Fundamental Analysis

* Fading Yen: The Japanese Yen weakened against the dollar as positive U.S. manufacturing and job openings data highlighted the resilience of the U.S. economy, boosting the Greenback. U.S. manufacturing activity continued to contract, though at a slower rate in November, with the ISM Manufacturing PMI improving to 48.4 from October’s 46.5, surpassing the expected 47.5. Additionally, the U.S. JOLTS Job Openings report also outperformed forecasts, recording 7.744 million jobs compared to the anticipated 7.510 million.

Technical Analysis

* Technical Breakout: USDJPY was traded higher following prior rebound from its lows. MACD which illustrate bullish bias signal with the formation of golden cross suggest the pair to likely extend its gains.

* Resistance and Support: If the bullish momentum persists, there’s a strong likelihood that the price will potentially head towards the level 151.750. Conversely, a potential reversal is also to be expected and the price could head back towards 146.950.

Potential Risks

Looking ahead, investors will focus on this week’s key U.S. economic data releases such as ADP Nonfarm Employment Change, Nonfarm Payrolls, and the Unemployment Rate, to gauge the market’s direction and sentiment.
