USD/JPY bounces in an attempt to 119.50
FXStreet (Mumbai) - USD/JPY swings between gains and losses in the European morning, recovering most losses from the previous session, while the US dollar continues to extend on the downside.
USD/JPY rises from 119.16 levels
Currently, the USD/JPY traded flat at 119.36 levels, after a failed attempt to reach 119.50 levels.

USD/JPY Technical Levels
To the upside, the next resistance is located at 119.50 levels and above which it could extend gains 119.84 levels. To the downside immediate support might be located at 119 levels, below that at 118.52 (50-DMA) levels.
