The 200 bar MA on the 4-hour chart stalls the fall

Today, the USDJPY fell to a low of 108.948. The 200 bar MA on the 4-hour chart at the time? 108.97.

Close enough.

Is it a low for the pair after a run lower this week that saw the price move from a high of 111.39 to a low of 108.948?

Maybe.

At the very least I should give traders more confidence to buy against the level on another dip.

In reality there are a number of support levels in play.

  • The first is at 109.15,A That was the swing low from May 11.
  • The second is the rising 200 bar MA on the 4-hour chart
  • The third is the 38.2% of the move up from the 2018 low at 108.796.

If the price goes below each, there should be more buyers. I would not want to see a move below the 108.796 level though.

So look for dip buyers to lean against the aforementioned lows going forward. The 200 bar MA should be a key level, but a move below the 38.2% should be indicative of more correction to come.
