USD/JPY clinging to the 102 handle
FXStreet (Guatemala) - USD/JPY has been holding on for life after the pair dropped dramatically from above 102.35 and realised a low of 101.90.
USD/JPY currently trades tightly between 102.00 and 102.10 in the main. Nevertheless, Kit Juckes, Societe Generale, Global Head of Currency Strategy, said he feels comfortable that a base in USD/JPY is being built from which a move beyond 105 is likely in the coming weeks, adding, “The final week of the fiscal year sees little fresh news and little reason for the yen to move far, but the pressure on the BOJ to ease further to counteract the effects of the consumption tax increase, already growing, will be irresistible if there is any sign that the tax is affecting spending”.
USD/JPY Levels
The 20 DMA is 102.27, the 50 DMA is 102.51 and the 200 DMA is 100.50. RSI (14) reads 39.03. Supports are ascending from 101.69, 101.89 and 102.01. Spot is 102.07 while resistances are 102.49, 102.69, 102.86 and 103.43.
