  • The USD/JPY declined on Thursday as the slump in stock prices in major world markets increased the demand for Japanese yen.
     
  • The dollar rebounded against other currencies, except for the yen, following the prior day's losses tied to reduced bets on a pending U.S. interest rate increase following last week's disappointing jobs report.
     
  • Further upside is expected to be limited as the pair finds strong resistance at 107.65 which should limit upside and bring a decline towards lower levels. 
     
  • To the upside, the immediate resistance can be seen at 107.17, a break above this level would take the pair towards next resistance level at 107.65.
     
  • To the downside immediate support can be seen at 106.66, a break below this level will open the door towards next level at 106.06.
