USD/JPY Technical Strategy: Sidelines Preferred
Facing make-or-break moment on test of key support
Range between 101.20 and 102.77 at threat of breakout
USD/JPYis facing a make-or-break moment as the pair hurtles towards its long-held range-bottom at 101.20. A reversal pattern near the noteworthy support level would be taken as a buy signal, while a daily close outside the range would pave the way for a test of 100.75.
