USD/JPY targets 112.23/50

“USD/JPY has rallied to and tested the July high at 111.66. This may provoke a minor dip back ahead of further gains to the more important 112.23/50 zone, which represents highs since 2019.”

“The USD/JPY pair may take a couple of attempts to clear the 112.23/50 resistance zone, but above here will introduce scope to 114.55 the October 2018 high.”

“Dips lower are indicated to hold in the 111.10/110.70 bracket.”
