Comprehensive USD/JPY Analysis for November 24, 2023

In this comprehensive analysis, Ultima Markets brings you an insightful breakdown of the USD/JPY for 24th November 2023. 

USD/JPY Key Takeaways 

• Normalization of monetary policy: Japanese inflation data rose for the first time in four months. This is contrary to the previous view of the Bank of Japan that inflation will slow down, and to a certain extent strengthens expectations for the normalization of monetary policy. 
• The Japanese economy is under pressure: Rising living costs have squeezed consumer spending. On the one hand, rising prices have caused consumers to be afraid to spend, putting downward pressure on the economy. On the other hand, the weak yen and high domestic import costs have aggravated the rise in price levels. The Bank of Japan is in a dilemma.

USD/JPY Daily Chart Insights

• Stochastic Oscillator: The indicator sends a long signal above the oversold zone. This implies to a certain extent that the bulls currently have the upper hand, but this may be due to the fact that the bears are not exerting any force. 
• Resistance area: The red 65-day moving average once again supported the decline. The upward trend line that was broken earlier has now become a resistance to the further upward movement of the exchange rate. This price is also near the 33-day moving average.

• Price Action: The daily candlesticks of the previous three trading days has been formed a bullish pattern. In theory, long opportunities can be found after the exchange rate breaks through yesterday’s high.
