USD/JPY: Cautiously bearish below 110.10
FXStreet (Barcelona) - USD/JPY is trading at 108.90, down -0.78% on the day, having posted a daily high at 109.86 and low at 108.79.
USD/JPY has taken the bulls for a ride and now tests the psychological support of the 109 handle with the USDJPY bull run now looking well and truly stretched. Analysts at TD Securities explained a little more downside movement overall this week would bolster the outlook for a corrective push lower in the USD. “Given that the USD has already rebounded strongly from the 23.6% initial retracement support zone, there is a possibility that the “dip” has already been seen. But while the USD is capped below 110.10, corrective risks remain. The weekly chart shows a possible top forming last week (“hanging man” signal) which a lower close this week will help “confirm”. We are cautiously bearish while USDJPY is below 110.10”.
