USD/JPY Analysis
The Yen has not been the strongest of all currencies over the past day or so, but it has been strong enough against a weak U.S. Dollar to make this pair fall to new 18 month lows. The price fell quite sharply but seems to have found some quite strong support at 105.50 a little ahead of the anticipated support level at 105.44.
There may be minor resistance at around 106.25 but it is the 106.68 level that will be the most attractive at which to look for a short trade entry.
The pair should become quiet after New York closes due to the Japanese market being closed.
There are no high-impact events due today concerning the USD.
There is nothing due today concerning the JPY as it is a public holiday in Japan.
