Conversely, even if the indicators prove are correct, and USD/JPY breaks the immediate resistance, there will still be a plenty of levels to stop appreciation of the US Dollar, such as the weekly PP and 200-hour SMA at 123.94 and Jul 24 high at 124.09. In the meantime, an overwhelming majority of traders is long, namely 74% of them.
