Daily Pivots: (S1) 108.51; (P) 108.72; (R1) 109.14; More..
USD/JPY’s rally continues today and hits as high as 109.22 so far. Intraday bias stays on the upside for channel resistance at 110.02 next. Decisive break there will carry larger bullish implications. On the downside, below 108.08 minor support will turn intraday bias neutral and bring consolidations. But outlook will stay bullish as long as 106.21 resistance turned support holds.
In the bigger picture, focus is now back on long term channel resistance (now at 110.02). Sustained break there will indicate that the down trend from 118.65 (Dec 2016) has completed. Further break of 112.22 resistance will confirm this bullish case and target 118.65 next. However, rejection by the channel resistance will keep medium term outlook bearish.
