USD JPY Needs Strong Equities Market to Trigger Breakout Rally

The stronger stock market overnight should help support the USD JPY early today. Yesterday's strong close has the market in a position to challenge last week’s swing top at 108.38 to resume the uptrend.  The pair of tops at 108.42 and 108.59 is still key resistance point.  A break out through these prices should attract new buyers who drive the market to a major 50% price at 109.94.

The inability to rally through the tops may lead to traders throwing in the towel at current levels. If this occurs, then look for sellers to hit this market hard on a move through 107.27 - 107.26.  If this area fails, then look for a break to 106.07 to 105.52.
