Key Quotes
“The break above the key 110.65 resistance led to the strongest USD gain since October 2014 (when BOJ surprised the market by expanding its monetary stimulus measure)”.
“From
here, the outlook is clearly bullish but the rapid and sharp rise is
severely overbought especially from a short-term perspective and this
could lead to a couple of days of consolidation first”.
“Looking ahead, further USD
strength can be expected towards 112.20 and possibly 113.80. Strong
support is at 110.60 but only a move back below 109.80 would indicate
that the bullish phase has ended”.
