USD/JPY Analysis
I wrote on Thursday that the consolidation was starting to look bullish and the price quickly broke up, and has been rising strongly ever since last Thursday’s New York session. At the time of writing, the price is finding resistance at the level of 115.97, so I would look beyond that level to a place a little further above for a possible short trade, at 116.28. However, it is probably going to be too early to short here any time soon, unless the price stalls under 116.28 over several hours. The picture is still bullish over both the short and long terms.
There is nothing due today regarding either the USD or the JPY.
