Key quotes
“USD/JPY has eroded the short-term downtrend at 106.32 which alleviates downside pressure and casts attention to the 200-day ma at 108.15.”
“Initial support is 105.30, the 6th August low. Last week’s low at 104.20 guards the 103.43/78.6% retracement, which is the last defence for the 101.18 March low.”
