant negative trend line with resistance close to 137.15 is also developing. Near 137.50 may serve as the next significant resistance. A definite move above the 137.50 resistance could signal the beginning of a persistent rise.
Failure to do so could result in another fall below the 135.50 support. Near the 134.50 zone is the next significant support. The pair may move toward the 133.80 support area if there are any additional losses.
When looking at EUR/USD, the pair continued to rise over the resistance of 1.0680, and more gains seem likely.
