FxWirePro: USD/JPY dips below lower range, bearish bias increases

  • USD/JPY declined sharply on Thursday as uncertainty steaming from tensions between the United States and North Korea prompted investors to seek safe haven assets such as Japanese yen.
     
  • In a war of words between Washington and Pyongyang that has unnerved regional powers and global investors, North Korea dismissed as a "load of nonsense" warnings by U.S. President Donald Trump that it would face "fire and fury" if it threatened the United States.
     
  • Japanese yen extended gains after data showed U.S. producer prices unexpectedly fell in July, recording their biggest drop in nearly a year and pointing to a further moderation in inflation that could delay a Federal Reserve interest rate increase.
     
  • The market was waiting for U.S. consumer inflation data on Friday that would offer more clues about future Fed decisions.
     
  • The pair remains under bears control unless until it trades below  109.94 resistance, therefore it is good to buy this pair on dips.
     
  • To the upside, the strong resistance can be seen at 109.60, a break above this level would take the pair towards next resistance level at 109.94.
     
  • To the downside immediate support can be seen at 109.28, a break below this level will open the gates towards next level at 109.00.
