The USD/JPY has violated the horizontal support level of 108.300, which can ve seen on the 4-hour chart. Closing of candles below this level may extend selling bias until 107.450 as the demand for safe-haven assets remains solid.
The Japanese yen is a safe-haven asset, whereas the market treat also greenback as a safe-haven currency during the time of crises. So, as in result, the dollar index rose sharply from 94.65 to 103.00 in the ten days to March 19. The crash in the equity markets triggered in the wake of margin calls and liquidity crises, forcing investors to seek safety in the U.S. dollar.
Consequently, the market sentiment remains weak, with the S&P 500 futures currently reporting over a 1% decline on the day. If the risk sentiment gets worsens, the U.S. dollar will be able to find haven bids again, allowing a bounce in USD/JPY.
