USD/JPY Technical Analysis: Treading Water Near 120.00

USD/JPY Technical Analysis: Treading Water Near 120.00

Talking Points:

  • USD/JPY Technical Strategy: Flat
  • Support: 119.56, 118.71, 118.32
  • Resistance: 120.68, 121.41, 122.13

The US Dollar corrected narrowly lower after seemingly completing an upside breakout against the Japanese Yen late last week. A daily close above the 38.2% Fibonacci expansion at 120.68 exposes the 50% level at 121.41. Alternatively, a reversal below trend line resistance-turned-support at 119.56 opens the door for a challenge of the April 3 lowat 118.71.

While entering long is a compelling proposition from a purely technical perspective, we will tactically opt to stand for now. Sentiment-linked Yen pairs may see positioning derailed by reactions to this week’s high-profile event risk. With that in mind, we will stay flat for the time being.
