USD/JPY – Demand for Safe Harbor Continues, Parity is Below 133.00…
After the banking crises that started with the USA and continued with Europe, the Japanese Yen was gaining value as a safe haven together with Gold. Today, this process continues and it is now well below the 50-day simple average. However, we will pay attention to the daily candle close. If daily candles close below the 200-day average and/or below the 133.00 level, a gradual continuation of the moves in favor of the Japanese Yen can be predicted. In this case, we will first watch the 130.60 and then 127.50 levels.
In possible reactions, we will follow the probability of holding above 133.00.
EUR/USD
EUR/USD – Right next to the Six-Month Uptrend…
The pair was pulled back from 1.0735 to 1.0530 yesterday due to the rapid depreciation of the Euro due to Credit Suisse yesterday. Here, we have seen that both the 1.0530 support works and the daily candle close on the uptrend line from 0.9550 as a result of the reaction after hitting the support.
Today, while the pair continues at 1.0595 levels, it continues to stay on the trend. The ECB stated that they are determined to fight inflation for the future, while increasing interest rates by 50 basis points. However, he also stated that they attach importance to the recent banking crises. He said that they will continue to depend on data in the future, while making decisions in an environment of uncertainty.
Technically, if the uptrend from 0.9550 is broken by daily candles, a sentiment against the Euro will become stronger and the downward pressure on the pair will increase. We will pay attention to this.
Although there are intermediate resistances in possible attacks, the main resistance is 1.0735.
