USD/JPY Analysis
This pair did little yesterday, but should be more active today with some USD news coming up for release during the New York session later.
The technical picture is completely unchanged and the pair remains within a long-term consolidation, although there have been some bullish signs over recent days.
The bearish trend line above remains valid but somewhat ambiguous so I am not looking for shorts up there.
The inner bullish trend line below is now becoming confluent with the whole number of 119.00 and is a logical place at which to seek a long reversal.
There are no high-impact events scheduled for the JPY today. Regarding the USD, the ADP Non-Farm Employment Change will be released at 1:15pm London time, followed later by ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI data at 3pm.
