Updated daily direction for USDJPY looks mixed as the pair is likely to consolidate above 135.35 (S1).
Looking ahead today, we are looking at 136.92 or 136.59 (R1) as important resistance level while to the downside, the daily low of 135.23 and 135.35 (S1) as key support levels. USDJPY need to break on either side to indicate a short-term bias. A close below 135.23 would indicate selling pressure.
