FxWirePro: Good support for USD/JPY at 120 levels, weakness only on breaks below

Data released earlier on Monday was yen-bearish, showed that Japanese output and retail sales fell more than forecast, but market's reaction was largely muted.

  • USD/JPY better bid in thin holiday trade, small rally took the major from 120.24 to score 120.55, but then was rejected at highs and is currently at 120.37
     
  • Price action has breached strong support at 120.70 on Thursday's trade and remains below the cloud, but daily Stochs are at oversold levels and are on the verge of a bullish crossover 
     
  • Good support building ahead of psychological 120.00 level, 120.05 Friday's low, 120.01 (Oct 28 low), breaks below can take the pair to 119 levels
     
  • Immediate resistance on the upside is located at 120.70 (Trendline) and further ahead at 120.91 (Cloud Base)

Recommendation: Good to buy dips around 120.20, SL: 119.85, TP1: 120.75, TP2: 120.90.

Resistance Levels:

  • R1: 120.80 (Trendline)
  • R2: 120.91 (Cloud Base)
  • R3: 120.98 (Dec 24 high)
