USD/JPY Analysis

This pair just keeps going and going, just when it is tempting to think it cannot go any further. The key psychological number of 120.00 was broken quite easily and we are even well beyond that, past 121.00.

A lot at the weekly chart will show that every single week since about 1,500 pips below has made a higher low. This is an incredibly strong move that has shown no serious sign of slowing down, although the week before last was an inside week, which was a small hint that the trend might have been starting to run out of steam.

In these conditions one may profitably go long at any kind of reversal after a pull-back on the H4 chart. To be more cautious, wait for a return to likely demand zones at around 120.00 or even 119.00 if there is a more serious fall in the price.

USDJPY 12814

There are no high-impact data releases scheduled today that will directly affect either the USD or the JPY. Therefore it is quite likely to be a relatively quiet day for this pair.
