USD / JPY Technical Forex Analysis for Forex Traders

The Dollar/Yen successfully jumped to the broken trend line we talked about previously, and performed a classic retest move, very accurate, before dropping 75 pips, in yet another confirmation that the bears are beating the bulls! With this classic retest, the break of the rising trend line from May 20th will continue to have a tremendous effect on the short term direction, and may be the medium term as well. But, we need a break of today's support at 90.75 to say that we are on the way to the same set of targets we suggested yesterday. Meaning, if we break 90.75, we will target 89.81 first, and may be 88.96 later. On the other hand, it is required to keep trading below the falling line descending trend line from June 14th high, in order for the negative technical outlook to keep prevailing. This important line is running currently at 91.25. If we keep trading below this level, it will probably fall more & more. But, if we break above this level, the Dollar will say no to the downside scenario, and will test the area which stopped the rise twice on June 7th & June 14th at 92.07, and then 92.56.
