Key quotes

“USD/JPY has reached the 200-week ma at 109.01, we also have a 55-month ma at 109.25 and the 2016-2021 resistance line at 110.00. If that is not enough we have a 13 count on the daily chart and TD resistance at 109.47. All suggest that we are likely to see some profit-taking imminently and we would continue to tighten stops and lighten up long positions.”

“Intraday Elliott wave counts are implying a small retracement to 107.60/106.85 ahead of further strength.”

“Initial support lies at 106.22, the mid-February high. Key support remains the uptrend at 105.53.”
