USDJPY Daily Chart Technical Setup and Indicators

USDJPY Technical Analysis: Steep Trend Angle and Price Action

The USD/JPY forex pair, commonly known as the “Gopher,” is one of the most actively traded pairs in the forex market, linking the U.S. dollar and the Japanese yen. It is highly sensitive to changes in U.S. monetary policy and Japanese economic data, making it a key indicator of the strength of the two largest economies. With the Federal Reserve expected to discuss potential hawkish adjustments in upcoming events today, including Federal Reserve Governor Michelle Bowman’s participation in the Independent Bankers Association of Texas Annual Convention and Neel Kashkari’s fireside chat, traders are keen to monitor any signals regarding future interest rate hikes. Increased hawkish sentiment could boost the USD, while dovish remarks could cause the USD/JPY pair to retract.
