Key Quotes
“USD/JPY’s rally off the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement at 103.66 has now taken it above the 104.13 April high, the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement at 104.44 and the August peak at 104.49 to the mid-January high at 104.92”.
“Around this level it may lose upside momentum today but over the next few days the 105.45 2014 peak should be touched”.
“Support below 104.49/44 can be seen at 103.66/50. It is where the 61.8% retracement and last week’s low are to be seen”.
“Further support comes in around the July peak at 103.15”.
“We will retain our immediately bullish view while USD/JPY trades above the August 22 low at 103.50 on a daily chart closing basis”.
