Intraday bias in USD/JPY remains neutral for the moment. Further rise is in favor with 111.07 support intact. Sustained break of medium term channel resistance (now at 113.03) will argue that whole correction from 118.65 has completed. In that case, further rise should be seen to 114.49 resistance for confirmation. However, break of 111.07 minor support will raise the risk of rejection from channel resistance and turn bias back to the downside for 55 day EMA (now at 110.64) and below.

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.

USD/JPY rose to 112.71 last week but lost momentum ahead of medium term channel resistance. Initial bias is neutral this week first. Further rise is in favor with 111.07 support intact. Sustained break of medium term channel resistance (now at 113.03) will argue that whole correction from 118.65 has completed.

In the long term picture, the rise from 75.56 (2011 low) long term bottom to 125.85 top is viewed as an impulsive move, no change in this view. Price actions from 125.85 are seen as a corrective move which could still extend. In case of deeper fall, downside should be contained by 61.8% retracement of 75.56 to 125.85 at 94.77. Up trend from 75.56 is expected to resume at a later stage for above 135.20/147.68 resistance zone.

USD/JPY’s rise from 107.31 resumed after brief retreat. The development argues that fall from 114.49 is already completed at 107.31.
