. USD/JPY - 107.28... Dlr edged higher fm 106.88 y'day to 107.40 in Europe n briefly dropped to 106.80 (NY) after downbeat U.S. jobless claims but only to rally to session highs of 107.50 following yen-comment by Japan's PM Shinzo Abe.
. On the bigger picture, although dlr's break of previous Apr's 107.63 low to an 18-month trough at 105.55 on Tue confirms MT fall fm 2015 near 13-year top at 125.86 (Jun) to correct the entire LT uptrend fm 2011 record bottom at 75.32 has once again resumed n price is en route twd 100.59 (50% r) in Jun/Jul after consolidation. Ahead of today's key U.S. jobs data, as long as res 108.73 holds, choppy trading with downside bias remains, however, break of 105.55 needed to extend weakness to 105.20, then 104.88, being 2015 Oct 14 low n 50% projection of 121.70-107.63 measured fm 111.91 respectively. Having said that, as the daily n hourly indicators have displayed 'bullish convergences', 104.88 would hold on 1st testing n only abv 108.73 would signal a temporary low is made, risk 110.67.
. Today, y'day's intra-day breach of 107.47 to 107.50 suggests further choppy trading above Tue's 105.55 low would continue ahead of U.S. NFP n abv 107.50 would yield 107.88, then 108.20. Below 107.25 yields 105.55, 105.20. _20160506072928.png)
