  • USD/JPY declined sharply on Thursday as uncertainty steaming from political uncertainty in the United States and Europe prompted investors to seek safe-haven assets such as Japanese yen.
     
  • Concern over U.S. President Donald Trump's policies, as well as elections in the Netherlands, France and Germany this year kept investors from making big bets on greenback.
     
  • The pair remains under bulls control unless until it trades above 112.48 support level, therefore it is good to buy this pair on dips.
     
  • To the upside, the strong resistance can be seen at 113.84, a break above this level would take the pair towards next resistance level at 114.17.
     
  • To the downside immediate support can be seen at 113.23, a break below this level will open the gates towards next level at 112.85.
