USD/JPY Stepping Up to Key Resistance Ahead of Fed, BoJ

111
It's a big week for both the U.S. Dollar and the Japanese Yen.

Last week started with a sell-off in USD/JPY following results of elections that came in over the weekend. I looked at support structure in the pair shortly after, and the 145.92 level came into play to hold the lows in early-Thursday trade and since then bulls have been going to work.

The pair is now nearing a big batch of resistance with the July high of 149.19 followed by the 200-day moving average and the 150.00 handle in the pair.

USD/JPY is key for larger themes of USD-strength and if we do hear the Powell talk down the prospect of a September cut, and the BoJ relax on rate hike talk, there could be bullish fundamental move to be priced-in on the pair this week. - js
