An uneventful Friday session kept focus on the pair's Thursday range, after
USD/JPY inched higher to the week's best levels, helping take out resistance at
106.41. The 106.74 level is now within range and a climb through here would open
the 106.98 key resistance and the 50-dma at 107.30. A 106.98 break would also
represent an important bullish development. Until then, the failure around
107.00 this month maintains a bearish threat. A break of 105.59 would reopen
104.46. Clearance of the latter targets 104.00 and 103.66.
