AUD/USD week ahead: US CPI and ECB decision, 2026-06-08
AUD/USD faces US inflation data Wednesday and ECB rate decision Thursday after dropping 1379 pips last week.
2 min de lecturaUSD/JPY opened Monday at 159.369 and closed Friday at 160.237, gaining 0.868 points or 0.54% across the five sessions. The pair pushed through 160.000 on Friday without a clear catalyst, suggesting technical buying above the psychological level.
The week ahead for USD/JPY looks unusually quiet with no high-impact events scheduled in the economic calendar. This data vacuum puts the focus squarely on technical levels and any unexpected headlines from either the Federal Reserve or Bank of Japan.
Without scheduled releases to drive volatility, USD/JPY price action will likely respond to broader dollar flows and any comments from central bank officials. The absence of data also means any surprise news could have an outsized impact on the pair.
With no economic releases to anchor scenarios, price action becomes purely technical. If USD/JPY holds above 160.000 early in the week, the next obvious resistance sits near last week's high at 160.339. A break above that level would put 160.500 and then 161.000 in focus as round-number targets.
If the pair rejects from current levels and breaks back below 160.000, initial support comes in at Friday's low of 159.733. Below that, the week's low at 159.360 marks the next downside level. Any unexpected Fed or BoJ commentary could accelerate moves in either direction.
LHFX client sentiment shows 47.9% of traders are long USD/JPY while 52.1% are short as of Sunday morning. This slight short skew suggests traders are cautious about chasing the break above 160.000 without fundamental drivers. The balanced positioning leaves room for a squeeze in either direction if price momentum picks up.
Three key levels stand out as the week begins. The 160.000 psychological level now acts as immediate support after Friday's close above it. Last week's high at 160.339 marks the first upside target for any continued buying. On the downside, 159.360 represents last week's low and would signal a failed breakout if retested. These are reference levels for gauging momentum, not entry signals. Open an LHFX account to trade USD/JPY during this technically-driven week.
