Pair's Outlook
The Greenback's bullish development against the Japanese Yen on Tuesday caused the broadening falling wedge pattern to be preserved. Even though the bearish momentum could prevail today, there is a number of supports located below the 102.00 major level, which are likely to prevent the Buck from sustaining sharper losses. One of those supports is a five-month trend-line, which should ideally be the lowest border to contain the volatility. Technical indicators also suggest the USD/JPY pair is to weaken today, but strong fundamentals could be sufficient to trigger a buying-spree, leading the exchange rate above the 103.00 psychological level.
Traders' Sentiment
Bulls retreated over the day, with 66% of traders holding long positions (previously 72%). The share of buy orders skyrocketed from 45 to 78%.
