The USD/JPY grinds high as Wall Street closes, though retraced from weekly highs reached just above the 50-day EMA, at around 135.49, but FOMC’s minutes tumbled the pair towards the 135.00 figure before the NY close. At the time of writing, the USD/JPY is trading at 135.06.
US equities were lower on Wednesday, portraying risk aversion. The greenback weakened but held to gains against its counterpart’s safe-haven peers, and per the US Dollar Index, recorded modest gains of 0.16%, at 106.645.

The USD/JPY remains upward biased, despite retracing from daily highs. The break above the confluence of a downslope-trendline and the 20-day EMA opened the door for additional gains, further reinforced by the Relative Strength Index (RSI) just crossing above 50, a bullish signal. A decisive break above the 50-day EMA at 135.38 would open the door for further upside, being the first target, the July 27 daily high at 137.46.
In the shorter time-frame, as I wrote in yesterday’s article, “ … the major might print a leg down before resuming the higher-time frame uptrend towards 135.00 and beyond.” On Wednesday, the USD/JPY printed a leg down, towards the 200-hour EMA, just above the 50% Fibonacci retracement around 133.90, and resumed the uptrend. However, it faced sold resistance at 135.49 and consequently fell towards the 135.00 figure, ahead of Thursday’s Asian session open.
However, the USD/JPY is neutral-to-upward biased, and the first resistance will be the August 17 high at 135.49. Break above will expose 136.00, followed by the July daily high at 136.57.

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
