Japan authorities need USD/JPY to remain under a cloud
July 23 (Reuters) -USD/JPY has struggled to recover since Japan's authorities helped push it lower to reach the daily Ichimoku cloud, which is a key component of a widely watched technical study. However, USD/JPY downside is limited until there is sustained trading under the daily cloud for multiple sessions.
The yen rose on Tuesday as investors reacted to comments from a senior Japanese politician that added to the pressure on the Bank of Japan to keep hiking rates to boost the currency. Japan ruling party executive Toshimitsu Motegi urged the BOJ to clarify its rate-hike resolve.
USD/JPY has relapsed this week to breach the cloud base, that currently spans the 155.91-156.31 region. If there are a series of daily closes under the cloud, that would likely see a bigger slide in coming sessions. However, those that are bearish should be mindful that last week the market failed to sustain a break under the cloud.
