"No doubt low U.S. interest rates have supported growth in emerging economies... but keeping rates below 1 percent for such a long period of time is abnormal."
- Taro Aso, Japanese Finance Minister (based on CNBC)

Pair's Outlook

USD/JPY has fallen from the upper trend-line of the triangle the currency pair has been forming since the last days of August. Support is at 119.60, and a base scenario is a rebound from here up to 120.30. However, the overall bias is negative, and we should be prepared for a breakout from the pattern to the downside. This will confirm Dollar's intentions to visit a supposedly tough support level at 118.50.

Traders' Sentiment

A majority of people is willing to hold long positions. Right now they constitute 61% of the market after 58% yesterday. Apparently, this was a result of triggered buy orders, the share of which has contracted from 70 to 58% within the last 24 hours.
