DAILY MARKET OUTLOOK on Major
Update Time: 18 Feb 2020 09:30GMT

USD/JPY - 109.69
Dollar's retreat from yesterday's high at 109.96 to 109.66 (Asia) suggests choppy trading below Jan's 7-1/2 month top at 110.28 would continue with mild downside bias and marginal weakness is likely to be seen, however, support at 109.54 should contain current fall and yield another rise later. Above last Wednesday's high at 110.13 would bring re-test of 110.28, break, 110.50/55 later.

On the downside, only below 109.54 would indicate a temporary top has been made and risk would increase for stronger weakness to 109.26/30.

Data to be released later today:
UK claimant count, ILO unemployment rate, employment change, average weekly earnings, Germany ZEW economic sentiment, ZEW current conditions, EU ZEW survey expectations.

USD/JPY - 110.09
Dollar's re-test of last Wednesday's 3-week high at 110.13 in Europe today suggests price would head towards January's 7-1/2 month top at 110.28 after consolidation, where break would extend medium term upmove from August's 33-month trough at 104.46 to 110.67/70, however, reckon 111.00/05 should remain intact and bring correction.

On the downside, only below 109.63/66 would risk weakness to 109.54, then 109.26/31.

There is a slew of U.S. data to be released today including PPI at 13:30GMT along with several speeches from Federal Reserve officials but market focus will remain on the release of FOMC minutes at 19:00GMT.

USD/JPY - 111.67
Dollar's spectacular rally to a 9-1/2 month high at 111.58 in New York yesterday due to active cross-selling in yen and intra-day rise above this level suggests medium trend upmove from 2019 August's 33-month trough at 104.46 would head to 111.95/00 after consolidation, where break would extend to 112.39 (April) before prospect of correction due to loss of momentum.

USD/JPY - 111.69
Although dollar has eased after rally from Wednesday's 109.86 low to a near 10-month high at 112.22 yesterday and range trading would be seen, as long as 121.12 holds, upside bias remains and above 112.22 would extend medium term upmove from August's 33-month trough at 104.46 towards 112.39, break needed to extend to 112.60/65.

On the downside, only below 111.12 would risk stronger retracement to 110.90/95, then 110.65/70.

Update Time: 24 Feb 2020 09:30GMT

USD/JPY - 111.48
Although dollar's initial weakness to 111.22 in New Zealand due to safe-haven yen buying suggests recent uptrend has made a temporary top at last Thursday's 9-1/2 month peak at 112.22, intra-day rebound has retained bullish bias and above 112.03 would encourage for subsequent headway towards 2019 top at 112.39.

Only a daily close below 111.12 sup dampens bullish outlook and risks stronger retracement to 110.80/90 before prospect of recovery.

Dollar's retreat from yesterday's high at 110.70 to 109.98 in Asia today suggests recovery from Tuesday's low at 109.90 has ended and consolidation with downside bias remains for a re-test of said support, break would extend decline from February's 9-1/2 month peak at 122.22 to 109.63 but 109.54 should remain intact due to loss of momentum.
