The positive correlation between the US 10-year yield and the pair pushed the exchange rate to 149.13, up 0.37%. USD/JPY Price Forecast: Technical outlook The USD/JPY is still neutrally biased, though trading in a higher range within the 148.00-149.50 area, as traders decipher the Fed and the Bank of Japan's next move. From a momentum standpoint, buyers remain in charge, yet the Relative Strength Index (RSI) hasn’t reached a new peak to push USD/JPY prices higher. If USD/JPY clears the 149.50 area, this will immediately expose the 150.00 figure. Once removed, the next resistance would be the 200 and 100-day moving averages (DMAs) confluence at 151.20/21. Conversely, if the pair drops below 149.00, look for a pullback toward the October 8 swing low of 147.35.
