"The market is taking the situation in Cyprus as not something that should affect broad risk sentiment, but as something specific to the euro area. Reduced risk aversion tends to weigh on the yen." 
- Barclays Plc. (based on Bloomberg)


Pair's Outlook

After news from Cyprus investors reduced their risk exposure and purchased "safe haven" assets. Thus USD/JPY has increased 150 pips since Monday morning and continues to advance. The pair overcame the weekly PP at 95.22 very easily and the next resistance lies at 96.37, which is constructed by the monthly R2 and weekly R1. Nevertheless, the most important factor warning about the price's ability to add to gains is the RSI, which already has a value of 79 in a weekly timeframe.
