Pair's Outlook
In the wake of a weaker Yen the USD/JPY currency pair surged more than 200 pips yesterday, providing a solid confirmation of a six-month trend-line. The US Dollar is now likely to continue outperforming the Japanese currency, retaining Monday's momentum. The 20-day SMA is the closest resistance, but the exchange rate has the potential to climb over the 104.00 major level, where the weekly R2 coincides with the monthly PP. However, we should not rule out the possibility of the pair undergoing a corrective decline, as technical indicators are giving unable to confirm the positive outlook. In this case the weekly R1 at 102.26 will be the nearest level to limit the losses.
Traders' Sentiment
Although not as strong as yesterday, but market sentiment remains bullish at 68%. The share of buy orders inched up from 32 to 61%.
