"My bias is for yen to go weaker. The Japanese economy isn't doing well. It's troubled and the domestic market is flat, so it's hard to find reasons to buy the yen"
- Hans Kunnen, St. George Bank Ltd (based on Bloomberg)Pair's OutlookYesterday's trading session in USD/JPY pair started at 80.00, there was a few swings below the level with tops very close to a 80.00 level benchmark. However, the final movement was a rapid decrease till the 79.36 level, where the 200-day SMA goes. This area provided a sufficient support power to stop a depreciation, therefore the price is currently increasing. If the price stays in the lower Bollinger line part after correction, it is very likely to see the further price decrease till the 78.85/70 area, where the 55-day and 100-day SMAs converge with the weekly S2.
