Daily Pivots: (S1) 108.60; (P) 108.87; (R1) 109.09; More..
Intraday bias in USD/JPY remains neutral with focus on 108.64 minor support. Firm break there will suggest short term topping at 109.48. Rebound from 104.45 could have completed on bearish divergence condition in 4 hour and daily MACD, after failing to sustain above 109.31 key resistance. Intraday bias will be turned back to the downside for 107.88 support. On the upside, break of 109.48 will resume the rise from 104.45 to 100% projection of 104.45 to 108.47 from 106.48 at 110.50.
In the bigger picture, strong support was seen from 104.62 again. Yet, there is no confirmation of medium term reversal. Corrective decline from 118.65 (Dec. 2016) could still extend lower. But in that case, we’d expect strong support above 98.97 (2016 low) to contain downside to bring rebound. Meanwhile, on the upside, break of 112.40 key resistance will be a strong sign of start of medium term up trend.
