Talking Points:

  • USD/JPY Technical Strategy: Flat
  • Support: 108.76 107.95 106.63
  • Resistance: 109.68 110.43 111.64

The US Dollar turned sharply lower against the Japanese Yen as expected posting the largest daily drop in six months. A daily close below the 14.6% Fibonacci retracement at 108.76 exposes the 23.6% level at 107.95. Alternatively a turn above the 14.6% Fib expansion at 109.68 opens the door for a challenge of the 23.6% threshold at 110.43.

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