Technical analysis:

Market overview:
Monetary authorities in Japan have suggested that the yen may experience renewed pressure after a three-month period of easing. Despite the Bank of Japan maintaining its existing policies, the yen is at risk of being negatively affected by an intensified interest rate differential game. This game is expected to be more aggressive than last year, as yield spreads between Japan and the US have widened for both short and long-term yields. Japan can use the current higher interest rate environment to competitively devalue its currency to support national exporters. This is an opportunity that was missed during the previous decade, when interest rates were at zero.
