  • USD/JPY - 115.85.. Dlr went through a 'roller-coaster' session y'day. Price briefly penetrated Mon's 115.97 to 115.66 in Aust. n recovered to 116.21 but only to tumble to 115.20 in Asia b4 rising back to 116.34 in NY b4 down.

  • Looking at the daily chart, dlr's early rally abv previous 107.49 res (Jul high) to a 10-1/2 month top of 118.66 in mid-Dec confirms the downtrend fm 2015 near 13-year peak at 125.86 has ended at 99.00 (Jun). However, subsequent fall to 115.07 last Fri confirms temp. top is formed n choppy sideways swings are in store. As long as 117.97 holds (80.9% r of 118.66-115.07), downside bias remains n below 115.07 would bring stronger retracement to 114.80 n possibly twd 113.61, being 38.2% r n 50% r respectively of intermediate rise fm 108.56-118.66 . Abv 117.97 suggests correction over, then dlr would head twd 120.10, this is 2016 top (Jan), however, 'bearish divergences' on daily technical indicators should prevent further strg gain n a much-needed correction would occur in Feb.

  • Today, dlr's decline fm Mon's 117.53 high to 115.20 y'day suggests correction fm last Fri's 115307 low has ended n below this sup would extend recent fall fm 118.66 to 114.74/77, however, reckon 114.35/50 would hold.
