JPY Mid-day Analysis

The Yen has clearly rejected a noted range down extension on the charts and some of the recovery actionis the result of a positive Japanese leading indicator reading for July. The initial washout in the Yen was probablythe result of aggressive easing dialogue from Japanese officials overnight and the capacity to build aconsolidation zone above 94.91 could eventually provide the bull camp with some confidence. In the end, a fresh6 year low in the Yen leaves the bear camp with a technical edge.
