USD/JPY short-term review
In the case that the rate breaks the resistance of the 114.00 mark, it could encounter resistance in the 100 and 200-hour simple moving averages at the 114.50 level. Meanwhile, take into account that the 114.00 mark was being strengthened by the 50-hour SMA and the weekly simple pivot point.However, a bounce off from the resistance of the 114.00 level would most likely reach the 113.00 mark. If the 113.00 fails to provide support, the USD/JPY might reach the 112.50 level and the weekly S1 simple pivot point.
