Our forecast
USD/ JPY: The US dollar seems to have found support at 109.850 and may start to work its way back up. We might see some price consolidation around this price level before it makes a clear run to the upside. The US dollar needs to clear the resistance price level at 110.107 before moving on to its next challenge at 110.300
It is good practice to apply a stop loss to all your trades to protect your capital in case the market moves against your position.
