USD/JPY Analysis

This pair really took off the day after my last signals, on Friday, when Bloomberg reported that the Bank of Japan was planning to introduce more negative interest rates. The price printed more flipped resistance to support at 109.27. There were also two more levels above that which now look to be probable support if the price retraces to either of them.

It will be interesting to see what happens next. The possible developments are wide, because there will be very key central bank inputs for both currencies within this pair.

USDJPY

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