Tuesday, November 29, 2016 3:54 PM UTC
- USD/JPY inched higher on Tuesday as better than expect US GDP data reinforced expectations that Federal Reserve will raise interest rate in by the end of year.
- Data showed U.S. economy grew faster than initially thought in the third quarter, notching its best performance in two years.
- Expectations of stronger growth after U.S President-elect Donald Trump takes office in January have also helped dollar regain its footing.
- Further downside is expected to be limited as the pair finds strong support at 111.91 which should limit further decline and bring rebound towards higher levels in the short term.
- To the upside, the strong resistance can be seen at 113.83, a break above this level would take the pair towards next resistance level at 114.00.
- To the downside immediate support can be seen at 112.56, a break below this level will open the door towards next level at 111.91.
