USD/JPY collapses below 98.00 on FOMC
FXstreet.com (New York) - The USD/JPY foreign exchange rate toppled lower, shedding all its daily gains as it careened through the 98.00 region Wednesday.
In the United States, the highly anticipated FOMC interest rate decision came in at +0.25%, matching widespread expectations.
In these moments, the USD/JPY is once again on the decline, settling at the 97.91 level, incurring a loss of -0.10% on the day. The Mataf.net Analyst Team calculates the next short-term resistances for the USD/JPY at 98.42, onto 98.79, and finally 99.12. On the decline, supports will trigger at 97.71, ahead of 97.38.
USD/JPY strategic bias
According to the Technical Analyst Team at ICN.com, “The USD/JPY upside attempts remained limited below 98.60 forcing us to keep our negative expectations today. We should point out that breaking 97.65 is significant for the downside move to extend as Linear Regression Indicators support negativity.”
