Daily Pivots: (S1) 109.43; (P) 109.65; (R1) 110.09; More…
USD/JPY’s rise from 104.62 is still in progress and intraday bias remains on the upside. Current rally would target 61.8% retracement of 114.73 to 104.62 at 110.86 next. On the downside, below 109.50 minor support will indicate temporary topping. And, intraday bias would be turned neutral for consolidation, before staging another rise.
In the bigger picture, break of 108.12 support turned resistance now suggests that corrective fall from 118.65 (2016 high) has completed with three waves down to 104.62. And, rise from 98.97 (2016 low) could be resuming. Focus is back on 114.73 resistance and break there will pave the way to 118.65 and above. This will now be the preferred case as long as USD/JPY stays above 55 day EMA (now at 107.78).
