Having traded at the lower end of the recent range early Monday, USDJPY rallied sharply into the London close, topping the 20-day EMA in the process. This confirms the underlying bullish view based on the Nov 9 price action. In candle terms, the price pattern on that day was a bullish engulfing line signalling a potential reversal. A break of 105.68, Nov 11 high would reinforce this set-up and t expose the early October highs of 106.11. Key support is at 103.18, Nov 6 low. A breach negates the candle pattern and resume the downtrend.
