USD/JPY Analysis

I wrote yesterday that we may be headed to 120.00 as the next short-term move and this is what happened. That big round number has been fairly resistant so far. Therefore the price of this pair sits right in the middle of its long-term range that has held for about two months now. This pair is going nowhere. The level of 120.00 may hold as resistance today, giving a few scalping opportunities perhaps.

USDJPY

There are no high-impact releases due today concerning the JPY or the USD.
