Stronger US Dollar Across the Board
Last week EURJPY declined to its lowest level in over six months. However, the pair recovered all the losses and closed the weekly candlestick with a Doji pattern reflecting indecision in the market, i.e. the seller’s hesitation to keep pressing the price lower.
In turn, last week USD/JPY traded higher and printed on Friday 108.83 – its highest level in over two weeks, then closed with 0.9% profit.
Alongside this, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) remained flat moving around 40 and negating any effective momentum form the buyers nor the sellers for EURJPY. On the other hand, the oscillator pointed higher on Wednesday and crossed 50 indicating to USD/JPY buyers were gathering momentum for a possible start of upward move.
