Key quotes
“USD/JPY came under pressure again, it remains capped by the three-month downtrend at 105.70 and the focus is on the 104.00 September low. This together with the 200-month ma at 103.93 guards the 103.43/78.6% Fibonacci retracement which is the last defence for the 101.18 March low.”
“Rallies will find initial resistance lines at 105.70 ahead of the seven-month resistance line at 106.23. Only above here will trigger a move to the 200-day ma at 107.17.”
