Daily Forex Analysis – March 8, 2012

USDJPY Analysis.
USDJPY remains in uptrend from 76.02, the price action in the trading range between 80.01 and 81.86 is treated as consolidation of the uptrend. Lengthier sideways movement in the range would likely be seen over the next several days. As long as 80.01 support holds, we’d expect uptrend to resume, and another rise towards 85.00 is still possible after consolidation, and a break above 81.86 could signal resumption of the uptrend.
