• USD/JPY Technical Strategy: Sidelines Preferred
• Bearish Engulfing Pattern Finds Confirmation
• Close Below 108.00 Floor May Open 107.00

USD/JPY is at a critical juncture as the confirmation of a Bearish Engulfing formation warns of a deeper setback for the pair. A close under the 108.00 floor would be required to open the next leg lower to the 107.00 barrier.

Bearish Engulfing Pattern Receives Confirmation


The four hour chart paints a less discouraging picture for the pair. A Harami candlestick pattern offered an early indication of an intraday rebound. While a Doji suggests some waning momentum a correction over the session ahead is made questionable by an absence of key reversal signals.
