FX.co ★ Forecast for USD/JPY on April 9, 2024

USD/JPY

The USD/JPY pair covered the entire range of target levels 150.80-151.95 in two days. On Friday, the price turned upwards from the balance line (red moving average) and from the level of 150.80. This morning, the upper boundary of the range and the embedded line of the global price channel (blue) have been tested.

The signal line of the Marlin oscillator is directed upwards in the positive territory. Consolidating above 151.95 will pave the way for the price to hit the target level of 154.25. A downward movement is possible after the price breaks through 150.80. The pair has a good potential to rise.

On the 4-hour chart, the price has settled above the balance indicator line, testing resistance at 151.95. The Marlin oscillator is in the uptrend territory. Consolidating above 151.95 opens the nearest target along the MACD line at 152.45. Surpassing yesterday's low at 151.58 will ease the bullish pressure and shift the focus to 150.80.
