Japanese Yen Remains Above 118.00
By Sam ShenkerA further move to the upside will
most likely see the pair gain further upside momentum and with a break above the
psychologically important 120.00 handle, most likely aiming for 121.39, a level
defended by the 2005 High and a start of the previous anti-dollar rally. A move
following the breakout will most likely see the pair extend its gains toward
123.25, a level established by the November 25, 2002 daily high. Indicators are
mixed with positive momentum indicator above the zero line and MACD below the
zero line, with ADX above 25 at 27.99, signaling an existence of a maturing trend,
not a direction of one, while overbought Stochastic adds to the trending
outlook.
