Daily analysis
USDJPY best support at 108.00/107.80 again today. Longs need stops below 107.70. A break lower however signals the next leg lower in the short term bear trend targeting 107.50/45 then strong support at 107.20/15.
Longs at 108.00/107.80 target minor resistance at 108.35/40 then strong resistance at 108.95/05.
EURJPY bottomed exactly at first support at 129.80/70. A break below 129.60 SHOULD signal further losses to 129.25/15. Below 129.05 expect very strong support at 127.80/70.
Gains are likely to be limited in the bull trap with first resistance at 130.10/20. We topped exactly here yesterday but shorts need stops above 130.30. Next target & resistance at 130.60/70.
CADJPY first resistance at 8660/80. Strong resistance at 8705/15.
Minor support at 8615/05 but below here can target targets 8580/70 before a retest of yesterday’s low at 8540. The best support for today at 8510/8490. Longs need stops below 8475.
