USD/JPY holding onto mid 102.00’s
FXStreet (Guatemala) - USD/JPY has been mostly bid on Thursday’s 101.80 run and bullish trend to todays highs approaching 103.00 psychological level. The pair is attempting the downside but this is suspected as pure profit taking ahead of the weeks close in European and North American markets.
Karen Jones, chief strategist at Commerzbank explained, “While the market holds over its 101.45 3 month support line, it will continue to hold a slight upside bias”. She continued to explain that the recent move above the 20 day ma suggests upside scope for further recovery and we should see a move to 103.45 (29th Jan high). “This guards 104.45 en route to the more important 105.45/50 recent high and long term Fibo. We have a multitude of supports between 101 and 100, we look for this ‘zone’ to under pin. This area is also reinforced by the the 200 day m.a. at 100.19 and the 55 week ma at 99.23”.
