. USD/JPY - 111.23.. Dlr met renewed selling at 112.20 in NZ on Mon n fell below Fri's 111.02 low to 110.77 in Asia. Despite a recovery to 111.17 at European open, price hit 1-month low of 110.64 b4 rising strongly to 11.32 in NY.

. On the bigger picture 1st, dlr's strg rise fm 2016 bottom of 99.00 (Jun) to 118.66 (mid-Dec) confirms MT fall fm 2015 near 13-year peak at 125.86 has end -ed there. Despite subsequent decline to 108.13 in Apr this year, dlr's 3-legegd upmove to 114.49 in mid-Jul suggests broad sideways trading is in store. Having said that, dlr's weakness to 111.02 last Fri signals a strg retracement of said move fm 108.13 has taken place n would head twd 110.56 (61.8% r fm 108.13), however, as hourly n daily oscillators' readings would be in o/sold territory on such move, reckon 109.34 (80.9% r) would remain intact. Selling dlr on recovery is favoured n only abv 112.42 signals low is possibly made, 112.87, then 113.58.

. Today, despite resumption of recent decline to a 1-month low of 110.64, as this lvl was accompanied by 'bullish convergences' on the hourly indicators, subsequent strg bounce in NY to 111.32 would bring consolidation n 111.48 needs to hold for one more fall to 110.35/40. Abv 111.48 risks 111.81 n later 112.08.
