"The U.S. is the only one that is ready to hike. The rest of the world is either neutral or dovish. That supports the positive dollar view."

Pair's Outlook
Although the USD/JPY managed to climb above the 121.00 major level, the 200-day SMA limited the Greenback's gains yesterday. According to short-term indicators, the Buck is poised for another surge, despite having retreated to the opening price (pushed back by the weekly R1) today. The 200-day SMA is still acting as a rather strong resistance, and along with a number of fundamentals, might cause a decline towards the 120.00 cluster. A fresh two-month high is yet to be established, with the next supply target around 121.75, namely the 100-day SMA.
Traders' Sentiment
Bears keep taking up 71% of the market, while the portion of orders to acquire the USD gained seven percentage points to 56%.
