Key Quotes
“USD/JPY nearly retested its April low at 107.63 before bouncing back”.
“We will nonetheless stick to our immediate bearish forecast while it remains below last week’s high at 109.74”.
“Below
107.63 lies major support – namely the 106.63 38.2% Fibonacci
retracement of the move up from 2012. In this vicinity we also find the
200 month moving average at 105.86 and we suspect that the currency pair
will attempt to stabilise here”.
“Nearby resistance comes in
between the February and March lows at 110.67/111.04. We will need a
close above the latter level to alleviate downside pressure and allow
for a recovery towards the resistance line at 111.17”.
