Technically speaking, the USD/JPY is now trading at 98.48, incurring a small loss of -0.12%. Briefing the technicals, the USD/JPY will encounter means of support at 98.36, ahead 97.99, and 97.60, notes the Mataf.net analyst team.
USD/JPY strategic bias
According to the Technical Analyst Team at ICN.com, “The USD/JPY is trading around key resistance level of the descending channel that dominated the pair’s trading since the top 101.53. The referred to resistance is close to 38.2% correction at 98.60 which is the intraday interval for the pair this week. Risk/Reward Ratio are appropriate because the pair is close to the referred to 98.60. Therefore, we will suggest an upside move this week. Of note, breaking 98.05 indicates trading again within the descending channel, which may trigger a trend reversal to the downside.”
