  • The dollar index, which tracks the U.S. unit against a basket of six major peers, shed about 0.2 percent to 96.753 
     
  • Against the Yen, it fell to as low as 120.26, before recovering slightly to currently trade at 120.33
     
  • Strong resistance for USD/JPY is located at 120.68 (55 EMA, cloud top), pair was rejected at 120.58 earlier in the Asian session
     
  • supports are seen at 20 DMA by 120.15, breaks below could take the pair to next support at 119.62 (Oct 22nd low)
     
  • Daily Techs point North, RSI is biased lower and Stochs show bearish crossover from overbought levels
