USD / JPY pair
The pair is falling on the background of political risks for the fourth day. Investors bought the yen against the dollar on traditional ideas about the yen as a safe haven currency but stock markets are growing on both sides of the hemisphere. This could change investor sentiment and the dollar will continue to grow again. On the daily chart, the price did not reach the support of the green line of the price channel but this is not a prerequisite for a reversal yesterday. In general, the price is in a growing position, according to all indicators. A reversal with subsequent growth to the nearest target 108.26 may occur today from current levels. The price exit above 108.26 opens the second target to 109.10, which is the resistance of the subsequent embedded line of the price channel.
On the four-hour chart, the price is still in a downward position on all indicators, including the leading Marlin oscillator. Therefore, even if the growth option is the priority, it should be treated with caution. A signal of growth will be the price exit above the MACD line at the level of 108.10, where it is now more than 50 points. Past 15 points above will already be the first goal, from which a downward correction is not excluded. In the event of any other disturbing geopolitical news, the development of a "bearish" target 107.22 is possible. There may be some departure of the price to move lower without fixing below it on a daily scale. Fixing of the price starts a lowering scenario with the target of 106.50, which is the MACD line on daily.
