Summary: JPY crosses rejected at key strong resistance levels. They could all be caught range trading next 5-8 days before deciding on a direction. Keep an eye on the key levels as outlined in this analysis
USDJPY bounce has spiked above the key strong resistance at around 144.95 to the 0.50 retracement at 146.08 only to lose momentum and close back below the key resistance.
A close above is needed for upside momentum and to establish a bullish trend.
RSI is still below 60 threshold i.e., in negative sentiment.
USDJPY needs to close above 141.55 and RSI to close above 60 to establish and confirm and uptrend.
However, there is strong overhead resistance at around 146.59 (minor) and 147.50 (strong). Around that area the 55 and the 100 DMAs are adding to the resistance.
If USDJPY is failing to close above 144.55 the cross is likely to be sliding back to 142.85 possibly lower.
If December low at 140.25 is taken out USDJPY is likely to sell-off down to around 138
AUDJPY rang out of steam just a few cents short of the strong resistance at around 97.58
RSI is still in negative sentiment failing to break and close above the 60 threshold thus indicating AUDJPY to slide back towards the key strong support at around 95.80
The JPY pair could however, be caught range bound between 97.58 and 95.80 for the next few days possibly weeks
GBPJPY rejected at key resistance at round 184.32. RSI also rejected at 60 threshold meaning sentiment is still negative.
A set back to around 180 could be seen. However, the rising 200 DMA will provide support.
