USD/JPY Bulls Still Have Cause for Optimism
07 January 2011
The FX Specialist view -
MONTHLY CHART In the FX Specialist Guide we have continued to note a positive RSI divergence, which questions the longer term bears' resolve. The major 1995 low just under 80.00 is so far providing support.
|
WEEKLY CHART The downtrend in 2010 fell short of the projected bear channel base, the next support on this chart. First resistance here comes from the late 2009 84.81 low - see also Daily chart, though.
|
DAILY CHART: The breach of the bear channel top was a positive sign - note how the recent pullback found support from this old line, as well as the 76.4% retracement. We have been viewing any dips as temporary and in the FX Specialist Guide continue to hold a bullish stance. On the upside focus should be on the 85.86/93 area, 38.2% recovery and 16-Sep high. However, the more key, pivotal resistance area is 87.60/88.00, 50% recovery and old key support. |
