Most of the previous trading session the currency rate spent moving towards the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level located at 114.03. Nevertheless, this target was not achieved due to resistance area formed near the 113.70 mark.
As for today, a minor retreat back to 113.20 is possible. However, the Yen unlikely to gain much value due to pressure from the rising 55-, 100- and 200-hour SMAs.
On the other hand, it looks like the pair is moving in a new rising wedge formation, which presupposes a breakout towards the 50% retracement level.
In case of such mixed signals there is a need to turn to the overall fundamental picture, which is in favor of the buck, as markets anticipate the interest rate hike.
