USD/JPY
Strategy: Flat
After a shallow rebound from support at the bottom of a falling channel that has guided prices since April, USDJPY has put in a large Bearish Engulfing candlestick pattern, hinting that bearish momentum was ready to resume. The bears face a formidable hurdle, however, with major support lining up in the 87.09-88.23 area. We will observe from the sidelines for now as prices resolve this pivotal juncture. A break lower would open the door for rapid bearish acceleration below the 80.00 mark.
