The Yen is set to strengthen to 95 per dollar on a break below 100
USDJPY failed to find buyers around 103
Closed below the 102.85 (62%) retracement level on Friday on heavy selling (large macro fund driven)
A test of 99.98 now looks likely and momentum favours a break to the downside
If this level holds then a 'right shoulder' could form around 102.50 - 103.00
Whether this forms or nota close below 99.98 ushers a projected move towards 95.35 (a further close below 98.78 confirms this)
There is confluence around 95 with the long term (2011 - 2015) 62% support level also in this area
Sell short with a stop (on close) above 104.63 and a target of 95.35. Alternatively, less aggressive traders may look to enter short on any bid around 102.50 - 103.00 if a right shoulder is to form before testing the downside pivot at 99.98
