Pair's Outlook

Right now USD/JPY is undergoing a correction, but a combination of the 55, 100 and 200-day SMAs has a good chance of stopping the dip from developing any further. Moreover, there are strong demand areas at 98.15/97.82 (monthly PP) and 97.19 (up-trend support) in case the sell-off drags on. From the upside the currency pair is limited by 99.36/11.
