FX.co ★ Technical analysis on USDJPY for March 9th, 2023.

Black line- support trend line

Yellow rectangle- support

USDJPY is trading around 136-136.20. Price today broke below the short-term upward sloping trend line providing a new bearish signal. It is important for bulls to stay above the horizontal support and recent low at 135.27. Bulls hope this is a higher low under formation and not the start of a reversal. Bulls do not want to see price break below the yellow support area. If bulls fail to hold price above 135.27, then we should expect a deeper pull back for USDJPY towards 132-131. Tomorrow's non-farm Payrolls announced in the US and the final rate review by BOJ chairman Kuroda will play an important role as to the direction of the trend. Traders need to be patient.
