FX.co ★ USD/JPY bullish pattern activated

The USD/JPY pair was trading at 138.25 at the time of writing. It continues to move sideways in the short term after escaping from a major down-channel pattern. The price action signaled that the downside movement ended and that the price could come back higher.

It has changed little because the traders are expecting the BOJ. The Bank Of Japan is expected to keep the BOJ Policy Rate unchanged at -0.10% tomorrow. Still, the BOJ Press Conference, Monetary Policy Statement, and the BOJ Outlook Report could bring high volatility.
