Buyers appear to be gaining confidence despite supply
Monthly timeframe:
(Technical change on this timeframe is often limited though serves as guidance to potential longer-term moves)
Since kicking off 2017, USD/JPY has been carving out a descending triangle pattern between 118.66/104.62.
April and May were pretty uneventful, with June also wrapping up indecisively in the shape of a neutral doji candlestick pattern.
Areas outside of the noted triangle can be seen at supply from 126.10/122.66 and demand coming in at 96.41/100.81.
Daily timeframe:
Partially altered from previous analysis -
Having observed a mild downbeat tone over the course of last week, price, as you can see, eventually made its way back to demand at 105.70/106.66 on Friday. This helped entice buyers into the market Monday and snap a three-day losing streak.
Assuming an extension to the upside, the 200-day simple moving average at 108.36, as well as the 108.16 high (July 1), are watched resistances.
H4 timeframe:
Partially altered from previous analysis -
Friday’s decline threw light on demand at 106.39/106.64, an area joined closely with channel support (107.36) and a 161.8% Fib ext. level at 106.67. The aforesaid demand encouraged a round of buying into the second half of Friday’s session, generating a bullish engulfing candle.
Follow-through buying took hold Monday, funding a move into supply at 107.39/107.20 that intersects with channel resistance (108.16). Breaking here will likely lead us to peaks at 107.78.
H1 timeframe:
Despite demand at 106.71/106.80 having its lower extreme penetrated early US Friday, buyers were unfazed Monday. 107 resistance put up little fight, consequently handing traders a supply from 107.36/107.18 (as well as the 100-period simple moving average) and pulling the RSI value into overbought territory (bearish divergence).
So far, sellers have not really warmed to the aforesaid supply, with buyers attempting to establish a base above the 100-period simple moving average. The next available resistance is set around the 107.50 point.
Structures of Interest:
Daily demand at 105.70/106.66 recently re-joined the fight, placing buyers in a brighter light.
H1 supply at 107.36/107.18 appears to be weakening, despite H4 supply also in play at 107.39/107.20.
Buyers are gaining confidence, thanks to daily demand. In addition to this, H1 holds above its 100-period simple moving average. This may see intraday upside unfold off the noted SMA today, targeting at least 107.50.
