FxWirePro: USD/JPY pauses decline, downside side remains intact

  • USD/JPY declined on Wednesday as political risks posed by-elections in Europe and worries over U.S. President Donald Trump's policies increased demand for safe-haven Japanese yen.
     
  • Investors are concerned about the strong showing in the French presidential race of far-right candidate Marine Le Pen, who has promised to take France out of the eurozone and to hold a referendum on European Union membership.
  • Further upside is expected to be limited as the pair finds strong resistance at 113.79 which should limit upside and bring a decline towards lower levels.
     
  • To the upside, the strong resistance can be seen at 112.98, a break above this level would take the pair towards next resistance level at 113.43.
     
  • To the downside immediate support can be seen at 111.60, a break below this level will open the door towards next level at 111.00.
