Daily Analysis
Choppy consolidation to continue

Resistance
103.10 - 50% r of 105.45-100.76
102.74 - Tue's high
102.47 - Wed's high

100.76 - Feb 06 low


. USD/JPY - 102.32... The greenback met heavy selling pressure in Asia due to selloff in Nikkei index together with release of poor CH manf. PMI n tumbled to session low at 101.67 in European morning. However, dlr pared its losses n rose to 102.43 in NY morning after data showed U.S. jobless claims fell.

. Looking at the hourly n daily charts, despite y'day's initial retreat to 101.67, subsequent rebound suggests choppy consolidation abv Feb's 10-wk low at 100.76 wud continue with mild upside bias wud be seen, abv Tue's high at 102.74 is needed to confirm erratic decline fm Jan's 5-year peak at 105.45 has formed a low there n bring stronger correction twds 103.10, being the 'natural' 50% r of the abovementioned fall, a break there wud extend marginally but reckon daily res at 103.45 (Jan 28 peak) shud remain intact n yield decline early next week.

On the downside, only below 101.38 wud signal recovery fm 100.76 is over instead n turn outlook bearish for a re-test of said low.

. Today, in view of abv analysis n as dlr continues to edge higher at Asian open, buying on intra-day dips is the way to go with a stop placed below y'day's low at 101.67, break wud abort bullishness on the buck, risk 101.38.

AceTraderFx Feb 26: Daily Recommendations on Major - USD/JPY

DAILY OUTLOOK ON USD/JPY - 102.19
Update Time: 25 Feb 2014 23:27 GMT

Yesterday's weakness to 102.01 suggests erratic rise from Feb's 10-week trough at 100.76 has made a temp. top at 102.83 last Fri and as long as res area 102.63 /68 holds, downside bias remains for a stronger re- tracement to 101.67 but sup 101.38 would hold.
