Key Quotes
“The USD/JPY extended its decline to 118.40 before bouncing back towards current levels, still having trouble to regain the 119.00 figure.”
“Ever since the BOJ commented further stimulus may be counterproductive, the yen has been strengthening against its rivals, with upward corrective movements seen now as short term selling opportunities.”
“Technically, the 1 hour chart shows that the price holds below its 100 SMA while 200 SMA offers intraday support at 118.50. Indicators in the same time frame maintain a neutral tone around their midlines, while in the 4 hours chart technical readings maintain a clear bearish momentum that supports some further declines particularly below 118.40 strong static support level.”
