Risk-On Conditions See RUB/JPY Test 50dma, 1.50 Resistance

RUSSIA
  • With Risk conditions improving today post-FOMC, RUB/JPY is seen exerting upside pressure on the 50dma & lateral resistance at 1.50
  • The cross recently found support above 1.45 and failed to hold below the 100dma, opening up a move back towards prior highs – provided price action can move above the two aforementioned points of resistance.
  • Oscillator momentum has become positive and managed to hold above the 50 line in the RSI
  • The CBR's accelerated hiking cycle is also a factor helping to drive the divergence between the two pairs – supporting higher demand for RUB assets
  • Failure to close above 1.50 & the 50dma and a return to risk-off may see the cross drift back towards July's lows and 1.45 below
