  • 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.
