The best method to identify a classic “price action reversal” is for an hourly candle to close, such as a pin bar, a doji, an outside or even just an engulfing candle with a higher close. You can exploit these levels or zones by watching the price action that occurs at the given levels.

 

USD/JPY Analysis

There is no change to the technical picture: the price continues to move upwards within a wide and expanding bullish channel, and the move is getting stronger with the Yen acting as one of the weakest currencies right now. The resistance beginning at 112.93 is likely to be solid. There is new support at 111.83.

I maintain a bullish bias as we have a strengthening, rising pattern within a bullish channel.

USDJPY

There is nothing due today concerning the JPY. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of Final GDP and Unemployment Claims data at 1:30pm London time.
