USDJPY – channel, flag & pivot resistance all align at key 102 level

The trendless market continues as depicted by the still tightening RSI range. Last week’s bullish hammer reversal and follow through as RSI bounced off the 40 zone was a minor bear trap and dampened our bearish outlook. The wave count is not clear but the recent fall from 103.02 was a corrective, 3-wave affair and that leaves us waiting for another new low within this large wave-[4] correction. (daily) S/t, the latest retracement at 102 has contained upside and represents key resistance. Prices are testing the underside of Thursday’s upchannel and the top of a possible bull flag; all of this channel resistance aligns near 102. Support is the pivot lows at 101.73 for a tight 102.00/101.73 near-term range. (hourly) Conviction: Med Levels: Support – 101.73, 101.60, 101.40 Resistance – 102.00, 102.12, 102.36
