USD/JPY is set to gold support at 113.87/76. With a major base in place, analysts at Credit Suisse look for an eventual clear break above key resistance at 114.73/92 for strength to the long-term downtrend from April 1990 at 117.00/01.
Support at 113.87/76 to hold
“With a major base in place, we continue to look for a clear and sustained break in due course above key resistance at 114.70/92. This should then see a resumption of the core uptrend with resistance then seen next at 115.51 and then the long-term downtrend from April 1990 at 117.00/01.”
“Whilst we would expect a fresh phase of consolidation to emerge from the 117.00 level, big picture we continue to look for an eventual move to 122.90/123.00.”
“Near-term support from the 13-day exponential average and price support at 113.87/76 ideally still holds. A break would warn of a retreat back to 112.76/40, but with fresh buyers expected here.”
