Yen strength keeps other currencies in the shade!

The yen climbed to the highest in more than a year against the euro on concern that a credit- market slump will lead the world into a recession, prompting investors to sell higher-yielding assets.

The dollar fell versus the yen before a U.S. government report that will probably show employment fell for an eighth month. The euro declined after Luxembourg's Finance Minister Jean-Claude Juncker said the currency is 'overvalued.' The yen also jumped to two-year highs against the Australian and New Zealand dollars as stocks and commodities slumped.

The following technical analysis gives us a detailed lookout on what is expected to happen to USD/JPY.

The buying point is at 107.60; based on a break of a strong Fibonacci level.

  • Previous resistance is the take profit at 108.59
  • Fibonacci 23.6% is the stop loss at 106.66

The selling point is at 106.72; based on a break of standard error channel lower line.

  • Previous support is the take profit at 105.66
  • Fibonacci 61.8% is the stop loss at 107.47

To strengthen our analysis; we use many other indicators, starting with MACD (Moving Averages convergence divergence); we notice the crossing of MACD line to the signal line and is pointing downwards. In order to find the power of the market, we use RSI (Relative Strength Index).With RSI; we can determine that the market is in a downtrend.

The momentum oscillator is very important to understand the strength of the market and as we see on the graph it is in a bearish direction. The Stochastic oscillator crosses %D line and is pointing downwards.
