  • Speculation that the BoJ will be adding further stimulus very soon is keeping the yen subdued.
     
  • USD/JPY has broken major trendline support at 106.40, has hit session highs at 106.72 before pating some gains to currently trade at 106.63.
     
  • Intraday bias higher, focus remains on BoJ and FOMC policy meets, additional stimulus from BoJ likely while FOMC is expected to hold.
     
  • Techs support further upside in the pair, weakness only below 105.42.
     
  • Supports on the downside are seen at 105.98 (50-DMA), 105.68 (10-DMA) and then 105.42 (July 21 low).
     
  • Resistance on the upside is seen at 107, 107.90 (June 7 high) and then 108.15 (100-DMA).
    ​
