USDJPY Price Action Targets Further Gains on H4 Chart

USDJPY Bullish Momentum Continues Above Key Levels

The USD/JPY forex pair, often referred to as the “Gopher,” is one of the most traded currency pairs in the forex market. It reflects the exchange rate between the US dollar (USD) and the Japanese yen (JPY), influenced by economic data from both economies and central bank policies. Today, the focus is on the release of the US Treasury International Capital (TIC) report, building permits data, housing starts, and a speech by Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller. A higher-than-expected TIC reading or hawkish tones from Waller may strengthen the USD, pushing USD JPY price higher. On the Japanese side, attention remains on the Core CPI, as inflation figures could impact Bank of Japan’s future policy stance. If the US data shows strength, USD/JPY could gain momentum, continuing its upward trajectory.
