Key quotes

“A clean break of the 106.00 support suggests that the USD/JPY is likely to remain depressed if it cannot reclaim that level. However, the pair is at the lower end of the tolerance range of the short-term implied valuation. This suggests some consolidation may be at hand.” 

“For now, the near-term target remains at 105.00/20, while the cap comes in at 106.00/20.”
