The USDJPY is still consolidated between the 111.00 level as resistance and the 109.82 as support. The pair may take off in any direction.
USD/JPY did reach 109.84 as I thought it would. If it continues falling I think next target will be around 109.00.
Despite the brief correction yesterday USD/JPY is moving to the downside again. I still have a short position open and I don’t intend to close it for now.
The dollar / yen tried to lower yesterday, making the bottom at 109.55, but closing higher at 110.05. The first resistance is seen at 110.35 (yesterday’s peak). A clear break above this level could lead to future upward pressure testing for 110.80 - 111.00 or higher. On the downside, a clear breakthrough and daily closure under the trendline support line and 109.50 / 00 will trigger the bearish pattern.
The dollar recorded a second consecutive loss against the yen on Wednesday. The US currency continued its losing session and as a result the first support at 109.62 was broken. However, short-term expectations are in favor of the dollar. Wednesday’s trading was open at a rate of 110.30. The trend was volatile, but ultimately the bears prevailed and the pair hit the bottom at 109.55. The final line was cut at 110.05.
USD/JPY
Key levels to watch for:
Support: 109.62; 108.80;
Resistance: 111.78; 112.18;
USD/JPY dropped to 108.90 and although it has formed a double bottom at that level on the H1 time frame which could lead to a temporary correction I think the overall bearish trend is far from over.
The US dollar was up against the Japanese yen on Friday. By the close of US trading, USD / JPY was trading at 109.19, gaining 0.001%. I believe that support is now at around 108.74, the low of Friday’s trading, and resistance is likely at 110.92, Monday’s high.
Usd/Jpy is consolidating on the downside, found support around 108.80/70 zone, further decline might be expect if break below the support level.
USD/JPY is forming a correction to the upside for the moment. I think it may reach 110.00 again, especially if there is a breakout above 109.80.
I think that if USD/JPY breaks out above 110.40 the next target to the upside will be 111.00. And, if the pair breaks out above that level too we could consider a possible trend reversal to the upside.
The US dollar recorded a rise against the Japanese yen on Monday. The currency pair opened at 109.15 and ended 45 pips higher. Graphics continued to grow below moving averages, while the relative strength index remained neutral. In case the upward movement continues we can expect a test of the second resistance at 111.00.
USD/JPY has almost reached the resistance at 111.00. Let’s see what effect the FOMC meeting minutes announcement today will have on the pair.
The US dollar recorded a significant rise against the Japanese yen on Tuesday. The session started at 109.60 and the dollar added 107 pips. If the direction continues upward, we can expect an attempt to test the first resistance at 111.00. Otherwise, in the downward direction, the pair will head to the first support at 109.50.
At the support on the H4 time frame at 109.65 there is a bullish bar, which is a signal for a rally, which has already begun and I think it will reach at least 110.50.
USD/JPY only reached 110.38 before it renewed its move to the downside and it is now at 109.00, testing that support. I think that next target will be around 108.10 - 108.00.
The US dollar recorded a decline against the Japanese yen on Thursday. Session started at 110.18 and after a volatile session the currency pair lost 63 pips. Short-term outlook remains neutral. Breaking the psychological limit at 109.50 is likely to direct the pair to 108.40.
The US dollar was down against the Japanese yen on Friday. By the close of US trading, USD / JPY was trading at 109.19, losing 0.36%. I believe that support is now at around $ 108.60, the low of Friday’s trading, and the resistance is likely at 110.95 - the maximum of Wednesday.
USD/JPY rebounded from 108.90, but I think that the scenario for a drop to 108.10 - 108.00 is still valid. I have a short position that I have not closed yet.
