Pair's Outlook
In spite of all expectations, USD/JPY declined yesterday. The worse-than-expected US fundamental data weighed on US Dollar, forcing it to lose ground and fall back under the 2007 high. However, this was likely just a setback in the Greenback's bullish trend, as the Buck is expected to rebound today. The 2007 high is to be left behind once more, but the nearest resistance rests beyond hand's reach. The 125 psychological level is the target, while technical indicators are now giving bullish signals, bolstering the positive outcome.
Traders' Sentiment
