USD/JPY Technical Strategy: Flat

Support: 106.50 105.57 104.50
-
Resistance: 107.31 108.63 109.70
The US Dollar may be carving out a bottom against the Japanese Yen after prices put in a bullish Morning Star candlestick pattern. A daily close above the 23.6% Fibonacci retracementat 107.28 exposes the 38.2% level at 108.57. Alternatively a reversal back below the 14.6% Fib at 106.48 opens the door for a test of the 50% Fib retracement at 105.57.
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 a more actionable opportunity to present itself.
