Daily Pivots: (S1) 142.07; (P) 142.65; (R1) 143.69; More…
USD/JPY’s rally continues today and breaks through 61.8% retracement of 151.93 to 127.20 at 142.48. Intraday bias stays on the upside at this point. Sustained trading above 142.28 will pave the way to retest 151.93 high. On the downside, break of 141.20 minor support will turn intraday bias neutral first.
In the bigger picture, rise from 151.93 are seen as a corrective pattern to up trend from 102.58. The first leg has completed at 127.20. Rebound from there is seen as the second leg, and should be limited below 151.93. Sustained trading below 55 D EMA (now at 137.47) will argue that the third leg has started back to 127.20 and possibly below.
