What to Watch: USD/JPY

Will we see USD/JPY commerce to multi-month highs right now? In just a few hours, Uncle Sam’s will print its January CPI figures.
Markets see month-to-month client value will increase steadying from final month although annualized CPI might outpace even final month’s 7.0% development.
Quicker-than-expected value will increase, printed lower than every week after the robust NFP report, might spur the Fed to hurry up its tapering/tightening schedule.
USD might acquire pips towards its fellow safe-haven and soar as much as the 117.00 zone close to the highest of the 4-hour chart’s ascending channel.
I’m not ruling out a buy-the-rumor, sell-the-news state of affairs, nonetheless. In spite of everything, that is what occurred in the course of the launch of December’s inflation report when minimal upside surprises resulted in profit-taking that weighed on the greenback.
If merchants determine that January’s value will increase gained’t change the present tempo of the Fed’s coverage modifications, or if a risk-friendly buying and selling atmosphere encourages dollar-selling throughout the board, then USD/JPY bears might observe the bearish divergence on the chart and drag the greenback nearer to the mid-channel assist and 100 and 200 SMAs.
