USD/JPY
Current level - 87.72
The overall downtrend has been renewed with the recent break below 87.12. Trading is situated below the 50- and 200-day SMA, currently projected at 94.86 and 94.84.
The test of the 88.01 resistance is still on the run and we continue to expect a reversal around these levels, due to the negative bias on the larger frames. Unfortunately there are still no signs of a reversal and the pair is well supported at 87.40 with a crucial level at 86.50. Beyond 88.01 resistance next important area is 88.75.
