USD/JPY Analysis
In spite of all the turmoil in the Forex market over the past few days, this pair has been relatively unchanged, with both the USD and the JPY showing some strength and effectively balancing each other out.
The chart does suggest we have a slight upwards trend, and we still have fairly clear waves which makes this pair a good candidate for range trading, if that is what you like.
I see the same key levels from last week as being of interest for potential reversals. The double top at 118.80 could also be a significant level if and when it is next tested.
There are no high-impact data releases scheduled today directly concerning the USD or the JPY, therefore it is quite likely to be a relatively quiet day for this pair.
