USD/JPY breaks pattern

Source: Dukascopy Bank SA


The lower trend line of the channel up pattern kept the USD/JPY up for 17 hours straight. On Wednesday, at 09:00 GMT, the currency pair passed below the trend line and a sharp decline had started. By 10:00 GMT, the pair had reached below 130.00.

The ongoing decline is expected to look for support in the combination of the 100 and 200-hour simple moving averages and the weekly simple pivot point in the 129.10/129.70 range. Further below, note that the 129.00 and 128.50 levels have acted as support and resistance.

On the other hand, a recovery of the US Dollar against the Japanese Yen could encounter resistance in the 50-hour simple moving average near 130.30 and the 130.50 level.
