USD/JPY Price Analysis: Choppy above 200-HMA inside short-term triangle

  • USD/JPY struggles to move in Asia.
  • Either side break of the triangle can quickly challenge the monthly high/low.
  • A sustained break above 200-HMA keeps the buyers hopeful.

USD/JPY registers dormancy while taking rounds to 107.76, above 200-HMA, during the early Thursday. In doing so, the pair stays inside an eight-day-old ascending triangle formation.

With sustained trading above 200-HMA, coupled with the normal RSI conditions, USD/JPY prices are inching closer to pierce the formation resistance, currently at 108.10.

Should there be a clear break above 108.10, 108.60 and 109.10 can offer intermediate halts during the pairs’ run-up to challenge the monthly top surrounding 109.30.

On the flip side, pair’s trading below 200-HMA level of 107.65 needs to slip under the triangle’s support of 107.40 to aim for the monthly low near 106.90.
