FxWirePro: USD/JPY maintains bullish bias with focus on 107.00 levels
Monday, July 18, 2016 6:45 PM UTC
- USD/JPY rose on Monday, as investors bought the greenback after a robust retail sales report on Friday increased appetite for riskier assets putting pressure on the Japanese yen.
- The yen sank across the board as investors unwound a surge of safe-haven trades made on the back of an attempted military coup in Turkey.
- Further downside is expected to be limited as the pair finds strong support at 105.41 which should limit the slipping below and bring a rebound towards higher levels.
- To the upside, the strong resistance can be seen at 106.41, a break above this level would take the pair towards next resistance level at 107.00.
- To the downside immediate support can be seen at 105.91, a break below this level will open the door towards next level at 105.41.
