USD/JPY daily chart

 
USD/JPY is in a bear trend below the main daily simple moving averages (DSMAs). The market has been choppy in the last month of trading, coiling around the 106.00 figure. Despite broad-based USD weakness USD/JPY is firm as the demand for Yen is weak. The risk-on sentiment with US indices in the green is helping USD/JPY to stay afloat.
