USD/JPY - ..... Despite a recovery from 103.79 to 104.00 in NY session, dlr came under renewed selling pressure shortly after Tokyo open n briefly weakened to 103.70 as fall in Nikkei triggered broad-based buying in yen (N225 was last seen down 80 points to 15454).
Although dlr's intra-day breach of yesterday's NY low at 103.75 suggests further choppy trading below Mon's 7-month peak at 104.49 would continue, sharp fall is unlikely ahead of the release of a slew of U.S. data (U.S. Q2 GDP, PCE, jobless claims n pending home sales) in NY morning.
Therefore, trading dlr from both sides of the market is recommended.
Bids are placed at 103.70/65 n 103.55 with stops emerging just below 103.50. On the upside, offers are noted at 103.80-90 n then 104.00 with stops located above 104.10.

Offers are now tipped at 104.00-10 whilst some bids are located at 103.80-75 with some stops seen below there but buying interest is located well above 103.50 sup.
