FxWirePro: USD/JPY breaks major trendline resistance at 114.25, good to long dips

  • USD/JPY has broken major trendline resistance at 114.25, bias higher.
     
  • The pair finds stiff resistance upto 115.15 levels, breakout above will confirm upside.
     
  • Technical studies are bullish. Stochs have rolled over from oversold and RSI is biased higher.
     
  • MACD is on verge of a bullish crossover on signal line, which if happens will add to upside bias.
     
  • Yen weak across the board after BoJ crushed markets expectation for tapering QE at its next policy review meeting.
     
  • USD/JPY is currently struggling to get past 115.15 level. Risk averse can wait for breakout to go long.
     
  • Those with more risk appetite can go long on dips, with strict stop loss.
