Talking Points

  • Strategy: Long Target: 119.80 Stop: 117.80 (Daily Close)
  • Shooting Star Awaiting Formation Near Key Support
  • H4 Chart Offered An Early Warning Of An Intraday Dip

USD/JPY is in for a suspenseful session as a Shooting Star formation awaits confirmation near critical support. A daily close below the 117.90 mark may help validate the signal and herald a short-term dip. However until received the risks likely remain skewed to the upside given the presence of a core uptrend. After achieving the 117.90 target offered in recent reports the next focal point is the August ’07 high near 119.80.
