USD/JPY - 109.03.. Dlr edged higher in Asia to 108.79 on Mon n price rose to 108.89 in Europe on upbeat U.S.-China trade news. The pair hit 108.95 b4 a pullback but only to climb to session highs of 108.97 in NY afternoon.

Looking at the bigger picture, dlr's fall fm 118.66 (Dec 2016) to 107.27. in 2017 (Sep) confirms uptrend fm 2016 29-month bottom at 99.00 has made a top. Despite a strg rise fm 2018 16-month bottom at 104.57 to 114.55 in Oct, subsequent flash crash to a 9-month low at 104.79 in early Jan, then Aug's 33-month bottom at 104.46 suggests correction is over.
