The US dollar continues to struggle for direction against the Japanese yen on Friday, as financial markets calm after recent fears about the Turkish economy. The USDJPY pair currently trades within a well-defined bear flag pattern which extends from 110.65 to the 111.25 level. Traders should also note that price is also trading inside much larger bearish head and shoulders pattern.
