|"USD/JPY continues to consolidate at the 100 week ma at 114.74, this together with a divergence of the daily RSI and a 13 count does point to a near term correction lower/consolidation."

Pair's Outlook
In spite of all bullish signs, the Greenback failed to edge higher against the Japanese Yen yesterday, as the 23.60% Fibo provide to be too strong to pierce. However, the USD/JPY pair did not suffer substantial losses, with the immediate support, namely the weekly PP, remaining intact. Technical indicators insist the Buck is to climb up today, but a bearish development is more probable, since the pair remains close to this week's strong resistance. Due to lack of market movers bears are unlikely to push the US Dollar below the 113.25 level, where the weekly pivot point rests. -
