USD/JPY Extends Decline To 95.00 Support Then Recovers

USD/JPY (daily chart) extended its decline substantially down to key support around the 95.00 level on Friday, before rebounding and recovering that loss intra-day. The current bearish correction from the long-term high of 103.72 in late May down to Friday’s 95.00-area low can be considered the decline of the greatest magnitude since the steep bullish trend began in October of last year. In the process, the price has broken down cleanly below a parallel uptrend channel, extending back to the November of 2012 and has just established a new two-month low.

Because Friday’s intra-day recovery has been substantial, USD/JPY could be moving in the direction of a broader recovery back up towards 100.00 and then 103.00. This view would be strengthened on a strong push above 98.00. To the downside, the key level to watch has been established at 95.00 support, a breakdown below which could signal a significantly larger correction targeting potential downside around 92.00 and then 90.00.
