USD/JPY Analysis
The price fell quite close to the anticipated support level of 117.00 yesterday, from where it rose sharply at the time of the London close, but the move has petered out.
The price must be said to be within a consolidation, but it is still not really making significant new lows so the long-term extreme bullishness should be respected.
It is a holiday in Japan tomorrow, so after New York closes today, that should be it for this pair until next week.
There is nothing due today regarding the JPY, it is a public holiday in Japan. Concerning the USD, there will be releases of Core Durable Goods Orders, Final GDP and Unemployment Claims data at 1:30pm London time.
