- Support: 119.24 117.23 116.23
- Resistance: 120.48 122.49 124.12
The US Dollar looks to be accelerating against the Japanese Yen anew with prices poised to advance beyond the 120.00 figure. A daily close above the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement at 120.48 exposes the 38.2% level at 122.49. Alternatively a reversal below the 14.6% Fib at 119.24 clears the way for a test of the November 27 low at 117.23.
While a long position seems compelling we will tactically opt to stand aside for now. The Yen is typically very sensitive to oscillations in risk sentiment which may turn violent as high-profile event risk (ECB NFP) looms ahead. This could derail chart positioning and we prefer to wait out the results rather than commit to a directional bias at this point.
