USD/JPY Technical Analysis: Cross-driven strength, teasing falling wedge breakout

  • The 100-pip jump in the EUR/JPY seems to have lifted the USD/JPY pair to a session high of 111.84.
  • Italy is considering bringing down its fiscal deficit to 2 percent of GDP in 2021, a local newspaper reported earlier today. The news has put a bid under the EUR.
  • The USD/JPY is currently trading above the upper edge of the falling wedge seen in the hourly chart. A bull breakout, if confirmed, would open add credence to ascending (bullish) 5-day and 10-day exponential moving averages (MAs) and would open up upside toward the November 2017 low of 111.74.
