USD/JPY Technical Analysis: Greenback bulls looking to grind it out to 2018’s highs

  • 2018’s high set in early January lies close at hand, but yesterday’s failure to claim the key level is seeing a minor pullback underway on the intraday charts.
  • July has seen the Dollar rise against the JPY in one-sided trading, with little sign of a technical slump yet to develop.
  • Markets continue to price in a strong, steady rate hike path for the US Fed looking forward; a missed rate hike or dovish turn to the central bank could see the bull-ride end quickly.
