Intraday bias in USD/JPY remains on the upside and rise from 107.31 is still in progress. Further rally would be seen to medium term channel resistance (now at 112.91). Sustained break there will argue that whole correction from 118.65 has completed too. In that case, further rise should be seen to 114.49 resistance for confirmation. On the downside, break of 109.54 support is needed to indicate completion of the rebound. Otherwise, outlook will stay cautiously bullish in case of retreat.

In the bigger picture, rise from 98.97 (2016 low) is seen as the second leg of the corrective pattern from 125.85 (2015 high). It’s unclear whether this this second leg has completed at 118.65 or not. But medium term outlook will be mildly bearish as long as 114.49 resistance holds. And, there is prospect of breaking 98.97 ahead. Meanwhile, break of 114.49 will bring retest of 125.85 high. But even in that case, we don’t expect a break there on first attempt.

Intraday bias in USD/JPY remains on the upside for the moment. Fall from 114.49 should have completed at 107.31 already.

Up trend from 75.56 is expected to resume at a later stage for above 135.20/147.68 resistance zone.
