USD/JPY Analysis

This pair has continued to range and contract, as I suggested would be likely to continue in yesterday’s forecast, forming double inside bars on the daily chart at yesterday’s close. This suggests that we have to break out soon. Within the last few hours we did break out to the upside, but the price has fallen back at the time of writing although it remains above the GMT daily pivot. All this is suggestive of a move up.

Despite that, there is flipped resistance overhead at 102.12 that has proved to be resilient, as well as a key Fibonacci retracement level a little above that, and this zone has been hard to break.

It is hard to say what will happen next. If the US news due later today is dramatically positive or negative for the USD, it is likely to cause a move up or down to get us at least near to 102.50 or 101.35.

USDJPY Signal 61714

There are no high-impact data releases due today concerning the JPY. At 1:30pm London time there will be a release of U.S. data: Building Permits and Core CPI, which might affect the USD.
