FxWirePro: USD/JPY breaks support at 112.50, good to sell rallies

  • Doubt over OPEC output cut deal dented investors’ confidence in risky assets, boosting safe-havens JPY demand.
     
  • USD/JPY extending decline from multi-month highs, hits session lows of 111.35. 
     
  • The major is staging some recovery as we head towards the Asian session, but intraday bias lower.
     
  • Technicals are bearish, spinning top formed at highs on Friday's trade. 
     
  • We see scope for test of 20-DMA at 108.12, bearish invalidation on close above 5-DMA.
     
  • Support levels - 111.35 (session low), 111, 110.33 (23.6% Fib), 108.12 (20-DMA & 38.2% Fib)
     
  • Resistance levels - 112, 112.40 (5-DMA), 113, 113.89 (Nov 25 high)
     
  • Our previous call (http://www.econotimes.com/FxWirePro-USD-JPY-trade-idea-419662) has achieved all targets.

Recommendation: Good to sell rallies around 112/112.10, SL: 112.50, TP: 111.35/ 111/ 110.30
