Talking Points:
- USD/JPY Technical Strategy: Flat
- Support: 123.18, 122.36, 121.54
- Resistance: 124.09, 125.11, 125.93
The US Dollar is attempting to mount a recovery against the Japanese Yen, with prices working to breach the 124.00 figure. A daily close above the 23.6% Fibonacci expansion at 124.09 exposes the 38.2% level at 125.11. Alternatively, a turn below the 38.2% Fibretracement at 123.18 opens the door for a test of the 50% threshold at 122.36.
Prices are too close to resistance to justify entering long from a risk/reward perspective. On the other hand, the absence of a defined bearish reversal signal suggests that taking up the short side is premature. With that in mind, we will remain flat for now.
