Pair's Outlook
Investors sold the American Dollar on Monday, due to uncertainty emitting from the US political debates that day. As a result, the USD/JPY currency pair crossed the nearest demand area, represented by the monthly S1 and the 50% Fibo. However, a significant drop lower would still be an achievement, as it would imply a full-scale breach of the 100.00 psychological level. In turn, the 100.00 mark is reinforced by the weekly S1 and the Bollinger band, also indicating that a fall deeper down is highly improbable today. The base case scenario is a rally, but it is uncertain whether the Buck will be able to climb over the 100.75 level, with technical indicators unable to confirm the bullish scenario.
Traders' Sentiment
Today 64% of traders are long the US Dollar (previously 63%), whereas 61% of all pending orders are to buy the Buck (down from 63%).
