Talking Points:
- USD/JPY Technical Strategy: Flat
- Support: 115.37, 113.85, 112.77
- Resistance: 116.30, 117.82, 119.05
The US Dollar may be preparing to turn lower against the Japanese Yen as prices show a Harami candlestick pattern coupled with negative RSI diverge. A daily close below the 14.6% Fibonacci retracement at 114.50 exposes the 23.6% level at 113.52. Alternatively, a turn above the 23.6% Fib expansion at 116.30 clears the way for a challenge of the 38.2% threshold at 117.82.
A Harami formation is not a sufficient-enough reversal signal by itself without further confirmation. With that in mind, we will remain on the sidelines for the time being until a more actionable opportunity to establish a short position presents itself.
