The Dollar/Yen Breaks above ¥119

USD/JPY (¥119.054)

The USD/JPY has finally cracked above the ¥119 handle after momentum returned to the market. If you note the above daily MT 4 chart you will see a whole string of Dojis which indicate seller hesitation before the buyers returned. With this break above 119, we need a daily close at this point to target the next significant level at 119.79/80.

The below 4 hour chart paints virtually the same picture as the daily chart. There are no bearish reversal indicators anywhere near our current price level. Still, because we are at a key technical level, standing aside from a risk to reward perspective makes sense. We need to close above the ¥119 level with strength before I consider jumping in with a long position. Thanks to no reversal signals, I am reluctant to short now as well. My strategy remains flat at this moment.
