KRW: Bearish Harami Eyed

JPY

JPY/KRW charted a bearish Harami candlestick pattern yesterday, after struggling to take out the 23.6% recovery of the Aug 21 - Dec 4 sell-off at KRW10.5922, with the 50-DMA intersecting just above there at KRW10.6064, adding to the significance of that resistance area. The rate last deals -55 pips at KRW10.5405, with bulls looking for a break above the aforementioned levels. A clean break here would give them a green light for targeting the 38.2% retracement of the Aug 21 - Dec 4 sell-off/Dec 22 peak at KRW10.7221/10.7246. However, if selling pressure mounts further, bears would target Jan 4 low of KRW10.4921, followed by broken channel resistance/support at KRW10.0872, which cushioned losses into the end of 2020/in early 2021.
