Despite today’s mild recovery, intraday bias in USD/JPY remains on the downside for retesting 109.02 low. Break will resume fall from 112.40 and target 61.8% retracement of 104.69 to 112.40 at 107.63. In any case, near term outlook will stay bearish as long as 55 day EMA (now at 110.72) holds.
In the bigger picture, USD/JPY is staying inside falling channel from 118.65. Current development suggests that rebound from 104.69 is only a corrective move. And fall from 118.65 is not completed yet. Decisive break of 104.69 will extend the down trend towards 98.97 support (2016 low). For now, we’d expect strong support above there to bring rebound.
