USD/JPY Analysis

The price has continued to move down in line with both the short term bias due to the breakdown of the formerly supportive level at 113.25 and the long term bias which is bearish due to the trend that can be seen on a long term chart. The next test will probably come at or very close to the 112.00 level which previously saw strong buying so can be expected to be supportive, at least to some extent.

USDJPY

There is nothing due today concerning the JPY. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of Crude Oil Inventories data at 3:30pm London time.
