USD/JPY: 125.00 holds, but for how long?
FXStreet (Córdoba) - USD/JPY came under renewed pressure at the beginning of the New York session and revisited daily lows, as the greenback continues to underperform across the board.
The dollar weakened broadly on Monday and trimmed post payrolls gains following a report, later denied, that US President Barack Obama had expressed concern over USD strength.
USD/JPY continues to back away from a high of 125.85 but the 124.98 level has contained the downside in every attempt. At time of writing, the pair is trading at 125.10, still down 0.34% on the day.
There is no first-tier data scheduled for the US session, with main attention on comments coming from the G7 summit.
USD/JPY levels to watch
On the downside, immediate supports are seen at 124.98 (daily low), 124.33 (Jun 5 low) and 124.00 (psychological level). On the upside, resistances could be found at 125.67 (daily high) and 125.85 (13-year peak Jun 5) ahead of 126.00 (psychological level).
