USDJPY cracks lower but having trouble staying below the 50% retracement

  • USDJPY needs to stay below the 50% retracement level at 147.727

The USDJPY moved sharply lower on the back of lower yields, and in doing so cracked below MA support with sustained momentum. However, the break of the 50% midpoint of the move up from the October low, could not be sustained.

If the sellers are to take more control, getting and staying below the 50% is needed. Absent that, and the central bank fundamentals continue to support the pair. The USDJPY needs the technicals to keep the sellers in control.
