USD/JPY Analysis
I forecast yesterday that the multi-year high at 121.84 looked likely to hold so it should be a good area at which to seek a short trade. So far that level is being tested rep4eatedly, but it is holding. However I am not confident that a short from this level will go very far at all so it would be wise to get the risk off any short from here as soon as possible.
The pair overall looks strongly bullish and if it breaks out above 121.84 convincingly it will be in blue sky and might rise sharply.
A bearish pull back to the nearest flipped trend line should produce mobile support and a good opportunity to enter long. A more aggressive entry would be at around 121.00.
There are no high-impact events scheduled today for either the JPY or the USD today. Therefore it will probably be a relatively quiet day for this pair.
