Slips below 155.00, upper descending channel pattern

USD/JPY loses ground after three days of gains, trading around 154.90 during the European hours on Monday. On the daily chart, technical analysis indicates a potential bullish reversal as the pair is testing the upper boundary of the descending channel pattern.

The USD/JPY pair steadies around the nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and remains capped beneath the 50-day EMA at 155.63. The 50-day EMA has begun to roll over, limiting recovery attempts. A daily close above the 50-day EMA could open room toward resistance, while failure to reclaim the short-term average keeps the tone heavy.

The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 46 (neutral) points to stabilizing momentum. RSI recovering from 23 toward the mid-40s suggests fading bearish pressure; a move above 50 would improve the setup.

Near-term trend bias is fragile as the nine-day EMA has flattened. A close below the short-term average at 154.85 would extend the corrective phase toward the three-month low at 150.02, reached on January 27, followed by the lower boundary of the descending channel around 149.20.

The immediate resistance lies at the upper boundary of the descending channel around 156.00. A break above the channel would cause the emergence of the bullish bias and support the pair to explore the region around the six-month high of 161.00, followed by the all-time of 162.00, recorded in July 2024.

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

The post Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson has weighed in on whether the Federal Reserve should make a 25 basis points (bps) Fed rate cut or 50 bps cut. This comes ahead of the Fed decision today at today’s FOMC meeting, with the market pricing in a 25 bps cut. Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are currently trading flat ahead of the rate cut decision. Franklin Templeton CEO Weighs In On Potential FOMC Decision In a CNBC interview, Jenny Johnson said that she expects the Fed to make a 25 bps cut today instead of a 50 bps cut. She acknowledged the jobs data, which suggested that the labor market is weakening. However, she noted that this data is backward-looking, indicating that it doesn’t show the current state of the economy. She alluded to the wage growth, which she remarked is an indication of a robust labor market. She added that retail sales are up and that consumers are still spending, despite inflation being sticky at 3%, which makes a case for why the FOMC should opt against a 50-basis-point Fed rate cut. In line with this, the Franklin Templeton CEO said that she would go with a 25 bps rate cut if she were Jerome Powell. She remarked that the Fed still has the October and December FOMC meetings to make further cuts if the incoming data warrants it. Johnson also asserted that the data show a robust economy. However, she noted that there can’t be an argument for no Fed rate cut since Powell already signaled at Jackson Hole that they were likely to lower interest rates at this meeting due to concerns over a weakening labor market. Notably, her comment comes as experts argue for both sides on why the Fed should make a 25 bps cut or…
