Break here is required to resume short-term bulls off 1.3000 base, with lift above 1.3400 barrier to open 1.3434, 0% retracement of med-term 1.4246/1.3000 descend and key resistance at 1.3485, end of Feb double-top. Daily studies remain supportive, as the pair’s weekly close above broken main bear-trendline, sees potential for further gains. Overnight’s low at 1.3330 offers initial support, along with hourly 55 day EMA, ahead of next one at 1.3300 zone, where last Friday’s lows lie, along with main bull trendline, drawn off 1.3000 base. Only loss of higher platform and near-term range floor at 1.3250 zone, would weaken the structure.

USD/JPY
The pair recovers recent losses, after brief break below key short-term support zone at 82.95/85, bottomed 81.82 last Friday and subsequent bounce, along with gap higher today’s opening, regain important barrier at 83.00, hitting 83.29 high. Reversal from here needs to hold above 55 day EMA at 82.75, to keep the near-term structure intact for possible fresh attempt higher and retest of key near-term barriers at 83.30/38, above which to confirm bottom at 81.82 and avert immediate risk of further easing. However, studies on the daily chart remain negative and see risk of fresh weakness, especially if 83.38 stays intact. Break below 81.82, last Friday’s low, to expose Fib 38.2% at 81.05.

Res: 83.30, 83.38, 83.82, 84.00
