Key Quotes
“USD/JPY is easing back from the 61.8% retracement at 110.02. This resistance is reinforced by the 200 day ma at 110.22. We note the divergence of the daily RSI and we would allow for a dip lower. Dips lower will find initial support at the 108.72 uptrend and 107.90 mid-February high”.
“Above the 200 day ma, key resistance remains the 112.44 2015-2018 downtrend”.
“Below 107.90 will alleviate immediate upside pressure for a slide to the 55 day ma at 107.06. This guards the March low at 104.56”.
