USDJPY Analysis.
USDJPY continues its sideways movement in a range between 95.83 and 99.94. As long as 95.83 support holds, the price action in the range is treated as consolidation of the uptrend from 77.14 (Sep 13, 2012 low), one more rise towards 105.00 could be expected after consolidation, and a break above 99.94 could signal resumption of the uptrend. On the downside, a breakdown below 95.83 support will indicate that the uptrend from 77.14 had completed at 99.94 already, then pullback to 90.00 area could be seen to follow.
