USD/JPY Forex Signal July 09 2015 - 9 July 2015

USD/JPY Signal Update

Yesterday’s signals gave a profitable long trade from the eventual bounce up from the supportive level at 120.49. It is probably worth exiting from the trade now as there is preliminary evidence that 121.50 has flipped from support to resistance.

USD/JPY Analysis

The pair fell sharply yesterday, reaching a low during the Asian session not too far from the psychologically important 120 level. However the expected support at 120.49 did kick in and hold the price, pushing it up to the previous support now flipped to resistance at 121.49, from where it has been falling.

If the price can break above 121.50, it would be a sign of a serious bullish recovery. Alternatively, a fall to 120.50 could provide another long opportunity.
