Pair's Outlook
The US Dollar surprised with its performance on Thursday, as it inched higher against the Japanese Yen unexpectedly. As a result, the pair managed to climb over the 23.60% Fibo, which now suggests that more bullish momentum could follow. Even though technical indicators are also in favour of the positive outcome, the 114.50 psychological level should be considered as a potential resistance, as it prevented the Buck from edging higher on several occasions last week. Meanwhile, the nearest resistance rests only at 115.14, represented by the weekly R1. -
Traders' Sentiment
There are now 60% of traders with a negative outlook towards the Greenback, compared to 62% yesterday. The portion of orders to purchase the Buck, however, remains unchanged at 52%.
