USD/JPY 4-hour chart
USD/JPY is trading between the 50 and 100 SMAs, suggesting a consolidation in the medium term. The market is trading above the 107.80 support with little bullish conviction as the 50 SMA is capping gains.
USD/JPY 30-minute chart
Dollar/Yen has been trading in a range for the last six days. The drop on Thursday was sharp and bulls will have to bring the market back above the 108.50 level in order to attract more buyers. On the flip side, a daily close below 107.80 could open the gates to further losses towards 107.50 and 107.25, according to the Technical Confluences Indicator.
