The decline of the US Dollar against the Japanese Yen found support in the 134.75/134.80 zone. Meanwhile, since Friday the pair has been encountering resistance in the 135.50 mark and the 50 and 200-hourly simple moving averages.

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 near term future, a potential surge would face the combined resistance of the 50 and 200-hour simple moving averages, the weekly simple pivot point at 135.58 and the 135.50 mark. Above these levels, note the previously ignored 100-hour simple moving averages and the 136.00 mark, which acted as resistance during the midnight hours form Thursday to Friday.

However, a decline of the US Dollar against the Japanese Yen might look for support in the 135.00 level, before approaching the 134.75/134.80 zone. Further below, note the June 23 and 24 low levels at 134.25/134.35.
