Technical Analysis:
The USD/JPY pair has held above the 61.8% retracement of its July’s decline and its previous weekly highs in the 108.30/40 price zone, the immediate support. The top of the range just shy of 109.00 is the first possible bullish target should US data surprise to the upside. In the 4 hours chart, technical indicators remain flat at around their weekly highs and at overbought readings. The same chart shows that the pair remains above its moving averages, still confined to a tight range, although with the 20 SMA advancing beyond the larger moving averages, somehow leaning the scale to the upside.
Support levels: 108.40 108.00 107.65
Resistance levels: 109.00 109.35 109.80
Our Sentiment: Buy Till 109 ( Until the support is broken at 107.5)
