Last Friday, the yen experienced a decline, reversing the strong trend observed on Thursday. This shift in market dynamics was attributed to the transition of focus from speculations about the Bank of Japan's recent monetary policy to robust Japanese jobs data. On the other side of the Pacific, the US economy exceeded expectations by creating more job openings last month, prompting investors to scale back their expectations of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut in the coming year. Furthermore, the increase in US Treasury bonds and the strength of the US dollar are additional factors contributing to the yen's depreciation.
Following the release of the US non-farm data, USD/JPY swiftly rebounded, with the MACD double line and bar chart forming a golden cross below the zero axis. Nevertheless, it is still trading below the 48-hour moving average, suggesting the possibility of a short-term pullback.
-> Sell strategy can be applied and stop loss is necessary.
