107.63 - Last Mon's fresh 17-month low
106.98 - 61.8% proj. of 121.70-110.67 fm 113.80
106.55 - 38.2% r of 75.32-125.86
. USD/JPY - 107.93... Despite hitting a fresh 17-month trough of 107.63 at the start of last week, verbal warnings by Japanese official prompted active broad-based yen-selling, dlr later climbed back to 109.74 on Fri b4 retreating.
. Let's look at the bigger picture 1st, although dlr's strg rebound fm last Mon's 17-month bottom at 107.63 suggests the medium-term downtrend fm 2015 near 13-year peak at 125.86 (Jun) has formed a temporary low there, as 109.74 has contained upside, bearishness is retained for weakness to next downside obj. at 106.98 (being 61.8% projection of 121.70-110.67 measured fm 113.80) after consolidation, however, 106.55 (38.2% r of entire rise fm 75.32-125.86) would hold. On the upside, only a daily close abv 109.92 (prev. sup, now res) would risk stronger correction to 110.64 b4 prospect of another fall later this month.
. Today, dlr's cross-inspired selloff fm last Fri's 1-week high at 109.74(Asia) to 108.60 in NY after downbeat U.S. data, then intra-day 'gap-down' open to 107.75 at NZ open confirms said correction fm 107.63 has ended n a re-test of this sup is forthcoming, break would extend weakness to 107.20/30 but o/sold readings on hourly indicators should keep price abv 106.98, yield rebound later.
