FX.co ★ Forecast for USD/JPY on February 18, 2021

USD/JPY

Yesterday, the USD/JPY pair corrected down after a significant increase on Tuesday. The price found support at the peaks of February 5 and 8. The formed divergence on the daily chart can deepen the correction, up to the price channel line in the area of 105.30. If the observed divergence is not strong, the price will continue to rise to the target range of 106.50 / 65 in a day.

On the four-hour chart, support is clearly visible at the local peaks on February 5 and 8. The MACD indicator line is already rushing to the level of 105.66, and this reduces the likelihood of a deeper correction.

But there are no obvious conditions for growth today. The sideways trend will probably continue, after which, tomorrow, such conditions may appear.
