USD/JPY Forex Signal - 21 April 2016

By Adam Lemon

Adam believes that it is very possible for retail traders/investors to secure a positive return over time provided they limit their risks, follow trends, and persevere through short-term losing streaks – provided only reputable brokerages are used. He has previously worked within financial markets over a 12-year period, including 6 years with Merrill Lynch.

USD/JPY Analysis

I have been mentioning over the past couple of days that the pair starts to look a little more bullish and this is reinforced by the fact that we now seem to have a new support level at around 109.50, and the price has risen strongly after reaching close to there a couple of hours ago from the time of writing. All will now depend upon whether the level at 110.00 is hit and if so, whether it holds or not.

USDJPY

There is nothing due today regarding the JPY. Concerning the USD, there will be a release of Unemployment Claims and Philly Fed Manufacturing Index data at 1:30pm London time.
