The overnight range was 155.17 - 155.99, Asia is currently trading around 155.95. The pair bounced strongly off the 155.00 area yesterday and remained very well supported on dips. The move was supported by the sell-off in treasuries which has seen yields move quite a bit higher as we approach the FOMC. The market is pricing in the fact that the Yen move looks likely to force the BOJ into action in December. This has stalled the upward momentum and could keep it contained in the short-term but I suspect the market will still look for opportunities to express a long USD at the right levels. Technically USD/JPY is still in an uptrend, the first big support back toward the 153-155 area has held on very well upon first examination. In today's Asian session the market will be watching to see if there is any follow-through on this price action. First support on the day is back toward 155.30-50, looking for a test of 156.20-40, a break of which would open up a move back to the 157.00 area.
