USD/JPY: Down 0.07% to 153.37 — RSI Signals Oversold

USD/JPY is trading at 153.37 (-0.07%) as of September 10, 2026, during the European session, with the rate edging lower from its previous close of 153.48. The current level represents a decline from the 20-day and 50-day simple moving averages of 158.10 and 159.99, respectively, reinforcing the prevailing downtrend. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 22.3, firmly in oversold territory, suggesting a potential for a technical rebound, although this does not necessarily indicate a reversal of the downtrend.

The Average True Range (ATR) over the last 14 days is 1.54, indicating the current daily volatility. The pair has traded between 153.27 and 153.74 so far today, with the pivot point at 153.43. Immediate resistance is seen at R1 at 153.87, while support lies at S1 at 153.04. The market may be underpricing the potential for a short-term bounce given the oversold RSI reading. However, the overall downtrend, as indicated by the rate's position below both the SMA-20 and SMA-50, remains intact.

A forward catalyst for USD/JPY could be the upcoming US inflation data, which may influence the dollar's direction and, consequently, the pair's movement. If the data shows higher-than-expected inflation, it could strengthen the USD and potentially reverse some of the recent losses against the JPY, invalidating the current oversold condition.
