Talking Points:
USD/JPY Technical Strategy: Flat
Support: 119.41, 117.91, 115.48
Resistance: 120.82, 121.91, 123.88
The US Dollar recoiled downward against the Japanese Yen, recording the largest daily decline in two weeks. Near-term support is at 119.41, the 14.6% Fibonacci retracement, with a break below that on a daily closing basis exposing the 23.6% level at 117.91. Alternatively, a reversal above the December 23 high at 120.82 opens the door for a challenge of the 38.2% Fib expansion at 121.91.
Prices are too close to support to justify entering short from a risk/reward perspective. On the other hand, the absence of a defined bullish reversal signal suggests that taking up the long side is premature. With that in mind, we will remain flat for now.
