US Dollar Outlook: USD/JPY
USD/JPY falls toward the 2024 low (139.58) as it slides to a fresh yearly low (140.47), with the weakness in the exchange rate pushing the Relative Strength Index (RSI) into oversold zone.
USD/JPY Falls Towards 2024 Low to Push RSI into Oversold Zone
USD/JPY fails to defend the rebound from last week as US President Donald Trump warns of ‘non-tariff cheating,’ and the move below 30 in the RSI is likely to be accompanied by a further decline in USD/JPY like the price action from last year.

The ongoing shift in US trade policy may continue to drag on the Greenback as it raises the threat of a recession, and the US Dollar may face additional headwinds ahead of the Federal Reserve rate decision on May 7 as the central bank comes under pressure to further unwind its restrictive policy.
In turn, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) may retain a dovish forward guidance amid signs of a slowing economy, but it seems as though the central bank is in no rush to implement lower interest rates as Chairman Jerome Powell insists that ‘we are well positioned to wait for greater clarity before considering any adjustments to our policy stance.’
With that said, the US Dollar remains susceptible to future announcements coming out of the White House as President Trump argues that ‘preemptive cuts in interest rates are being called for by many,’ but the RSI may show the bearish momentum abating should it recover from oversold territory.
USD/JPY Price Chart – Daily
Chart Prepared by David Song, Senior Strategist; USD/JPY on TradingView
- USD/JPY seems to be tracking the negative slope in the 50-Day SMA (148.42) as it continues to register fresh yearly lows, and failure to hold above the 2024 low (139.58) may push the exchange rate towards the July 2023 low (137.24).
- Next area of interest comes in around 134.70 (78.6% Fibonacci extension) to 136.00 (23.6% Fibonacci extension), but lack of momentum to close below the 140.50 (61.8% Fibonacci retracement) to 141.50 (38.2% Fibonacci extension) zone may curb the recent decline in USD/JPY.
- Need a move/close above the 144.60 (50% Fibonacci retracement) to 145.90 (50% Fibonacci extension) region to bring the 148.70 (38.2% Fibonacci retracement) to 150.30 (61.8% Fibonacci extension) zone on the radar, with the next area of interest coming in around the monthly high (150.49).

Silver outlook: a return to the 2011 high tests $49 to $50 support
Silver is testing key support at $49 to $50, the area of its 2011 high, and has yet to bounce. A bullish reversal candlestick would make the picture more constructive, but for now the near-term forecast hangs in the balance.
Gold forecast: XAU/USD stabilised after recent falls – for now
Gold has started the first week of the new month trying to recover some ground after another bruising week. Oil prices have taken a sharp drop and that has allowed risk assets to bounce back, which has clearly helped the precious metal too. However, with sentiment remaining bearish towards the metals, and with $4000 level having been taken out last week, the path of least resistance is to the downside for gold.
GBP/USD outlook: Currency Pair of the Week | November 2, 2026
The GBP/USD heads into a crowded week of event risk, with the midterm elections, a Bank of England rate decision and Friday's non-farm payrolls report all capable of moving markets sharply. The greenback remains fundamentally well supported by a hawkish Federal Reserve, but much of that is already priced in, while the renewed sell-off in technology stocks has exposed its vulnerability.
