On Friday morning, the USD/JPY currency pair found resistance in the 115.70 mark. The pair kept testing the resistance of this level until the US Dollar suddenly experienced an all out drop at 14:00 GMT. By the time of writing, the reason was unclear. Meanwhile, it was spotted that there was a support zone at 115.16/115.18.

If the decline of the USD/JPY passes below the support zone at 115.16/115.18, the rate could look for support in the 50-hour simple moving average near 115.05 and the 115.00 level. Below these levels, the most close by support was the weekly R1 simple pivot point at 114.65.

However, a resumption of the surge of the US Dollar against the Japanese Dollar would need to pass the weekly R2 simple pivot point at 115.58 and the 115.70 mark, before aiming at the 116.00 level and the weekly R3 simple pivot point at 116.10.
