USD/JPY Analysis
Yesterday produced an interesting technical development: a break above, and a failed retest from above, relating to the bearish trend line shown in the chart below.
This suggests a continuing upwards movement is coming, but the market is not producing a lot of momentum, although the USD is going up and this pair is also going up.
The biggest picture does not give support before 117.00, but an upwards move does look more likely over the short term.
There is nothing due today regarding either the CHF or the USD.
