USD/JPY rises to as high as 112.91 in early US session and touching near term channel resistance. Intraday bias stays on the upside. Sustained break of the channel will argue that whole pull back from 118.65 has completed at 108.12 already. In such case, further rise should be seen to 114.36 resistance for confirmation. On the downside, below 111.82 minor support will turn bias neutral first. If that happens, we’ll assess the near term outlook alter.
In the bigger picture, price actions from 125.85 high are seen as a corrective pattern. It’s uncertain whether it’s completed yet. But in case of another fall, downside should be contained by 61.8% retracement of 75.56 to 125.85 at 94.77 to bring rebound. Overall, rise from 75.56 is still expected to resume later after the correction from 125.85 completes.
