Key Quotes
“It was a one way ride for the USD/JPY that advanced up to 121.39 with the news, holding now above the 121.00 figure.”
“The 1 hour chart shows indicators are extreme overbought levels losing the upward strength, but with price holding near the highs, chances of a stronger retracement seem limited.”
“In the 4 hours chart the technical picture is pretty much the same, with indicators exhausted in overbought territory. Nevertheless, if stocks in the US rise alongside with yields, the risk remains to the upside, pointing to an approach to the 122.00 figure before the day is over.”
