USDJPY: The short term momentum indicators looking a mixed
|USDJPY: 112.29
US$Jpy is a bit lower on Thursday with year-end demand for the Yen negating the US$ strength seen elsewhere.
1 hour/4 hour indicators: Mixed
Daily Indicators: Turning higher
Weekly Indicators: Neutral
Preferred Strategy: As before, a nimble stance is required, with the short term momentum indicators looking a mixed, while the dailies are leaning slightly higher now and buying dips is preferred for the medium term. Look for a range of 111.65/112.80 to cover it today, with further consolidation likely ahead of the US Jobs report, Friday. A break of good support at 111.60 may lead to stops being triggered and lead the dollar back towards 110.85/111.00 although I don’t see it happening today.
Economic data highlights will include:
