USD/JPY: Has a chance to rise to 151.00 – UOB Group

FXStreetOct 18, 2024 10:28 AM

The US Dollar (USD) is likely to trade in a 149.40/150.35 range. In the longer, momentum has improved slightly; it remains to be seen if USD could rise to 151.00, UOB Group’s FX analysts Quek Ser Leang and Peter Chia notes.  

Likely to trade in a 149.40/150.35 range

24-HOUR VIEW: “We did not anticipate USD to soar to 150.32 (we were expecting range trading). The advance appears to be running ahead of itself, and USD is unlikely to rise much further. Today, USD is more likely to trade in a 149.40/150.35 range.”

1-3 WEEKS VIEW: “We have held a positive USD view since the start of this month. As we tracked the advance, we indicated two days ago (16 Oct, spot at 149.10) that ‘the price action over the past few days did not result in further increase in momentum.’ We highlighted that ‘a breach of 148.40 (‘strong support’ level) would indicate that USD is not rising further.’ Yesterday, USD broke clearly above 150.00, reaching a high of 150.32. Momentum has improved, albeit not much, and it remains to be seen if USD could rise to 151.00. On the downside, the ‘strong support’ level has moved higher to 149.00 from 148.40.”
