USD/JPY modestly higher ahead of US data. The USD/JPY pair traded as high as 104.05 ahead of the US opening, unable however, to get rid of the neutral tone seen last week, as the pair keeps trading in tight intraday' ranges. The 1 hour chart shows that the price is above its 100 and 200 SMAs, but also that technical indicators are retreating towards their mid-lines within positive territory, at least suggesting no selling interest around the pair. In the 4 hours chart, however, the pair presents a modest positive tone, as the price remains well above a bullish 100 SMA, while technical indicators are recovering from around their mid-lines. The immediate resistance comes at 104.20, with a break above it supporting a retest of the monthly high in the 104.60 region.
