- Harami Candlestick Fails To Find Confirmation

USD/JPY is at a critical juncture near the 114.60 mark after traders looked past a bearish candlestick pattern on the daily. With reversal signals now lacking a pullback is questionable and a more convincing close beyond the upside barrier may open further gains. The next definitive target to work with is offered by the November 2007 high near 115.90.
