USD/JPY stalls near 150, can EUR/JPY or GBP/JPY breakout?

USD/JPY has been a particularly tricky pair to trade with its small daily ranges beneath a big resistance level. But with key economic data from the US, a Powell speech and next week's BOJ meeting in the pipeline, it can't stay trapped there for ever. Besides, forex trading can be like a fine wine, as a currency needs to be paired wisely to heighten its trading potential. And that has placed EUR/JPY and GBP/JPY into focus for potential setups.

EUR/USD suffers its worst weekly run in 26 years ahead of FOMC

EUR/USD fell for 9th week by Friday's close, its worst weekly run since 1997. Yet whilst that could mean it is 'owed' a bounce, history suggests such bearish runs are later accompanied by further losses, as macro themes can trump technicals during such times. And that places this week's FOMC meeting into focus, where we discuss the likelihood that it might be more dovish than markets currently are pricing in.
