USD/JPY Analysis
As has been the case for some time now, the consolidation continues and even tightens. For this reason, I see it as safe to fade the nearest double top and bottom, at 119.04 and 121.22 respectively now.
There are no high-impact releases due today concerning the JPY or the USD. It is a public holiday today in the USA.
