USD/JPY rallies expected to fail

Analyst teams at Commerzbank explained that the USD/JPY remained under pressure and neared the 93.78 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of the 2012-13 rise and then possibly the 50% retracement at 90.43. They do not expect to see near term rallies but were these to be seen they said that they should fail ahead of the short term downtrend at 98.23, to leave risks back on the downside. “Only an unexpected rise above the resistance line at 98.23 would neutralise our outlook and imply another test of the 103.74 May high.”
