USD/JPY Analysis

The bullish USD continues to drive the price up here. Now there should be a pause until we get the US CPI data later. If the data is weak, we could top out here and see the price fall down to the 122.00 area where it should find support.

There is medium-term resistance above 123.77 which could prove problematic even if there is another long drive in the USD.

USDJPY

There is nothing due today regarding the JPY. Concerning the USD, there will be a release of CPI data at 1:30pm London time.
