• USD/JPY recovered from three week low   on Tuesday as concerns over tensions in the Middle East partially offset investors optimism for  U.S. interest rate cuts.

• Investors are on edge amid geopolitical risks, with Israel and Lebanon's Hezbollah exchanging fire on Sunday.

• The dollar recovered as much as 0.11% to 144.66 yen    recovering from weakest intraday level since Aug 5th.

• Technical signals are bearish as RSI is heading down  at 33, daily momentum studies  5, 9 and 11 DMAs are trending down.
 
• Immediate resistance is located at 145.43 (50%fib), any close above will push the pair towards 146.65 (Daily high).

•  Support is seen at 143.50 (38.2%fib) and break below could take the pair towards 142.39 (Lower BB)

Recommendation: Good to sell  around 144.70, with stop loss of 145.50 and target price of 144.00
