USD/JPY: An Important Top In The Making With A Material Turn Lower; Where To Target? – Credit Suisse

The yen has been showing strong gains against the US dollar. What is the short-term technical outlook for the pair?

Here is their view, courtesy of eFXdata:

Credit Suisse discusses USD/JPY technical outlook and flags a short-term top pattern in the making.

We think the pressure is building steadily for a completion of an important top and more material turn lower, with support then seen next and initially at 105.20/14 – the 61.8% retracement of the March rally. Whilst this may hold at first,  we note the “measured top objective” would be seen set lower at 102.34,” CS ads.

“Resistance is seen at 106.65/70 initially, with the immediate risk seen lower whilst below 106.92. Above can reassert the sideways range again,” CS adds.
