USD/JPY Analysis

I forecast yesterday that a move downwards was more likely over the short-term than a move up and this is what has taken place over the last 24 hours. We are now approaching the anticipated support which is likely to begin just above 119.00. I think we will be there at some point early in the New York session, which will be an excellent time to watch out for a bullish reversal. As this pair seems to be stuck in a range, it could be a great place to get long for 200 pips or so of potential profit.

If we break below 119.00, there could be support coming in just about anywhere down to 118.00. The levels of 118.75 and 118.50 might be especially significant.

USDJPY

There are no high-impact releases due today concerning the JPY. Regarding the USD, there will be releases of Retail Sales and PPI data at 1:30pm London time.
