. USD/JPY - 114.38.. The greenback started the week with a firm undertone as rally in Asian stocks (except China) boosted risk sentiment, triggering broad-based selling in yen, price ratcheted higher to 114.10 in Asia n later 114.73.
. Looking at the bigger picture 1st, although dlr's breach of Jan's 115.97 ow (now res) confirms MT downtrend fm 2015 near 13-year peak at 125.86 (Jun) has resumed, subsequent stronger-than-expected rebound fm last Thur's 15-month trough at 110.99 n then y'day's rally abv 114.21/26 (prev. res) to 114.73 signals a temporary low has been made n choppy consolidation with upside bias is in store this week. As long 113.27 (reaction high fm 110.99) holds, further gain to 115.08 is envisaged, being a 'minimum' 38.2% r of intermediate fall fm 121.70 to 110.99, only abv 115.97 would suggest aforesaid correction fm 125.86 is over. A daily close below 113.27 may suggests retracement is over n yield 110.99 later.
. Today, despite dlr's rally to 114.73 near N. American close, intra-day retreat ahead of Asian open suggests consolidation is in store with downside bias, below 114.10 would bring stronger retrace. to 113.60 but 113.17/27 should contain weakness. Only abv 114.73 extends to 115.00 but 115.20 would cap upside.
