The USD/JPY pair fell to 108.79 – the lowest level since Jan. 17 – soon before press time and risks falling further, courtesy of the Fed’s dovish turn.

As seen above, the pair created a bearish outside-day reversal candle yesterday, signaling an end of the corrective bounce from the lows below 105.00 seen on Jan. 3. 

A close below 108.81 (yesterday’s low) would validate the bearish outside-day and open the doors for a sustained drop to 107.50. 

Other factors are also aligned in favor of the bears. For instance, the 5- and 10-day MAs have produced a bearish crossover and the 14-day RSI is reporting bearish conditions with below-50 reading.
