FxWirePro: USD/JPY resumes downside after failing to break above 111.72

  • USD/JPY declined on Wednesday as investors sold riskier assets and rushed towards safe havens, such as gold and Japanese yen, on concerns about U.S. President Donald Trump's economic growth agenda.
     
  • Investors became jittery overnight on worries about how quickly Trump could implement pro-growth policies, and unwound bullish bets on the U.S. dollar. That hit risk sentiment globally, hurting stocks, commodities and currencies.
     
  • Further upside for this pair is expected to be limited as resistance at 112.64 is set to limit upside and bring decline towards lower levels.
     
  • To the upside, immediate resistance can be seen at 111.72, a break above this level would take the pair towards next resistance level at 112.64.
     
  • To the downside immediate support can be seen at 111.00, a break below this level will open the gates towards next level at 110.18.
