USD/JPY Analysis

After last week’s strongly bullish move following a perception that the Bank of Japan would begin to extend negative interest rates, the Yen has rallied somewhat and this pair has fallen back to the closest support level, where it now sits at the time of writing. It is hard to forecast what is most likely to happen next ahead of the FOMC Statement due tomorrow. However it can be said looking at the chart that the primary movement still seems to be bullish, even though the pair is within a long-term bearish trend.

USDJPY

 Regarding the USD, there will be a release of Core Durable Goods Orders data at 1:30pm London time, followed later by CB Consumer Confidence data at 3pm. There is nothing due concerning the JPY.
