The USD/JPY bounced sharply from a daily low of 105.26, reached during the US session, settling a few pips above the 106.00 level at the end of the day. Despite risk sentiment favored safe-haven assets, the likelihood of fiscal and monetary stimulus in Japan limited demand for the local currency, favoring better its American rival.
The pair has traded as high as 106.31 last week, and the 1 hour chart shows that intraday declines towards the 105.00 level keep attracting buying interest. Also, and in the same chart, the price continues developing well above a bullish 20 SA, currently around 105.15 whilst the technical indicators remain within positive territory, although with no upward strength.
In the 4 hours chart, the Momentum indicator bounced from its 100 level, heading now north ahead of the Asian opening, whilst the RSI indicator also heads higher, around 67, maintaining the risk towards the upside.
Support levels: 105.15 104.70 104.25
Resistance levels: 106.40 106.80 107.25
