USD/JPY Analysis
I forecast yesterday that the price would stabilize but the USD caught me by surprise, and now the market is expecting a USD rate hike in December. The pair has continued to behave in a classically bullish manner, flipping the 121.40 area from a previously resistant double top formation to support.
There is nothing due today regarding the JPY. Concerning the USD, there will be a release of Unemployment Claims data at 1:30pm London time.
