USD/JPY Open 78.67 High 78.81 Low 78.37 Close 78.57

On Thursday Dollar/Yen traded within narrow 40 pip range. The currency couple depreciated from 78.81 to 78.37 yesterday, not matching the negative money flow sentiment at under -16%, closing the day at 78.57. This morning the Dollar is trading quietly against the Yen, with movements within yesterday's range for now.

On the 1 hour chart new downward channel is emerging, while on the 3 hour chart the downward channel is making renewal attempts. Break above yesterday's top and nearest resistance 78.81 would encourage further recovery of the Dollar. Immediate support is yesterday's bottom at 78.37, and consistent break bellow it could strengthen the Yen further down towards next target 77.50.

There are no major economic events for Japan today.
