Fxwirepro: Usd/jpy Neutral in the Near-Term, Scope for Downward Resumption

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J

• USD/JPY declined on Monday as the dollar took a hit from geopolitical fears following North Korea’s missile test and by a batch of weak data.
   
• The greenback was pinned back after North Korea said it had successfully tested a new mid-to-long range missile able to carry a large-scale nuclear warhead.
   
• The news triggered an uptick in demand for safe-haven securities like gold and Japanese yen.
   
• Short rally in this pair should be viewed as selling opportunities, as US dollar is weaker against the Japanese yen in short term.
   
• To the upside, the strong resistance can be seen at 114.08, a break above this level would take the pair towards next resistance level at 114.39.
   
• To the downside immediate support can be seen at 113.09, a break below this level will open the gates towards next level at 112.81.
