Pair's Outlook
The US Dollar's weakness is spurring the Japanese Yen's recovery, as of now USD/JPY has approached the 118 level, meaning that it has lost almost 400 pips in the week. There is a relatively strong support level (monthly PP and weekly S2) at 116.75/56 that could potentially halt the current retreat and give the necessary bullish impetus for a rebound.
Traders' Sentiment
The sentiment of the SWFX market participants remains neutral with respect to USD/JPY, as of today 51% of the market participants are long. Concerning the orders placed 100 pips from the spot, there are more commands to buy, namely 58%.
