On Tuesday, the USD/JPY pair added 54 points amid an overall strengthening of the dollar by 0.53%. The US stock market lost more than 1% of capitalization yesterday (S&P 500 -1.13%, Russell 2000 -1.36%), but investors are still guided by the situation with the dollar. We believe that after the hype subsides after the Federal Reserve's rate hike, the yen may strengthen under the pressure of stock indices.
While we are waiting for the price to rise to the nearest target of 145.10 - to the embedded line of the global price channel, if it is overcome, the growth will continue to the next line at 147.10. A price divergence with the Marlin Oscillator is possible in the area of the second target. This will be a sign of a trend reversal.
The price is consolidating under the MACD line (143.83) on the four-hour chart. Consolidating above it, as an initial success, will push the price to storm 145.10. The Marlin Oscillator is moving sideways in the positive area. We are waiting for the Fed's decision and the dollar's growth against the yen.
