USD/JPY Analysis
I wrote yesterday that although we had a ranging, trendless environment in this currency pair, between about 107.50 and 108.75, I was more inclined to be bullish on this pair, so I saw bounces at support levels as likely to be the best option.
This was a good call as the price has risen further over the past day in line with my expectation, breaking above 108.75 which I thought would be a bullish sign. However, the resistance at 109.07 could also be strong so a short trade following a bearish strong failure there could also be a good trade set-up.
I take a weakly bullish bias above 108.63 and a bullish bounce there could also be a good trade, on the long side.There is nothing of high importance due today regarding the JPY. Concerning the USD, the Chair of the Federal Reserve will be making a minor speech at 1:45pm London time.
