USD/JPY - ...... Despite dlr's 'gap-down' open on Mon to a fresh 1-month trough at 121.70 in NZ as the Greek 'no' vote results triggered active cros-buying of yen on risk aversion, short-covering quickly lifted price ahead of Asian and dlr later climbed back to 122.71 in Tokyo morning before easing.

Although aforesaid intra-day rebound suggests consolidation with mild upside bias would be seen ahead of European open, intra-day weakness in Nikkei index (N225 was last seen down 1.36% to 20261) should prevent sharp gain above 122.00 level and yield retreat later, therefore, whilst buying on dips is recommended in Asia, position traders can look to sell on next intra-day rise.

At the moment, bids are noted at 122.30-20 and around 122.00 with stops located below 121.70, whilst offers from various accounts are tipped at 122.90-00 and then 123.20-30 with stops building just above 123.50.
