Dollar Rises Ahead of Fed and BOJ Meetings, Yen Near 7-Month High

The news indicates that the dollar strengthened and the yen approached a 7-month high ahead of the Fed and BOJ meetings. This development is not a direct catalyst for US stocks like GOOGL; it may rather affect macro risk appetite. Technical indicators are mixed: RSI at 56 is neutral, MACD is positive above the signal line, but the price is slightly above the SMA20 and close to the SMA50. The 0.1% change in the last 24 hours also points to a sideways trend. Therefore, the short-term direction is uncertain, and the impact of the news may be limited.

USDJPY closed at 154.23, up 0.46% over 24 hours, and is trading above its 20-day and 50-day simple moving averages. The RSI at 61.4 has not yet approached overbought territory, and the MACD has crossed above its signal line, indicating positive short-term momentum. News headlines note that the Dollar strengthened ahead of Fed and BOJ meetings, with the Yen near a 7-month high; this suggests upward pressure on USDJPY may continue. However, uncertainty ahead of the meetings and the Yen's proximity to its peak pose a risk that gains could be limited. Therefore, I expect a moderate upward bias in the 1-3 day outlook, but volatility may increase depending on central bank announcements.

DXY closed at 99.42, up 0.38% in 24 hours, with RSI14 at 73.5, in overbought territory. MACD is above the signal line and price is above SMA20 and SMA50, indicating positive short-term momentum. The news headline suggests the dollar strengthened ahead of Fed and BOJ meetings, which could have an upward effect on the index. However, with RSI in overbought territory and upcoming central bank meetings, the upside may be limited. I expect a mildly upward trend in the 1-3 day view, but volatility may increase.

The headline indicates that the dollar is strengthening and the yen is near a 7-month high ahead of the Fed and BOJ meetings. However, this could mean the JPY is appreciating; if the yen is near a peak, USD/JPY might be falling. Technical indicators are mixed: the last close was 38.84, up 2.02% in 24 hours, but RSI at 46.4 is neutral and MACD is below its signal line (0.09 < 0.17). The price is below the 20-day SMA (39.12) but just above the 50-day SMA (38.78), suggesting short-term uncertainty. Direction may not become clear before the meetings due to positioning and news flow; therefore, I maintain a neutral stance.
