Dollar’s strong rebound from last Thursday’s low at 105.31 to 106.05 Friday suggests pullback from last week’s high at 106.47 (Monday) has ended there and intra-day retreat would yield consolidation before prospect of another rise later. Above 106.05 would head to 106.19/20.

USD/JPY - 106.52… The greenback remained under pressure on Friday and dropped to session lows at 106.44 in New York morning on usd’s broad-based weakness due to stalemate in talks between the Democrats and Republicans on the coronavirus pandemic aid stimulus. The pair then staged a short-covering rebound to 106.65 in New Zealand today, however, price met renewed selling interest and retreated to 106.47 in Asian morning.
Dollar’s fall to 106.44 on Friday suggests the 1st leg of correction from July’s 4-1/2 month trough at 104.19 has ended at last Thursday’s near 3-week peak at 107.04 and mild downside bias would be seen, however, bids at 106.20/30 would contain current fall and yield another rebound.

Price then found renewed buying at 105.98 in Australia today and gained to 106.21 before stabilising.
Dollar’s intra-day break above overnight resistance at 106.14 suggests decline from August’s near 3-week peak at 107.04 has made a temporary low at 105.11 yesterday and consolidation with upside bias remains for stronger retracement to 106.65.
