Intraday bias in USD/JPY remains neutral for the moment. On the upside, break of 112.40 temporary top and sustained trading above 112.13 will confirm resumption of whole rise from 104.69, for 114.54 resistance. On the downside, however, firm break of 111.65 minor support will indicate short term topping. Intraday bias will be turned back to the downside for 110.84 support. Break will indicate bearish reversal for 109.71 support and below.
In the bigger picture, medium term outlook in USD/JPY remains a bit mixed as it’s staying inside falling channel from 118.65, but there are signs of bullish reversal. On the upside, break of 114.54 resistance will revive the case the corrective fall from 118.65 has completed with three waves down to 104.69. And whole rise from 98.97 (2016 low) is resuming for 118.65 and above. But before that, outlook stays neutral first.
