USDJPY fell 1.23% throughout Thursday’s trading. The 75 basis point increase in interest rates has weakened the Dollar as the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield retreats below the 3.3% level. The interest rate difference between the U.S. and Japan will further encourage carry trades as the interest rate differential increases. The BoJ’s insistence on an easy money policy shows a stark contrast between the two central banks.
On the technical side, USDJPY has met its fresh resistance at 135.6, while support levels at 133.5 and 132.5 remain firmly intact. RSI for USDJPY indicates 66.18, as of writing. On the four-hour chart, USDJPy currently trades above its 50, 100, and 200-day SMA.
Resistance: 134.56
Support: 133.5, 132.5
EURUSD rebounded throughout Thursday’s trading. The dollar fell sharply after the FOMC raised interest rates by 75 basis points. The broad-based Dollar weakness allowed the Euro to rebound from earlier losses during the Europan and Asia trading hours.

On the technical side, EURUSD has found fresh support around the 1.038 price region. Near-term resistance has formed near the 1.049 price region. RSI for the pair has recovered from the oversold territory and is currently indicating 43.6. On the four-hour chart, EURUSD trades below its 50, 100, and 200-day SMA.
Resistance: 1.049
Support: 1.03783

The BoE is set to announce its interest rate policy and financial guidance during the European trading session.
