USD/JPY Firmer On Fed Tapering Talks

USD/JPY Open 104.23 High 104.75 Low 103.85 Close 104.16

On Monday Dollar/Yen decreased with 50 pips. The currency couple depreciated from 104.38 to 103.85 yesterday, not matching the positive money flow sentiment at almost +15%, closing the day at 104.16. This morning the Dollar lifted against the Yen, reaching 104.75.

On the 1 hour chart the upward channel has turned into range trading, while on the 3 hour chart the upward channel is on hold. Break above today's top and nearest resistance 104.75 would encourage further recovery of the Dollar. Immediate support is yesterday's bottom at 103.85, and consistent break below it could strengthen the Yen further down towards next target 102.91.

There are no major economic events for Japan today.
