DAILY MARKET OUTLOOK USD/JPY- 102.40

Update Time: 25 Apr 2014 01:44 GMT

Despite yesterday's retreat to 102.09, subsequent rebound in Asian morning suggests dollar's choppy consolidation below Wednesday's high at 102.73 is likely to continue with neutral bias. A breach of 102.73 would confirm erratic up move from April's low at 101.32 has once again resumed and extend gain to 103.06, however, loss of momentum should cap price at 103.39/40 today.

On the downside, a breach of 101.86 would indicate the recovery from 101.32 is over instead and weakness to 101.50 and 101.32 would follow.

Update Time: 29 Apr 2014 00:42 GMT

As U.S. dollar rebounded after finding renewed buying at 102.04 on Monday in part due to renewed cross selling in Japanese yen, suggesting the pullback from last Tuesday's high at 102.73 has possibly ended at 101.96 last Friday and a breach of aforesaid resistance would confirm up move from April's low at 101.32 to retrace decline from April's 2-1/2 month peak at 104.13 has resumed, yield further gain to 103.06 (61.8% r).

On the downside, only a breach of 101.86/91 support area would prolong recent choppy consolidation and may risk weakness to 101.50 but 101.32 support would hold initially.
