USD/JPY broke free and stopped dead just above 102.00
FXStreet (Moscow) - USD/JPY stopped to take a breath after a good rally above 102.00 on Tuesday. The pair is consolidating around its opening level of 102.10, waiting for new triggers
Out of the range?
USD/JPY bulls have reached their immediate goal and now have nowhere to hurry. The short-term technical picture remains bullish as long as the pair trades above 102.00 support level (former resistance). Considering and event-packed US session, that starts with July ADP private payrolls report, followed by 2Q GDP and FOMC meeting, during European hours USD/JPY is a pure technical play. Upside attempts might be limited by mid-sized offers at 102.20, though if this resistance is broken, the next resistance of 102.35/40 will come into play. The downside is likely to be capped by 102.00/101.90.
