The USD/JPY retreats in early trading during the North American session after economic data showed the US economy grew lower than expected a day after the Federal Reserve (Fed) decided to keep rates unchanged. The pair trades at 154.09, down 0.76%.
Data from the United States (US) weighed on the Greenback, as Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for the last quarter of 2024 dipped from 3.1% to 2.3%, missing investors' estimates of 2.6%. At the same time, the US Department of Labor revealed that Jobless Claims for the week ending January 25 increased by 207K beneath forecasts of 220K and the previous week 223K.
After the data, the USD/JPY extended its losses toward 153.83, but buyers reclaimed the 154.00 figure.
The Japanese Yen extended its gains as there was a divergence between the Bank of Japan (BoJ) and the Fed, favoring the former's appreciation. Therefore, further USD/JPY downside is seen, as US GDP data could signal the economy may be decelerating at a faster pace.
This week, the Japanese economic docket will feature the Unemployment Rate, Industrial Production, and Retail Sales. In the US, the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge, the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index, and Fed speakers.
The USD/JPY has fallen inside the Ichimoku Cloud (Kumo), indicating that sellers are gathering momentum after clearing the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 154.97. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is bearish. Therefore, bears could be confident that they are in charge.
For a continuation they need to exit the Kumo, clearing the Senkou Span B at 153.76. Once done, sellers could drive the USD/JPY towards the 200-day SMA at 152.85 ahead of the 100-day SMA at 152.22.

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.
