USD/JPY has moved above its declining channel. The next resistances are given by 96.13 (20/03/2013 high) and 96.71 (12/03/2013 high). Hourly supports can be found at 94.91 (previous resistance) and 94.38 (previous resistance). • Even though the BoJ has not disappointed market expectations, the medium-term upside potential should be capped by the extreme short positioning in JPY. • USD/JPY has validated a long-term bullish trend reversal formation by breaking the strong resistance at 85.53 (06/04/2011 high). A move towards the key resistance at 101.45 (06/04/2009 high) is expected. (full story)
