FX.co ★ Forecast for USD/JPY on September 6, 2024

The USD/JPY pair broke through the support at 143.60 yesterday. This movement was supported by the Marlin oscillator, which settled in the downtrend territory. The target range of 139.70-140.27 is now open before the price.

This range coincides with the embedded line of the descending price channel. In the 4-hour chart, the price consolidated below the 143.60 level. The Marlin oscillator attempts to rise and defuse before a probable downward move.

The yen did not weaken after today's release of household spending data, which showed a 1.7% decline in July following a 0.1% increase in June. This indicates that investors are bullish on the yen. We are waiting for the US data.
