Pair's Outlook
The 124.00 major provided support this time, preventing the USD/JPY pair from sustaining too much losses. Today the US Dollar is expected to remain relatively unchanged against the Japanese Yen, amid lack of market movers and Japanese bank holiday. Furthermore, technical indicators are giving mixed signals in the daily timeframe, suggesting the Greenback is to trade flat. The 124.00 psychological level keeps providing support, while immediate resistance rests too far, around 124.75.
Traders' Sentiment
Bullish market sentiment returned to its Wednesday's level of 74%, whereas the number of purchase orders added one percentage point up to 57%.
