If the resistance holds, the pair could move back to the bottom of the formation at the 116.00 major psychological support. The path of least resistance is to the upside, with the FOMC expressing their bias to tighten policy sometime this year. This has been positive for the US dollar since the Fed seems to be the only major central bank taking a hawkish bias. In contrast, the BOJ has decided to keep policy unchanged but is leaving the door open for further easing if necessary. Recent data from Japan has been weaker than expected, with spending and inflation figures falling short of forecasts. In addition, the impact of the sales tax hike is still weighing on spending and production, and it doesn’t help that falling wage inflation is making it difficult for consumers to cope with the higher cost of living. There are no catalysts for a breakout trade for the rest of the week, but the upcoming trading week has some top-tier reports lined up. This includes the release of the US non-farm payrolls report, which might indicate another strong gain in hiring. If so, USDJPY could surge past the triangle resistance around 118.00-118.50 and rally until the previous year highs around 121.00. ![USDJPY Long-Term Triangle (Jan 30, 2015)] On the other hand, bleak figures from the US could force the currency to return its recent gains, with the pair favoring the Japanese yen if risk aversion kicks in. *By Kate Curtis from Trader’s Way* ## Structured data JSON-LD as served in the HTML version of this page. ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@graph": [ { "@type": "Article", "@id": "https://www.tradersway.com/resources/market-info/usdjpy-long-term-triangle-jan-30-2015/#primary", "url": "https://www.tradersway.com/resources/market-info/usdjpy-long-term-triangle-jan-30-2015/", "mainEntityOfPage": "https://www.tradersway.com/resources/market-info/usdjpy-long-term-triangle-jan-30-2015/", "headline": "USDJPY Long-Term Triangle (Jan 30, 2015)", "inLanguage": "en", "datePublished": "2015-01-30T08:07:17+00:00", "dateModified": "2015-01-30T08:07:17+00:00", "articleSection": "Market Info", "description": "Explore USDJPY Long-Term Triangle (Jan 30, 2015).
