USD/JPY sidelined near 122.60
FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The Japanese currency is giving away part of the initial advance vs. its American counterpart on Monday, sending USD/JPY to the 122.60 area.
USD/JPY weaker post-referendum
The results from the Greek referendum on Sunday boosted the risk-off trade at the opening bell in Asia today, giving extra legs to the Japanese currency and dragging spot to test lows in the 122.00 neighbourhood.
In the data space, Japanese Coincident Index and Leading Economic Index dropped during the month of May to 109.2 and 106.2 respectively. In the US today, Markit’s Services PMI, ISM Non Manufacturing and the Labour Market Conditions Index are all due.
USD/JPY relevant levels
At the moment the pair is retreating 0.14% at 122.64 and a breakdown of 121.86 (low Jul.6) would expose 121.73 (low May 26) and then 121.45 (low May 25). On the other hand, the immediate hurdle aligns at 123.46 (high Jul.1) ahead of 123.73 (high Jul.2) and finally 123.99 (high Jun.26).
