USD/JPY analysis for 27/09/2018:

The Federal Open Market Committee decided to raise interest rates and intends to tighten policy in the coming quarters, but this position was expected. In the projection for 2018-2020, nothing has changed and in the Fed's opinion, there are 5 more hikes ahead of us. Some dovish impulse gave the removal from the message of the "accommodative" fragment of politics, which at first glance suggests that the Fed is approaching a neutral attitude. However, at the conference, President Powell explained that the change in language reflects the expected path of normalization, and the removal of the phrase now "was not made because politics are not accommodative. It is still accommodative". Despite this, apart from the expected increase, the decision has no hawkish surprises and it is difficult to develop the USD rally.

Let's now take a look at the USD/JPY technical picture at the H4 time frame. The market made a new high just a few pips away from the technical resistance at the level of 113.17 and fell out of the channel. If the bearish pressure will increase, then the price might fall towards the level of 112.50 - 112.40, which will act as a technical support zone. Please notice, that in a case of a further sell-off, the next technical support zone is seen at the levels of 112.13 - 112.04. The market conditions are now overbought, which supports the short-term pull-back development.
