Daily Pivots: (S1) 107.57; (P) 107.87; (R1) 108.08; More…
USD/JPY is staying in consolidation from 106.78 and intraday bias remains neutral. Upside of recovery should be limited by 108.80 resistance to bring fall resumption. On the downside, break of 106.78 minor support will extend the decline from 112.40 to retest 104.69 low. However, firm break of 108.80 will indicate short term bottoming and turn bias to the upside for 110.67 resistance instead.
In the bigger picture, decline from 118.65 (Dec 2016) is still in progress, with the pair staying inside long term falling channel. Break of 104.62 will target 100% projection of 118.65 to 104.62 from 114.54 at 100.51. For now, we’d expect strong support above 98.97 (2016 low) to contain downside to bring rebound.
