Talking Points:
- USD/JPY Technical Strategy: Flat
- Support: 118.88, 118.45, 117.91
- Resistance: 119.32, 119.86, 120.73
The US Dollar fell against the Japanese Yen as expected after prices put in a bearish Dark Cloud Cover candlestick pattern. Near-term support is at 118.88, the 50% Fibonacci expansion, with a break below that on a daily closing basis exposing the 61.8% level at 118.45. Alternatively, push above the 38.2% Fib at 119.32 clears the way for a test of the 23.6% expansion at 119.86.
The available trading range is too narrow to justify entering a trade on the long or short side from a risk/reward perspective. With that in mind, we will remain flat for now, waiting for price action to offer a more compelling opportunity down the road.
