USD/JPY (¥119.312)
- Resistance Levels: 122.50, 124.10, 125.75
- Support Levels: 119.40, 117.90, 115.50
The dollar is gaining momentum to the downside versus the Japanese yen. Please refer to the above MT 4 daily chart. The first bearish reversal sign that we are noting is the 3 inside down candlestick pattern. This is a bearish reversal indicator. Also note the ebbing RSI momentum. These are adding to the seller’s momentum.
We need a daily close below the technical support found at 119.40. Once this happens we will test 117.90 then 115.50. Should the USD/JPY start to push back higher, then we need a daily close back above 122.50. Once this happens we will challenge the technical level at 124.10.
You would think jumping in with a short position would be ideal right now. However, we are trading at a support level, which is supported by the rising trend line. From a risk to reward perspective, this might not make a lot of sense. At this time, there are no clear bullish reversal patterns. This means taking a long position is not an ideal scenario either. I need a clearer signal before jumping in. Of course, I will be watching this Forex pair today and will update if needed.
