• USD/JPY - 101.81... Dlr initially rose to 110.93 last Mon n retreated to 99.94, price swung sideways in next few days b4 jumping to 101.93 on Fri in NY session after hawkish comments by Fed's Yellen n Fischer.

• On the bigger picture 1st, although dlr's fall fm 107.49 (Jul's high) to 99.54 in mid-Aug signals correction fm Jun's 29-month bottom at 99.00 has ended there, however, as the 2-week long daily sideways swings ended with an upside break to 101.93 on Fri, suggesting further volatile trading abv 99.00 would continue n as hourly technical indicators are rising strongly, upside bias remains for gain to 102.58, being 38.2% r of 107.49-99.54, abv would extend to 103.52 (50% r), however, reckon 104.45 (61.8% r) would cap upside n yield decline. On the downside, a daily close below 100.93 would signal correction is over n yield weakness to 100.09, a daily close below there needed to re-test 99.00.

• Today, as current price is trading well abv the 21-hr n 55-hr emas, suggesting intra-day upside bias remains for further gain, however, as hourly oscillators' readings are in o/bot territory, reckon res at 102.66 should remain intact n only below 101.17 (prev. res, now sup) signals temp. top made, 100.62.
