USD/JPY Mid-Day Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 104.36; (P) 105.07; (R1) 106.12; More.
USD/JPY's rally from 103.54 extends further to as high as 108.02 in early US session and is now pressing 107.97 resistance. At this point, intraday bias remains on the upside as long as 106.63 minor support holds. Decisive break of 107.97 will confirm that decline from 110.66 has completed at 103.54 after drawing support form 103.76 support. In other wise, whole medium term rebound is possibly in still force and further rally should be seen to retest 110.66 high first. On the downside, below 106.63 will turn intraday outlook neutral.
In the bigger picture, the failure to sustain below 103.76 support and subsequent strong rebound from there argues that fall from 110.66 is corrective in nature. In other words, medium term rebound from 95.77 might still be in progress. Break of 107.79 will affirm this case and bring retest of 110.66 high first. Break will confirm medium term rebound from 95.77 has resumed.
However, once again, note bearish divergence condition in daily MACD and USD/JPY is still limited below 55 days EMA. Break of 103.76 will revive the case that medium term rebound from 95.77 has completed at 110.66. The three wave structure of the rise from 95.77 to 110.66 argues that it's merely a correction in the larger down trend. Hence, in such case, deeper medium term decline should be seen to retest this 95.77 low.
