FxWirePro: USD/JPY remains bullish as rally continues
Monday, November 14, 2016 4:26 PM UTC
- USD/JPY rose on Monday as dollar was supported by jump in U.S. bond yields as traders bet fiscal and trade policies under a Donald Trump administration would stoke inflation.
- Trump's stunning U.S. presidential win last week also sparked expectations that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates in December.
- Further downside is expected to be limited as the pair finds strong support at 106.95 should limit further decline and bring rebound towards higher levels in the short term.
- To the upside, the strong resistance can be seen at 108.58, a break above this level would take the pair towards next resistance level at 109.11.
- To the downside immediate support can be seen at 107.74, a break below this level will open the door towards next level at 106.95.
