"The yen is supported in a bid for safety as the Ukraine situation is escalating. Yen gains may be limited ahead of big events next week."

Pair's Outlook

As it turns out, the support at 102.20, consisting of the weekly PP and 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of the November-December advancement, should be enough to keep the pair afloat. Once USD/JPY stabilises, it will be expected to aim for 102.77/72, the level which has recently triggered a strong sell-off. Nevertheless, eventually this hurdle is likely to be overcome, as the long-term perspectives are considered to be bullish.

Traders' Sentiment

Though USD/JPY is struggling to recover, the traders are strongly convinced that in the end the U.S. Dollar will appreciate relative to the Yen, as 71% of open positions are long. Concerning the orders, 65% of them are set to buy the buck against the Asian currency.
