USD/JPY settled above 105.00 support
FXStreet (Moscow) - USD/JPY poked at 105.00 support and recovered towards the opening level of 105.06. The pair is very rangebound in Asia, poor Japanese GDP data has been ignored
Still aiming at 2014 highs
USD/JPY finished the week above psychologically important level of 105.00 The pair climbed as high as 105.70, but could not hold ground and retraced towards 105.08 as weaker than expected US Non-Farm Payroll numbers derailed USD rally. Japanese 2Q GDP numbers came out worse than expected and signaled that the economy is in dire state. JPY has weakened, but couldn’t break out from its narrow range limited by 105.22-104.99. The pivotal area 105.45/50 that includes 2014 high at 105.53 is still out of reach. Later during thee day USD/JPY movements are likely to be shaped by overall USD sentiments. Watch out for the signs of technical correction as USD is strongly overbought.
