USD/JPY is trying to reassert the up move
“Rallies are likely to find tough resistance at 114.55/69, the November 2017 high and recent high. Above 114.55/69 we have 115.60, the 61.8% retracement of the move down from 2015 and then the 117.06 the 1998-2021 resistance line.”
“Nearby support lies 112.73/112.56 then 111.90, the 38.2% and 50% retracements. The 111.66 July high is also found in this vicinity and should hold the downside.”
