What can we expect from USDJPY today?

USDJPY on Monday dropped -0.15% to 136.20. Price is above 9-Day EMA while Stochastic is rising but in overbought zone.

Updated daily direction for USDJPY looks mixed as the pair is likely to consolidate above 135.88 (S1).

Looking ahead today, to see upside interest, we prefer to look at price breakout of last daily high of 136.55 or trades above daily pivot 136.22 while to the downside, the daily low of 135.89 and 135.88 (S1) as key support levels. USDJPY need to break on either side to indicate a short-term bias. A close below 135.89 would indicate selling pressure.

For the week to-date, take note that USDJPY is mixed as the current price action remain uncertain due to trader indecisiveness.
