USD/JPY Analysis
I wrote yesterday that if the New York open held above 124.25, this would be a bullish sign that we are probably going to continue onto 125.00 in the near future. It did not really hold 124.25 cleanly, but the mild though persistent bullishness has continued.
The support levels I have already noted are still relevant, there is also likely minor support just below 124.00.
There is nothing due today regarding the JPY or the USD.
