Outlook for the USD/JPY

A week ago the US dollar plummeted against the Yen but then bounced strongly to the upside from 102.85. Nial Fuller, from Learn to Trade the Market continues to see the USD/JPY with a bullish bias, while the market remains above near-term key support at 102.85. “If the market were to rotate lower this week and test that support down near 102.85 we would be watching closely for price action buy signals to trade back in-line with the uptrend”, says Fuller.
