USD/JPY Analysis
There has been little change in this pair as it continues to range within a very familiar zone. The previous resistance level at around 120.00 no longer looks reliable. A better bet in a similar area for resistant action will probably be the new bearish trend line currently sitting at around 120.35.
There is probably minor support at around 119.60.
There are no high-impact events scheduled today concerning either the JPY or the USD
