USD/JPY - 111.21
The greenback's sharp fall and subsequent break of November's trough at 110.84 to a fresh 4-month low at 110.48 Monday, then 110.20 today signals erratic decline from November's peak at 114.74 has finally resumed and choppy trading with downside bias would be seen for weakness towards 110.10/15.
However, over sold condition would keep price above 109.70/74 and yield a much-needed correction later this week.
On the upside, only above 111.19 would indicate a temporary low has been made and risk would increase for a stronger retracement to 111.69/70.
