Stocks are higher and USD turning down despite the hawkish Fed with an increase its policy rate by 25 basis points.
We see USD index turning down, so it might have been a buy the rumor sell the news impact about what we talked about in our past updates.
USDCHF stabilized at the lower side of a big triangle range back in February and is currently turning higher, breaking resistance levels, so it appears that wave C of B) is still in play possibly to 0.950 area which can be seen after sub wave four pullback when looking at 4h chart. Support is at a former high, and at 38.2%, near 0.93-0.9340.
USDJPY is coming higher as expected, now breaking out of a triangle, meaning that the pair can be in the final piece of a higher degree impulse from 2021 swing lows. We see this as a fifth wave meaning that upside can be limited in upcoming weeks, but based on Fib projections there is still room for 119.00/50 area after pullbacks. Ideally, next pullback will be wave 4) as we see wave 3) now as very strong and extended leg, so the market may slow down a bit in the near term.
