Daily Pivots: (S1) 108.48; (P) 109.11; (R1) 109.52; More..
USD/JPY’s fall accelerates to as low as 104.69 before recovering ahead of 104.62 low. For now, intraday bias remains on the downside despite the current recovery. Decisive break of 104.62 will target 100% projection of 118.65 to 104.62 from 114.54 at 100.51, which is close to 100 psychological level. On the upside, break of 109.46 minor resistance is needed to indicate short term bottoming. Otherwise, outlook will remain bearish even though the current recovery might extend.
In the bigger picture, price actions from 125.85 (2015 high) are seen as a long term corrective pattern, no change in this view. Apparently, such corrective pattern is not completed yet. Fall from 114.54 is seen as another medium term down leg, targeting 98.97/104.62 support zone. For now, we’d expect strong support from there to contain downside to bring rebound.
