USD/JPY Analysis
The USD bullishness continued at the start of last week, but then tailed off and the price of this pair has since been going sideways. There may be more left in this very strong upwards trend, but if the previous high does not get taken out above 121.00, we will enter a period of consolidation which might still be quite volatile due to the size of the previous swings.
There are no high-impact data releases scheduled today concerning the JPY or the USD. It is likely to be a quiet day for this pair.
