Pair's Outlook
USD/JPY has commenced a bearish correction after hitting the up-trend resistance line. The initial support the pair is likely to meet is located at 90.16/12, also being the level of the previous peak, while we cannot rule out a fall down to 89.27/07. Once this phase is completed, the price will be set to continue the recovery, as suggested by a majority of technical studies.
