USDJPY Analysis.
USDJPY had formed a cycle bottom at 78.46 on 4-hour chart. Range trading between 78.46 and 80.00 would likely be seen in a couple of days. As long as 80.00 resistance holds, downtrend from 81.47 could be expected to resume, and one more fall to 77.50 area is still possible. However, a break above 80.00 will indicate that the longer term downtrend from 85.51 has completed, then the following upward move could bring price to 83.00 zone.
