FxWirePro: USD/JPY neutral in the near-term, scope for upward resumption

  • USD/JPY inched higher on Wednesday the greenback strengthened on expectations that Federal Reserve increase the US interest rate.
     
  • The U.S. Federal Reserve is due to release its policy statement at 2 pm EDT (1800 GMT), with the central bank widely expected to raise interest rates for the second time in three months.
     
  • Market participants will be watching for whether the Fed will signal an even faster pace of monetary tightening this year than the three rate hikes it projected in December.
     
  • Further downside in this pair should be limited as strong support at 114.00 should limit downside and bring rebound towards higher levels in the short term.
     
  • To the upside, the strong resistance can be seen at 116.00, a break above this level would take the pair towards next resistance level at 116.35.
     
  • To the downside immediate support can be seen at 114.63, a break below this level will open the door towards next level at 114.00.
