USDJPY TECHS: Monitoring Support At The 50-Day EMA

Dec-15 19:30
  • RES 4: 158.87 High Jan 10 and a key resistance
  • RES 3: 158.29 2.618 projection of the Sep 17 - 26 - Oct 1 price swing
  • RES 2: 158.00 Round number resistance 
  • RES 1: 156.95/157.89 High Dec 9 / High Nov 20 and bull trigger 
  • PRICE: 155.28 @ 16:34 GMT Dec 15
  • SUP 1: 154.35 Low Dec 5
  • SUP 2: 153.95 50-day EMA and a key support area  
  • SUP 3: 152.82 Low Nov 7 
  • SUP 4: 151.54 Low Oct 29 

The trend condition in USDJPY is bullish and the move down between Nov 20 - Dec 5 appears to have been a correction. Furthermore, the recovery from the Dec 5 low highlights the end of the corrective phase. However, the latest retracement exposes support at 153.95, the 50-day EMA. A clear breach of this average would undermine the bull theme and signal scope for a deeper retracement. For bulls, a resumption of gains would open 158.00.
