  • SUP 4: 104.19 Low Jul 31 and a major support

USDJPY remains under pressure, with the original Asia-Pac session sell-off extending well into US hours. This opens further the gap with 107.05, Aug 13 high as prices fell through key support at 105.30, Aug 6 low. This undermines the recent recovery and signals scope for a deeper pullback towards 104.19, Jul 31 low. Key resistance has been defined at 107.05 where a break is required to reinstate bullish confidence.
