Pointing to the next direction, the chart suggests a double top
US dollar/yen is unstable in the high range in the week of August 28
The US Jackson Hole conference passed without incident, and the US dollar/yen pair hit a new year high of 147.366 yen as the US interest rate trend continued to rise and the yen weakened. Since the US economic indicators announced after that were all disappointing results below the market expectations, the price was pushed back to 145.239 yen after the end of the upward cycle. (Each rate level is at the time of writing)

US event won’t be decisive
Regarding the course of tightening in the US, although the market has largely priced in a skip in September, November and December are in flux, and the situation will depend on future economic indicators. The US dollar/yen pair has also returned to its recent highs following the “differences in direction of monetary policy between Japan and the United States,” but it cannot be denied that there is a lack of material to test another upward trend. Will the ISM non-manufacturing index, which will be released on September 6th, serve as a cue for the US dollar/yen to rise as the current concerns recede, or will it weigh on the US dollar/yen due to concerns about the future of the US economy? It will be watched closely.
In addition, given the lack of economic data released, among the FOMC participants with voting rights this year, Philadelphia Fed President Harker and New York Fed President Williams, who are considered to be dovish, have expressed their views on the outlook for monetary policy. It seems that attention will be focused on whether it shows recognition. However, it is unlikely that this will be a decisive blow to explore the next direction, and the US dollar/yen pair’s direction may be difficult to determine due to factors such as China’s policy trends and the Japanese government’s stance to restrain the yen’s depreciation.
USD/JPY Triangle Consolidation to Double Top
Looking at the shape of the chart, we are starting to see a double top due to a break in the support line from a bullish triangle. Attention will be paid to whether it will stop at the 21-day moving average near 145.00 yen. If the price breaks below this level, the price will drop to around 143.000 yen. The upward horizontal line is likely to close at around 146.750 yen, and if this level is crossed, it would be a good idea to buy as a range break. However, since it is still wary of deception, full-fledged buying may start when the price exceeds the latest high of 147.366 yen.

short comment
The Basketball World Cup is in full swing. I don’t know much about basketball, but excitement is important. By the way, when it comes to basketball manga, there are probably many people who have a strong image of “S*muda*k.” I am also one of them. When I was a student, I used to read magazines with my acquaintances every week. That’s nostalgic.
