Price level opened at 84.24. The pair went down 2 pips  then consolidated after. The insignificant decrease might be just a  correction. Resistance level is quantified at 84.40 while support is at  82.33. The resistance level was just formed yesterday as the pair  successfully broke the then resistance at 84.33 which was recorded in  December 1. Yesterday seemed like just a continuation of a rebound  uptrend since the pair had a bearish reversal two days ago. As the pair  made a new resistance level, it is most likely to stay on a bullish  sentiment towards the end of the trading session. Further, MACD (12, 26,  9) seems to be stable at signal 0.1360. It is nowhere near the neutral  grounds. Looking at its historical data, there is a chance that MACD can  reach signal as high as 0.2754 before it tries to calm down.  Channelling to another indicator, %R (14) started a day exiting from the  overbought level. As of the moment, the indicator is trying to reach  level -50 but it had only touched -52.07 then and from there had a  reversal. It may take a couple more candlesticks at the H1 chart for the  price level to reach the maximum overbought level then go down at  neutral grounds or even near the oversold base.<\/p>\n<p>Strong Housing Figures May Continue the Greenback&#8217;s Rise Against Other Majors<\/p>\n<p>For  the upcoming American session, the strong housing market data is  expected to help the US Dollar gain against other major currencies as  Building Permits is expected to rise 0.57M for November, higher than the  0.55M reported for October. This annualized figure is very important  for the housing market, as this is an excellent gauge of future  construction activity, because obtaining a permit is among the first  steps in constructing a new building. Housing Starts is also expected to  improve, as economists expect an increase of 0.55M. This indicator is  closely correlated with Building Permits but can produce a more  expansive ripple effect on the US economy.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from these,  Unemployment Claims is also scheduled for release with economists  hinting that the number would still be unchanged at 421.K. Although this  number remains at its current level, it does not necessarily mean an  increase of employment. The Philadelphia Fed Manufacturing Index, which  surveys manufacturers in Philadelphia and gauges industry conditions, is  expected to lower its reading from 22.5 to 15 for this month. A  lower-than-expected figure could shake the markets and trigger another  round of risk aversion.<\/p>\n<h3>About the Author<\/h3>\n<p>Forex Signs, Inc., Founded in 2006 in Wall Street, New  York City, FSI relentlessly strives to be the premier Forex brokerage  company in the industry by providing exclusive and unmatched trading and  investment related services while constantly developing innovative  solutions that cater to the vast requirements of both individual and  institutional market participants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The USDJPY pair started today&#8217;s session with a soaring upward trend at the H1 chart.
