Key quotes

“USD/JPY looks to be stabilizing as expected just ahead of what we look to be better support at the near-term uptrend from early January and early January high at 104.40/26. Our bias remains to look for a fresh floor here for an attempt to turn higher again.” 

“Resistance moves to 104.93 initially, above which should see a move back to 105.33 and then the 200-day average at 105.55. A close above here and then 105.77 is needed to reassert the recovery for the ‘measured wedge objective’ at 106.95/107.05.”

“Below 104.26 can see weakness extend to the 55-day average at 103.99/94, but with fresh buyers again looked for here. A close below though would warn of a more serious turn lower to test 103.64/56, potentially 103.33.”
