Intraday bias in USD/JPY remains neutral for the moment. With 108.80 resistance intact, near term outlook stays bearish for further decline. On the downside, break of 106.78 minor support will resume from 112.40 to retest 104.69 low. However, firm break of 108.80 will indicate short term bottoming and turn bias to the upside for 110.67 resistance instead.
In the bigger picture, decline from 118.65 (Dec 2016) is still in progress, with the pair staying inside long term falling channel. Break of 104.62 will target 100% projection of 118.65 to 104.62 from 114.54 at 100.51. For now, we’d expect strong support above 98.97 (2016 low) to contain downside to bring rebound.
