Daily Forex Analysis – May 24, 2012

USDJPY Analysis.
USDJPY moves sideways in a range between 78.99 and 80.61. As long as 80.61 key resistance holds, the price action in the range is treated as consolidation of the downtrend from 84.17 (Mar 15 high), and one more fall towards 78.00 is still possible after consolidation. However, a break above 80.61 will indicate that the downward movement from 84.17 has completed at 78.99 already, and the target for the following upward movement would be at 83.00 area.
