USD/JPY Technical Analysis: Aiming Above 120.00 Once Again

USD/JPY Technical Analysis: Aiming Above 120.00 Once Again

To receive Ilya's analysis directly via email, please SIGN UP HERE

Talking Points:

  • USD/JPY Technical Strategy: Flat
  • Support: 119.48, 117.98, 115.48
  • Resistance: 120.82, 121.91, 123.88

The US Dollar looks set to move back above the 120.00 figure against the Japanese Yen after clearing chart resistance. A daily close above the December 23 highat 120.82 exposes the 38.2% Fibonacci expansionat 121.91. Alternatively, a turn below the 23.6% Fib at 119.48 clears the way for a challenge of the 14.6% expansion at 117.98.

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.
