FxWirePro: USD/JPY dips below lower range, bearish bias increases

  • The USD/JPY pair sunk sharply towards lower levels on Tuesday, hitting as low as 101.20, after Japan's cabinet approved a package of spending in new fiscal measures.
     
  • The government's package includes 7.5 trillion yen in spending by the national and local governments, and earmarks 6 trillion yen from the Fiscal Investment and Loan Program, which is not included in the government's general budget.
     
  • Further upside is expected to be limited as the pair finds strong resistance at 102.52 which should limit upside and bring a decline towards lower levels.
     
  • To the upside, the immediate resistance can be seen at 101.40, a break above this level would take the pair towards next resistance level at 101.73.
     
  • To the downside immediate support can be seen at 101.06, a break below this level will open the door towards next level at 100.60.
