USD/JPY Takes a Shot at our 1st Tier Uptrend Line

By Fast Brokers – The USD/JPY made a concerted effort to get back above our 1st tier uptrend line in a bid to return to a safety zone.  The USD/JPY showed some upward mobility, exercising its positive correlation with U.S. equities.  The S&P futures logged considerable gains, and the USD/JPY was inclined to follow suit, tagging along with the concept of a global economic recovery.  However, the currency pair was batted away by our 1st tier uptrend line due to insufficient volume.  Regardless, it’s an encouraging progression since the USD/JPY was recently flirting with the idea of retesting the highly psychological 90 level.  The USD/JPY is hovering back around our 1st tier downtrend line with the S&P futures trying to add onto yesterday’s gains.  Should the S&P follow with its technical upside breakout, the USD/JPY should edge back into its uptrend.  However, the USD/JPY is still trading in a dangerous zone and investors should exercise a bit of caution for the immediate-term.
