USD/JPY surge is stopped by US data

The surge of the US Dollar against the Japanese Yen had encountered resistance at the 162.00 mark and the rate was looking for support to resume the surge. Support appeared to be once again found in the 50-hour simple moving average near 161.50. However, then US fundamental data was published and the pair plummeted.

In general, the Chairman of the Federal Reserve Jerome Powell stated on Tuesday that the Fed needs more data before cutting interest rates. On Wednesday, various US data sets were released either below expectations or at forecast. This caused the drop.

If the decline of the Dollar continues, the rate is set to look for support in the 161.00 level and the ascending 200-hour simple moving average. Further below note the 160.50 and 160.00 levels and the weekly simple pivot point at 160.28. It appears that the pair could continue downwards due to all potential support being spread out.

On the other hand, a resumption of the broader surge of the Dollar and decline of the Yen might encounter resistance in the combination of the 50 and 100-hour simple moving averages and the 161.50 level. Higher above, note the weekly R1 at 161.81 and the 162.00 mark, which is currently an almost half-a-century high for this pair.
