USD/JPY Technical Analysis: Recovering some losses post-Trump comment on rate hikes

  • USD/JPY fell about 80 pips after US President Trump said that he didn’t like interest rate hikes and a strong USD in a CNBC interview. However, USD/JPY already recovered about 45 pips to the upside.  
  • USD/JPY took a strong hit and is now trading below the 50, 100 and 200-period simple moving averages.  
  • As long as USD/JPY stays below 112.64 it could indicate that the bearish correction is not over yet and that the bearish pressure can persist.
