There are just a couple to take note of on the day, as highlighted in bold below.The first one is for USD/JPY closer to the 150.00 mark. The pair held a daily break under that on Friday and is now having to balance out the political developments in Japan to start the week. The LDP and Nippon Ishin look set to partner up and that paves the way for Takaichi to become the next prime minister. The end of political uncertainty is good news for the yen but Takaichi’s stance as a fiscal dove, not so much.The expiries above may help to limit any downside in the session ahead with upside also capped a little closer to 151.00 for now, with the 100-hour moving average sitting thereabouts. There’s a modest set of expiries there too in case.Then, there is one for USD/CAD at the 1.4000 level. It’s not one that ties to any technical significance but amid the drift lower since the end of last week, it could limit price extensions to the downside for the pair before rolling off later today.For more information on how to use this data, you may refer to this post here.Head on over to investingLive (formerly ForexLive) to get in on the know!
