Focus Chart of the Day: USD/JPY
USD/JPY has come under steady pressure since failing at the top end of a rising trend channel near 104.00 last week. The exchange rate is now closing in on key support at 101.35, which is the 4th square root relationship of the year’s high. This level has proven to be formidable over the past couple of months as the exchange rate has only settled below it once since early February. Our big concern is that the failure around the start of the year at the long-term Fibonacci confluence in the 105.50 area was just the start of a more important and complex corrective process. Weakness below 101.35 and 100.75 in the days would be a very strong sign that a new leg lower of this process is unfolding. A minor cycle turn window is seen today, but the next truly important cyclical period looks to be the second half of this week. A high during this time would be a very negative development. Only strength back over 103.35 relieves the immediate downside pressure.
