Pair's Outlook
This week USD/JPY pair is very volatile, but only in a narrow zone, bounded by the weekly S1 at 81.56 and a down-sloping line at 82.45. The pair forms a triangle, thus making it possible to trade from the sides of the pattern. On the other hand, technical indicators return to a neutral zone, while the price stays in the flat corridor. Accordingly, it is likely to see continuation of an up-trend, if the pair does not show more signs of a downside correction.
