. USD/JPY - 119.18...The pair penetrated Tue's low at 119.22 in Asia y'day as sell off in global stocks triggered active broad-based buying of yen on risk aversion. Price tumbled to 118.33 in Europe, however, release of upbeat U.S. data n hawkish comments by Fed's officials lifted dlr to 119.43 near NY close.
. Looking at the daily chart, despite dlr's early brief breach of 2014 peak at 121.85 (Dec) to a near 8-year high of 122.03, lack of follow-through buying n subsequent brief but sharp fall to 119.29, then to a 5-week low of 118.33 y'day confirms a top is in place. Although dlr's strg rebound fm 118.33 suggests a temporary low has been made there n 2-3 days of choppy consolidation is in store, reckon 120.18 (50% r of 122.03-118.33) shud cap upside n yield another leg of decline later next week. Below 118.33 wud yield weakness twd 117.80 n then twd next chart obj. at 116.66 next month.
. Today, buying dlr on dips in anticipation of further rise is favoured, however, 120.17/18 wud cap upside. On the downside, only below 118.33 risks one more fall to 118.00/04 b4 prospect of a correction.
