USD/JPY Technical Analysis: Rebound Stalls Below 124.00

USD/JPY Technical Analysis: Rebound Stalls Below 124.00

Talking Points:

  • USD/JPY Technical Strategy: Flat
  • Support: 123.18, 122.36, 121.54
  • Resistance: 124.09, 125.11, 125.93

The US Dollar stalled below the 124.00 figure after attempting to mount a recovery against the Japanese Yen. Near-term resistance is at 124.09, the 23.6% Fibonacci expansion, with a break above that on a daily closing basis exposing the 38.2% level at 125.11. Alternatively, a reversal below the 38.2% Fibretracement at 123.18 clears the way for a challenge of the 50% threshold at 122.36.

Risk/reward considerations argue against entering long with prices in close proximity to resistance. On the other hand, the absence of a defined bearish reversal signal suggests taking up the short side is premature. We will remain flat for now, waiting for an actionable opportunity to present itself.
