Key Quotes
“The USD/JPY has been in a corrective mode for a while, but the recent price developments indicated there may be an earlier exit from the sideway theme and a new uptrend formation to 124 and above targets should the price break above the trendline (forming a bull flag)”.
“The trendline lies near the 118.70 resistance. This may be seen as a trigger”.
“Overall: 1) if the 118.70 is broken on a sustained basis, buy outright to 124.00 (stop 115.00).
“2) If 115.60 is broken to the downside, wait for a deeper correction to 114.00/ 112.31 to buy for the 124 target”.
