USD/JPY - 112.90.. Despite resuming recent upmove to a 2-week high of 114.96 last Wed, dlr then tumbled on renewed broad-based buying of yen n drop in U.S. Treasury yields, price later weakened to as low as 112.62 in NY on Fri.

Looking at the bigger picture, dlr's early rally fm 2016 bottom (Jun) to a 10-1/2 month peak of 118.66 in mid-Dec confirms MT fall fm 2015 near 13-year peak at 125.86 has ended there, however, subsequent erratic fall to Feb's low of 111.60 confirms a temporary is made n broad sideways trading is in store. Having said that, dlr's gain to 114.96 last Wed suggests consolidation with mild upside bias would be seen for at least a strg retracement of aforesaid decline, a daily close abv 115.96 (61.8% r) anytime signals pullback is over, then price would head twd 118.66 next month. On the downside, only below 112.00/10 would abort this bullish view n risk weakness twd 109.92 (50% r of 101.19-118.66).

Today, dlr's stronger-than-expected decline fm 114.96 to 112.62 on Fri suggests 1st leg of correction fm 111.60 has ended n although marginal weakness is likely, as hourly indicators would display 'bullish convergences' on next dec line, reckon 112.35 would hold. Abv 113.09 signals temporary low made, 113.50.
