USD/JPY Analysis
The price opened this week with a small to moderate gap down, but this was quickly filled as the JPY fell somewhat following disappointing Japanese economic data. The price is now threatening minor resistance at the round number of 123.00.
There is nothing due today concerning either the JPY or the USD.
