USD/JPY Analysis: Stuck Between 110.50 And 112.00

‘The rise in Treasury yields is supporting the dollar. It appears that speculative buying of Treasuries has run its course, with Trump concerns and geopolitical risks no longer fresh news.’ – Daiwa Securities (based on Reuters)

Pair’s Outlook

The US Dollar weakened against the Yen on Wednesday, but managed to avoid serious losses by closing at 111.50. However, further bullish potential is now under question, as the 55-day SMA and the weekly pivot point are once again acting as an immediate supply area. A drop back under 111.00 is always possible, due to lack of supports around that area, leaving the monthly PP at 110.48 as the only possible turnaround point unless losses exceed 150 pips. Technical indicators are unable to confirm the possibility of either the negative or the positive outcome, thus, we should not rule out the chance of another leg up and the potential retake of the 112.00 mark.

Traders’ Sentiment

Traders’ sentiment remains bearish, with 57% of all open positions being short. Meanwhile, 52% of all pending orders are to buy the Buck.
