USD/JPY Technical Analysis: Greenback retreats to the 108.00 level ahead of the FOMC minutes

USD/JPY daily chart

  • USD/JPY is having a deep pullback below the 50, 100 and 200-period simple moving averages (SMAs).  
  • The FOMC minutes scheduled at 19:00 GMT will likely provide high volatility in the forex market.

USD/JPY 4-hour chart

  • USD/JPY rejected the 109.00 figure along with the 50 SMA.  

USD/JPY 30-minute chart

  • USD/JPY found some support at the 108.00 figure and  bears need a break below that level for a continuation down.  
  • On the flip side, bulls are still alive but they must break above the critical 109.00 resistance in order to open the doors to 110.70 resistance.
