USDJPY to Hold Support?A simple look at the daily chart shows a trend line that can be drawn from the previous lows and touches the current low in the Yen. It is a make or break level which if held could set up for a move back to the 1.10 level and possibly above. If the level does not hold then another strong push can be expected which would reach down toward the 1.05 level. It's important to look for triggers on the lower timeframes and if they don't fire off then stand aside and look for a move beneath the trend line to establish new short positions.
USDJPY outlook for a longSupport at 107.830 (thick red line) seems to be a buy signal for most, although there is strong support coming from 2012 (purple line) which was tested in June 2016, twice in August 2016 and twice again in September 2016 which all failed to break. Ill be placing buys when UJ touches the purple support line, with SL below the thick red line - personally don't think 107.830 level will be reached so a good setup for a long

USD/JPY drops to 111.30USD/JPY drops to 111.30
Due to fears of a large reduction in foreign Dollar asset purchases, the American currency fell by 0.86% against the Yen just in couple of hours. The plunge was stopped only after the exchange rate reached support area located around the weekly S2 and the monthly S1. Accordingly, today bulls are expected to try to restore lost positions. Most probably the surge will last until the pair reaches strong support-turned-resistance at the 112.10 level, which is additionally backed up by the 55-hour SMA. In case of better than expected US PPI data release, the soar might extend to the 112.60 mark, which represents location of the monthly PP together with the 100- and 200-hour SMAs. From the opposite side, the new decline is likely to be halted by the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level at 111.17 the three-month low at 110.84.
Short term long UJAfter such a big drop we need a correction before continuation of our down trend. Therefor I believe we gonna see that correction now.
I'll hold my position with a really tight SL for now.
First target is the S zone and 38.2 fib if we see a break I'll focus on our second target at 61.8 fib.

USD/JPY tries to break from triangle USD/JPY tries to break from triangle
Despite release of mostly negative employment data on Friday, the currency exchange rate managed to break through 50% Fibonacci retracement level located at 113.00 and the upper-boundary of one-month long symmetrical triangle. As the pair has crossed already most of the technical indicators, the surge is expected to conitnue. On the other hand, in order to continue moving towards the weekly R1, the rate needs to break through the upper trend-line of a larger symmetrical triangle. In smaller perspective this pattern might halt the soar of the buck. However, in monthly perspective, it is still expected to continue heading upwards, thus trying to reach the boundayr of a one-year long dominant descending channel.
USD/JPY heads down to test 112.50USD/JPY heads down to test 112.50
In early hours of this trading session the buck stopped the surge and bounced off from the 112.79 level. In essence, this turning point simultaneously represents the second reaction high of a two unconfirmed descending channels. As the northern side is additionally secured by the weekly and monthly PP as well as the slipping 200-hour SMA, the Yen is expected to resume the rally against the Dollar tending to reach the 112.13 mark by the end of the week. However, this scenario might be altered due to release of information on the American labour market. In that case the currency rate might end the week near the psychological 113.00 level.
USDJPY bouncing nicely off strong support
USDJPY is seeing major support at 112.02 (61.8% Fibonacci retracement, horizontal swing low support, 100% Fibonacci extension) and we could possibly look to buy on dips above this major support level for a push up to 113.62 resistance (Fibonacci extension, horizontal swing high resistance). Our next major level of support is at 111.34 (Fibonacci retracement, below strong price action).
Stochastic (34,5,3) is seeing major support above 2.9% where a corresponding bounce could occur.
