Friday, April 8, 2016 1:37 PM UTC
- The USD/JPY pair is trading around the 108.60 levels, as the pair recovered some ground on Friday after Japans finance ministers warned against rapid yen rise.
- The pair reached a daily high of 109.10 after the release of US positive data, but retreated towards 108.68 as the pair ran out of strength.
- The pair remains under bears control unless until it trades below 110.00 psychological levels, therefore it is good to sell this pair on rallies.
- To the upside, the strong resistance can be seen at 109.93, a break above this level would take the pair all the way towards 110.00 levels.
- To the downside immediate support can be seen 108.36, a break below this level will take the pair to next level at 107.97.
