FxWirePro: USD/JPY neutral in the near-term, scope for downward resumption

  • The USD/JPY pair dipped on Thursday as greenback struggled for direction after minutes from Wednesdays U.S. Federal Reserve meeting suggested that the central bank could take a more cautious approach to interest rate increases. 
     
  • Fed policymakers had agreed at the meeting that they should hold off from raising rates until it is clear that a recent U.S. economic slowdown is only temporary, though most said an increase is coming soon.
     
  • Further upside in this pair is likely to be limited as the pair finds strong resistance at 108.00 which should limit more upside and bring a decline towards lower levels.
     
  • To the upside, the strong resistance can be seen at 109.50, a break above this level would take the pair towards next resistance level at 109.92.
     
  • To the downside immediate support can be seen at 109.14, a break below this level will open the door towards next level at 108.80.
