USD/JPY fell below the resistance level of 145.90 ahead of the release of key consumer inflation data in the US. A neutral or positive figure will likely lead to a reversal of the pair downwards, which may develop into a deeper decline.
Earlier, the drop in expectations for the easing of Fed interest rates provoked growth in the pair, from the local support level of 140.85.
Technical picture and trading tips:
The quote lies in the upper part of the Bollinger Bands, below the SMA 5, but above the SMA 14. The RSI also fell below the overbought zone, continuing its gradual decrease. Similarly, the stochastic indicator actively declined and even broke out of the overbought area.
The pair could fall to 0.6700 after overcoming 0.6750. The unsuccessful consolidation above 145.90 could also lead to a fall of the pair to 143.75.
