FOREX: USDJPY Also Extends Session Highs, Targets Move to 155.27

FOREX
  • Persistent greenback strength continues to permeate global currency markets, and the yield sensitive Yen remains under substantial pressure, weakness that is only outpaced by the Euro on Wednesday.
  • The USDJPY trend needle continues to point north and today’s rally reinforces current conditions. The pair has extended above 153.88, the Oct 28 high, to highlight a resumption of the uptrend.
  • A continuation higher would open 155.27, a Fibonacci projection. This level matches closely to the July 30 high of 155.22, a level traded one day prior to the BOJ hike and ensuing sharp move lower for USDJPY across early August.
