FOREX: USDJPY - PATIENCE

The USDJPY made some headlines but has yet to confirm a positive shift in sentiment and remains in a NEUTRAL DIGESTIVE technical state. Key off the 8987 Inflection Pivot for an indication of the session bias. This is the low point for any healthy pull-back. Above here the currency maintains a positive TRANSITIONAL tone, so be cautious buying into any early excitement. A breach of the 9117 resistance pivot will signal a test of the 9188-9182 resistance . If the rally is going to stall it will here. If not the recent highs at 9379 will be put to the test.

A failure from 8987 is a sign of weakness however a break below 8956 is needed to confirm a resumption of the negative momentum targeting 8861 on any turn for the worse. 8737 is the extended target for any new move south.
