The Japanese yen got a little stronger after the meetings of the three major central banks, but it only strengthened the neutral position and uncertainty, since it is technically staying between the two lines of the price channel at 127.30 and 129.97.

The signal line of the Marlin oscillator is in the negative zone, but it has not yet reached the bottom of its own ascending channel (turquoise). Considering the fact that the dollar has been rising against European currencies and the stock market is also rising, I believe that the price will climb above the resistance of 129.97. Then the price may overcome the resistance of the MACD line (131.72), and logically, the breakthrough will end by reaching the resistance of 133.74.

The alternative scenario assumes overcoming the support at 127.30 and falling further to the underlying price channel line at 124.10.

On the four-hour chart, the price is consolidating under the balance and MACD indicator lines, the Marlin oscillator is rising in the territory of the downtrend with the possible intention to move to the green zone. Let's wait for the resolution of the uncertainty when the US employment data comes out this evening.
