USD/JPY’s fall resumed by taking out 110.18 and reaches as low as 107.09 so far. Intraday bias is back on the downside for lower channel support (now at 109.55). We’ll look for bottoming signal around there. but Break of 111.47 resistance is needed to indicate short term bottoming. Otherwise, deeper decline is expected. Firm break of the channel support would pave the way to retest 107.31 low.
In the bigger picture, we’re holding on to the view that correction from 118.65 is completed at 107.31. And medium term rise from 98.97 (2016 low) is going to resume soon. Sustained break of 114.73 should affirm our view and send USD/JPY through 118.65. However, break of 107.31 will dampen this view and extend the medium term fall back to 98.97 low.
