FX.co ★ Bearish reversal in USDJPY.

Red lines- bullish channel

Black lines- Fibonacci retracements

USDJPY has broken out of the short-term bullish channel it was in since the end of July. Price has so far retraced nearly 38% of the rise since July's lows. Combined with the fact that USDJPY is also providing bearish RSI divergence warning signals on higher time frames, we believe that there are increased chances of a bigger pull back. USDJPY is expected to continue lower after this break down out of the bullish channel. We expect price to reach 140 and over the coming days, most probably next week, to continue lower towards 137-136. We believe an important high was made yesterday at 145.91. At least a pull back towards 137-136 is very likely as the RSI is turning lower from overbought levels and after bearish divergence signals.
