USD/JPY Analysis
This pair has shown a great deal of bearish momentum over recent days, and this has been expressed in the breakdown of several support levels, some of which have flipped to become resistance. The price has starting to rise again robustly in recent hours, so it seems that the presumed resistant area starting at 112.91 will be tested soon, giving a possible short trade entry.
Despite the recent bearishness, there is no long-term trend.
There is nothing due today regarding either the JPY or the USD.
