USD/JPY Analysis

Despite the relative slowdown that was seen last week in the rise of the USD, this pair continued to steam upwards due to continuing strong weakness in the JPY. We ended up making another multi-year high last Friday and in the Asian session last night another high of 117.00 was reached, since when the price fell quite heavily, before recovering again in the lead-up to the London open and also since London opened.

There is obvious resistance overhead at 117.90 but conditions are not right to think about shorting safely.

There is no obvious support before 115.00 and we probably will not reach that level today, but it could give a good long opportunity if and when it is reached.

USDJPY 111714

There are no high-impact news releases scheduled today that are likely to affect either the JPY or the USD.
