• USD/JPY holds above the 50- and 100-hour EMAs with an upward slope.

The pair currently trades last at 146.448.

The previous day high was 146.75 while the previous day low was 146.27. The daily 38.2% Fib levels comes at 146.57, expected to provide resistance. Similarly, the daily 61.8% fib level is at 146.45, expected to provide resistance.

The USD/JPY pair oscillates in a narrow range near 146.42 during the early European trading hours on Tuesday. Market participants prefer to wait on the sidelines ahead of the release of US CB Consumer Confidence and JOLTS Job Openings for July due later in the North American session.

Apart from this, the Japanese Unemployment Rate increased to 2.7% in July from 2.5% in June, according to the latest figures from the Statistics Bureau. The figure rose for the first time in four months and exerted pressure on the Bank of Japan (BoJ) and the government. However, traders turn cautious to place buying bets amid the fear of FX intervention by the BoJ.

Technically, the USD/JPY pair stands above the 50- and 100-hour Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) with an upward slope, which means the path of least resistance is to the upside for the major pair.

The immediate resistance level for USD/JPY appears at a Year-To-Date (YTD) high of 146.75. Any meaningful follow-through buying will see a rally to the boundary of the Bollinger Band and a psychological round mark at the 146.90-147.00 region. Further north, the next barrier to watch for USD/JPY is located at 147.55 (a high of November 2022), followed by 148.00 (a round figure).

On the downside, the initial contention for the major pair is located at 145.80 (50-hour EMA). The next contention level emerges near a lower limit of the Bollinger Band at 145.55. Any intraday pullback below the latter would expose the next downside stop at 145.05 (100-hour EMA), and finally at 144.55 (a low of August 23).

It’s worth noting that the Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands in bullish territory above 50, which indicates that the upside momentum has been activated for the time being.
