USD / JPY Technical Forex Analysis for Forex Traders

No change for yesterday’s outlook, after the Yen’s strength penetrated the lows of last December & January, we were left with no notable support protecting the 15-year low which was reached last November at 84.81! We will not be a bit surprised if this pair started to move in that direction, and tried to break that low! On the contrary, we have been expecting this for weeks now, and it was included in our reports several times. But, signs show that the possibility of a rising correction to correct the fall from Wednesday’s top 89.09 to Friday’s low 86.25 is growing. On the top of these signs: the inverted hammer formation, which appeared on the daily chart, and the completed
5-wave move (please refer to the attached chart). Therefore, and even though we are negative about this pair on the medium term, we should not neglect these signs which force themselves upon us for today! Short term support is at 86.94, and if broken, the price will continue searching for new lows, targeting 86.25, then the 15-year low 84.81. Resistance is presented by the Fibonacci level 88.01. A break here indicates that the odds of correction the whole
5 waves down from 92.87 are becoming massive. This will target 88.78 & 89.56.
