Forecast for USD/JPY on July 9, 2021

USD/JPY

Stock indices showed a significant and expected decline on Thursday: S&P 500 -0.86%, Euro Stoxx 50 -2.13%. The first powerful impetus came from Japan - the government extended the quarantine until August 22 and announced the Olympic Games without spectators. As a consequence, the USD/JPY pair fell by 87 points and reached the target level of 109.80.

The Marlin oscillator has penetrated deep into the negative area. At the moment, the price is holding on to the target level and is preparing to reach the next level at 109.20 - by the June low.

The price is consolidating at the target level of 109.80 on the four-hour chart. The signal line of the Marlin oscillator turns down below the upper border of its own channel. We are waiting for the price to fall further.
