USDJPY continues to trade either side of the 108.00 level, keeping the

short-term uptrend in tact for now. Next resistance is seen at 108.38, the high

of Jul 16, a break here would be an encouraging sign for bulls and pave the way

for a climb towards the key 108.99 resistance. Momentum studies are

constructive, reinforcing the underlying bullish theme. On the downside, losses

below 107.21 would offset the bullish outlook and instead expose support at

106.78.
