“The Japanese Yen strengthened early Asia, driving the USD/JPY down to 124.98, on the back of Japanese GDP revision for the first quarter, up from 2.4% to 3.9%. Compared to the previous quarter, the economy grew 1% against an initial estimate of 0.6%. The pair however, recovered the 125.00 level, although remains confined to a tight range around 125.30.”
“Technically, the 1 hour chart shows that the technical indicators head sharply lower below their mid-lines, supporting additional declines, albeit the price develops well above its moving averages that slowly try to catch up after Friday's sharp advance.”
“In the 4 hours chart, the moving averages also maintain their bullish slopes well below the current price, whilst the technical indicators are losing upward strength well above their mid-lines, keeping the downside limited.”
“Support levels: 125.10 124.70 124.30”
“Resistance levels: 125.45 125.85 126.10”
