USD/JPY Looks to Correct Yesterday’s Gains

By Yan Petters – During yesterday’s trading session the USD/JPY pair gained over 200 pips, reaching a 3-month high. This came after 3 weeks of relatively peaceful trading that did not include any sharp movements. However, at the moment it seems that a mild bearish correction is likely to take place in response to yesterday’s rising trend.

• The chart below is the USD/JPY 4-hour chart by ForexYard.
• The technical indicators used are the Bollinger Bands, the Slow Stochastic, the MACD and the Relative Strength Index (RSI).
• The pair reached a 3-month high at the rate of 92.50 yesterday, yet it has dropped ever since.
• A bearish cross of the Slow Stochastic suggests that the bearish correction is likely to proceed.
• The MACD has reached the 0.425 level recently, also suggesting that the bullish move has been limited.
• The bearish correction has potential to reach the 91.50 level. If the pair will manage to breach through this level, its next target will be the 90.50 level.
