USD/JPY Daily Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 111.06; (P) 111.21; (R1) 111.37; More…

As noted before, whole rebound form 107.32 should have finished at 114.73. Intraday bias in USD/JPY remains on the downside for 61.8% retracement of 107.31 to 114.73 at 101.14. For the moment, we’re still favoring the case medium term corrective pattern from 118.65 has completed at 107.31 already. Hence, we’ll looking for bottoming below 101.14 to bring another rise. On the upside, break of 112.71 resistance will indicate that the fall from 114.73 is completed and turn bias back to the upside.

In the bigger picture, medium term rise from 98.97 (2016 low) is not completed yet. It should resume after corrective fall from 118.65 completes. Break of 114.49 resistance will likely resume the rise to 61.8% projection of 98.97 to 118.65 from 107.31 at 119.47 first. Firm break there will pave the way to 100% projection at 126.99. This will be the key level to decide whether long term up trend is resuming. However, firm break of 111.64 support will dampen this view and turn focus back to 107.31 instead.
