USD/JPY Analysis
Again, this pair remains flat and range-bound. The only development today is that the level at 116.82 should be ready to come into play again as potentially good support as the price has not been there for a while.
The action is very choppy, but is a little more suggestive of a coming move down rather than up. Therefore a short off the nearest bearish trend line is likely to be the best trade opportunity coming in the near future.
There are no high-impact data releases scheduled for later today concerning the JPY. Regarding the USD, at 1:15pm London time there will be a release of the ADP Non-Farm Employment Change data, followed later at 3pm by the ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI data release. This pair is likely to be more active during the New York session than the earlier London session.
