USD/JPY Analysis

There is not very much to say about this pair. The chart below shows that the price has been ranging within a band of only about 130 pips during the last four weeks or so. Although the overall bias is slightly bullish, there is a lot of overhead resistance and it seems it is probably going to take some more time before that might give way. In the meantime, it is quite possible to trend the range, and to try to hold on to longs in case the range finally breaks to the upside.

USDJPY

There is nothing due today regarding either the JPY or the USD.
