Trading signal for USD/JPY on February 7-8, 2023: sell below 132.40 (21 SMA- GAP)

Early in the American session, the USD/JPY pair is trading at 131.88, below the 21 SMA and above the 200 EMA. We can see a slight recovery in the Japanese yen. It is likely to fall and cover the gap that it left around 131.17 and the second one located at 130.32.

As long as the Japanese yen trades below 132.40 (21 SMA), there is a chance that any bounce will be seen as a signal to sell. The eagle indicator reached the extreme overbought zone and a technical correction is likely to form in the coming days.

Above 132.50, the Japanese yen is likely to resume its bullish cycle so that it could reach 3/8 Murray around 134.37 and ultimately head for the psychological level of 135.00.

Our trading plan for the next few hours is to sell below 132.40, with targets at 131.25 and 130.40 (200 EMA). The eagle indicator is giving a negative signal which supports our bearish strategy.
