The USD/JPY currency pair has found support in the 130.00 mark. However, it appears that all attempts to surge are being stopped in the 131.20/131.85 range. In this range all this week surge attempts have been reversed.

Economic Calendar



The top event of the week will take place on Tuesday at 13:30 GMT. The US Consumer Price Inflation data will be published at that time. The inflation data is set to reveal whether the US Federal Reserve was correct in its assumptions that inflation had slowed down its pace of growth.

On Wednesday, watch out for the US Retail Sales data and the Empire State Manufacturing Index. Both of these events might impact the US Dollar's value at 13:30 GMT.

On Thursday, the US Producer Price Index is set to reveal how inflation has changed at the producer level. The publication is scheduled for 13:30 GMT.

Hourly Chart
A surge of the US Dollar against the Yen would have to reach above the 131.20/131.85 range. Higher above, the 132.00 and 132.50 levels could slow down a surge, before the pair reached the February high at 132.93.

On the other hand, a decline of the US Dollar would look for support in round exchange rate levels, prior to approaching the February low levels at 128.08/128.17. Below this range, note the December low level zone at 127.20/127.45.
