<p class=“MsoNormal“>On the daily chart below, we can
see that the pair keeps on falling pretty hard as Treasury yields keep sagging
due to the market pricing in the end of the Fed hiking cycle and several rate
cuts this year. This fast repricing was caused by the recent banking woes
around the regional banks. </p><p class=“MsoNormal“>The <a target=“_blank“ href=“https://www.forexlive.com/Education/technical-analysis-understanding-moving-averages-20220425/“>moving
averages</a> have crossed to the downside indicating a downtrend. The price though
is a bit overextended now, as we can see from the distance between the price
and the blue short term period moving average, which is generally a sign of a
looming pullback. </p><p class=“MsoNormal“>USD/JPY technical analysis</p><p class=“MsoNormal“>On the 4 hour chart below, we can
see that the market is trading within a downward channel. We can also see that
the price is <a target=“_blank“ href=“https://www.forexlive.com/Education/technical-analysis-understanding-divergence-20220429/“>diverging</a> with the <a target=“_blank“ href=“https://www.forexlive.com/Education/technical-analysis-understanding-macd-20220427/“>MACD</a> which is another sign of a
possible pullback as the selling momentum gets weaker. It’s hard to envision a
pullback without good US economic data though. Today we have the <a target=“_blank“ href=“https://www.forexlive.com/EconomicCalendar“>US PMIs</a> and we should see the price
rallying in case the data beat expectations and falling in case the data
misses.</p><p class=“MsoNormal“>On the 1 hour chart below, we
have a <a target=“_blank“ href=“https://www.forexlive.com/Education/technical-analysis-trendlines-20220406/“>trendline</a> that defines the current trend.
The buyers will need a break above it to target the top of the channel, while
the sellers will try to lean on it with the <a target=“_blank“ href=“https://www.forexlive.com/Education/technical-analysis-confluence-20220318/“>confluence</a> of the red long period moving
average as their first try for new shorts. </p>

<p class=“MsoNormal“>On the daily chart below, we can
see that the sellers leant on the strong <a target=“_blank“ href=“https://www.forexlive.com/Education/technical-analysis-support-and-resistance-20220405/“>resistance</a> zone at the <a target=“_blank“ href=“https://www.forexlive.com/Education/technical-analysis-trendlines-20220406/“>trendline</a> where we had <a target=“_blank“ href=“https://www.forexlive.com/Education/technical-analysis-confluence-20220318/“>confluence</a> with the red long period <a target=“_blank“ href=“https://www.forexlive.com/Education/technical-analysis-understanding-moving-averages-20220425/“>moving
average</a> and the resistance level at 32684. </p><p class=“MsoNormal“>The price has sold off from that
area as the Fed hiked interest rates by 25 bps and left everything else unchanged,
including QT and the Dot Plot besides the market pricing rate cuts this year.
So, the Fed is still resolute in bringing inflation down to their 2% target but
has also acknowledged risks around the banking sector.</p><p class=“MsoNormal“>Dow Jones technical analysis</p><p class=“MsoNormal“>On the 4 hour chart below, we can
see that after rejecting the trendline and the 61.8% <a target=“_blank“ href=“https://www.forexlive.com/Education/technical-analysis-using-fibonacci-retracements-20220421/“>Fibonacci
retracement</a> level, the price sold off pretty heavily before
bouncing the following day. The moving averages have crossed to the downside
meanwhile, which may be an early signal of a change in trend. </p><p class=“MsoNormal“>In the 1 hour chart below, we can
see that the sellers will now need a clear break below the 32225 level to gain
some control and start targeting the low at 31645. In case the sellers manage
to break the low, we may see a bigger selloff to the 31000 level. </p><p class=“MsoNormal“>The buyers, on the other hand,
will need to break above the trendline and the 32684 resistance level to regain
control and target the next resistance at 33500. </p>

6 Things You Need to Know </p>

<p>On the daily chart below, we can
see that the market found <a target=“_blank“ href=“https://www.forexlive.com/Education/technical-analysis-support-and-resistance-20220405/“>support</a> at the 1731 level and started to
range as buyers and sellers try to prevail on each other. The <a target=“_blank“ href=“https://www.forexlive.com/Education/technical-analysis-understanding-moving-averages-20220425/“>moving
averages</a> are still clearly crossed to the downside indicating a downtrend. </p><p>The <a target=“_blank“ href=“https://www.forexlive.com/news/forexlive-americas-fx-news-wrap-fed-hikes-25-basis-points-dollar-initially-falls-20230322/“>Fed
yesterday</a> didn’t offer much support for the market as they hiked by 25 bps and
kept everything unchanged, including QT and no rate cuts for this year besides
the market pricing for ones. This should indicate that they are still resolute
on bringing inflation down to their 2% target and that they may be seeing risks
in the economy that the market has not yet fully priced in. </p><p>On the 4
hour chart below, we can see more closely the range created between the support
at 1731 and the resistance at 1800 where we can also find the 38.2% <a target=“_blank“ href=“https://www.forexlive.com/Education/technical-analysis-using-fibonacci-retracements-20220421/“>Fibonacci
retracement</a> level of the entire selloff. </p><p>The
sellers leant again on the resistance and extended the fall as the Fed kept on
its tightening path, although they were less hawkish this time as risks around
the banking sector forced them to be cautious. </p><p>On the 1 hour chart, we can see
that the price has now pulled back a bit since yesterday’s selloff and it’s now
at the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level. We have also the red long period
moving average here for <a target=“_blank“ href=“https://www.forexlive.com/Education/technical-analysis-confluence-20220318/“>confluence</a>, so we should see the sellers
piling in here or the 50% Fibonacci level. </p><p>The target on the downside would
be first the support of the range and second new lower lows. The buyers, on the
other hand, will need to break above the 61.8% Fibonacci level to target again
the resistance and try a breakout to the upside. </p>
