USDJPY: Stay Flat, Looking For Buying Opportunities

By Ilya Spivak, Currency Strategist

USDJPY positioning has been little changed in recent weeks despite a drop to 15-year lows, with the pair consolidating above the bottom of a falling channel established from April. The boundary doubles as the lower portion of a Falling Wedge bullish reversal pattern. Positive RSI divergence reinforces the case for an upward scenario. Our fundamental outlook continues to call for a bullish bias and we will look for a daily close above the wedge top (now at 84.44) to position for buying opportunities, planning to initially target the channel top (now at 87.12).
