Daily Pivots: (S1) 136.39; (P) 136.96; (R1) 137.44; More…
USD/JPY’s up trend resumes by breaking 137.74 and intraday bias is back on the upside. There is sign of upside re-acceleration as seen in daily and 4 hour MACD too. Next target is 100% projection of 114.40 to 131.34 from 126.35 at 143.29. On the downside, below 136.46 minor support will turn intraday bias neutral and bring consolidations first, before staging another rally.
In the bigger picture, current rally is seen as part of the long term up trend from 75.56 (2011 low). Next target is 100% projection of 75.56 (2011 low) to 125.85 (2015 high) from 98.97 at 149.26, which is close to 147.68 (1998 high). This will remain the favored case as long as 126.35 support holds.
