FxWirePro: USD/JPY pauses downside at 38.2% Fibo, close below weekly cloud top to see further weakness

  • USD/JPY is slightly bid on the day as the pair benefits from risk reversal early on in the Asian session.
     
  • The pair has edged higher from fresh 4-month lows at 110.73 hit on Wednesday's trade.
     
  • Downside seems to have paused at 38.2% Fib retracement of 98.78 to 118.662 rally.
     
  • Weekly cloud at 111.27 is another strong support for the pair. 
     
  • Close below weekly cloud top at 111.27 could see an extension of weakness next week.

Support levels - 111.27 (Weekly cloud top), 111.07 (38.2% Fib), 110.73 (March 22 low)

Resistance levels - 111.88 (5-DMA), 112, 112.86 (March 21 high)
