USD/JPY: Pullback in USD can extend to 153.20 – UOB Group

The US Dollar (USD) could trade in a choppy manner, likely between 153.80 and 155.10. In the longer run, pullback in USD could extend to 153.20, UOB Group’s FX analysts Quek Ser Leang and Lee Sue Ann note.

USD can lower down to 153.20

24-HOUR VIEW: “After USD plunged last Friday, we indicated yesterday that ‘While the sharp and swift sell-off appears to be overdone, there is a chance for USD to drop below 153.85 before stabilisation can be expected.’ USD dipped briefly to 153.84, rebounded strongly to 155.35, and then pulled back, closing at 154.65 (+0.20%). The price action has resulted in a mixed outlook. Today, USD could trade in a choppy manner, likely between 153.80 and 155.10.”

1-3 WEEKS VIEW: “Our update from yesterday (18 Nov, spot at 154.20) remains valid. As highlighted, ‘The current price action is likely part of a pullback that could extend to 153.20.’ On the upside, should USD break above 155.80 (no change in ‘strong resistance’ level), it would mean that the current downward pressure has eased.”
