Talking Points
- USD/JPY Technical Strategy: Pending long
- Shooting Star on the daily plays out in extended declines
- Emergence of bullish reversal signal to open advance on 102.70
USD/JPY’s recent dip developed shortly after the Shooting Star formation on the daily as noted in recent candlesticks reports. However, the pair may now face a short-term bounce with buyers acting to support prices at the 101.20 mark in intraday trade. Confirmation from a bullish reversal candlestick formation would support long positions with a potential target of 102.70.
