USD/JPY Analysis

The action has shifted elsewhere now, away from the Japanese Yen, as this pair begins to consolidate above the crucial psychological level of 107.50. It looks as if there is new resistance becoming defined at around 108.50 and there is probably also going to be minor resistance at around 109.00, so these are two areas where it could make sense to look for short trades before the more major level of 110.00.

We may well get a healthy pullback, but there is no doubt that the long-term trend here is still very bearish.

USDJPY

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