The USD/JPY currency exchange rate has revealed that it faces resistance at the 136.28/136.38 zone. The zone was strong enough to cause a decline, which by the middle of Wednesday's European trading hours had almost reached the 135.00 level.

Economic Calendar



Watch out for the Wednesday's Federal Reserve's FOMC Meeting Minutes at 18:00 GMT.

On Thursday, the ADP Non-farm Employment Change might impact the markets through the value of the US Dollar.

On Friday, the United States are scheduled to release their monthly employment data at 12:30 GMT. Expect the data release to consist of the Average Hourly Earnings, Non-Farm Employment Change and the Unemployment Rate.

Hourly Chart
In the case of the pair declining below the 135.00 mark, support could be found in the 134.75/134.80 zone, before the rate approaches the 134.50 level. Further below note the late June low level zone at 134.25/134.35.

Meanwhile, a recovery of the US Dollar against the Japanese Yen could encounter resistance in the combination of the 50, 100 and 200-hour simple moving averages and the weekly simple pivot point near 135.50/135.70. Higher above, recall the 136.00 level and the 136.28/136.38 zone.
