  • Dark Cloud Cover Receives Confirmation

USD/JPY continues to keep traders in suspense near the 108.00 hurdle as a Dark Cloud Cover pattern warns of weakness. A close under the 108.00 floor may herald a deeper correction to the 107.00. However some skepticism over a continued pullback may be warranted – given recent reversal signals have been met with some disdain by traders.
