USD/JPY Technical Analysis: Treading Water Below 119.00

USD/JPY Technical Analysis: Treading Water Below 119.00

Talking Points:

  • USD/JPY Technical Strategy: Flat
  • Support: 117.64, 115.48, 113.51
  • Resistance: 119.48, 120.82, 121.91

The US Dollar is treading water after rising against the Japanese Yen as expected after putting in a Bullish Engulfing candlestick pattern. A daily close above the 23.6%Fibonacci expansion at 119.48 exposes the December 23 high at 120.82. Alternatively, a turn below 117.64-91 area marked by a horizontal pivot and the 23.6% Fib retracement clears the way for a challenge of the 38.2% threshold at 115.48.

An actionable trade setup is absent at this point, arguing against committing to a directional bias on long or short side. We will continue to stand aside for now, waiting for a clear-cut trading opportunity to present itself in the days ahead.
