USD/JPY - 89.54 … U.S. dollar went through a ‘roller-coaster’ week last week as despite rising to a high of 89.67 Mon, the yen-supportive comments fm Japanese EconMin Amari triggered massive profit-taking. Price tumbled to 87.79 Wed b4 rallying to 90.21 Fri, then a fresh 30-month top at 90.25 in Aust. today.

Looking at the daily chart, recent strg acsent is likely to extend gain to 90.92 (1.618 times extension of 77.13-82.84 fm 81.68), however, the high readings on daily oscillators together with bearish divergences on hourly oscillators suggests strg gain abv there is unlikely to be repeated n a ‘much- needed’ minor correction shud take place later this week, below 88.80 wud signal a temp. top is in place n retrace. to last Wed’s low of 87.79 is likely but renewed buying shud emerge abv 86.83 sup. Looking ahead, as MT rise fm 2011 Oct’s record 75.32 low is seen as a retrace. of LT intermediate fall fm 110.67, gain to 93.00 (50% r) is likely in Q1.

Today, as long as 89.67 (last Mon’s high) holds, buying dlr on dips is still favoured. Below 89.20 wud signal temp. top possibly made, risk 88.80.
