FxWirePro: USD/JPY neutral in the near-term, scope for downward resumption
Tuesday, June 6, 2017 1:42 PM UTC
- USD/JPY declined on Tuesday as political uncertainty from the United States to the Middle East and weakness in commodity markets pushed investors towards safe-haven Japanese yen.
- The yen also gained amid prevailing caution as an Arab rift opened up around Qatar, and ahead of testimony from the former head of the FBI, a British election and the European Central Bank's next move which all happen on Thursday.
- The pair remains under bears control unless until it trades below 110.03 resistance level, therefore it is good to sell this pair on rallies.
- To the upside, immediate resistance can be seen at 109.62, a break above this level would take the pair towards next resistance level at 110.03.
- To the downside immediate support can be seen at 109.27, a break below this level will open the gates towards next level at 109.00.
