JPY bulls are unstoppable

Japanese stock market is in deep decline as investors grieve over disappointing industrial production and household spending data and scale back their BOJ easing expectations. No wonder that USD/JPY is depressed. The pair aims at yesterday lows of 101.42 and has a good chance to finish the week in red after a feeble rebound. From the technical point of view, the strong intraday demand is seen at 101.40 and followed by bids on approach to 101.05/00, though these later levels will be hard to reach unless US published horrible data today. The initial resistance is seen at 101.80. This level is likely to stop the bullish profit taking ahead of the weekend.
