The pair dollar/yen has a tendency to decrease. The pair is under pressure from the market deteriorating relationship towards the dollar amid the greater-than-expected US retail sales decrease in January (0.8% vs. 0.5%), a larger-than-expected number of US jobless claims and a smaller-than-expected inventories growth in December. The pressure is added and from the US Treasury bond yields and the Japanese exporters decrease and according to the Bank of Japan, the new incentives will be counterproductive and the further yen decline will have a negative impact on the consumer sentiment.
Trading recommendations
The support is at the level of 117.95-118.15. After the level breakthrough the pair may enter the range near 116.95-117.15 and 116.05-116.25. The resistance is at the levels of 119.25-119.45 and 120.20-120.40. These levels break may lead to the growth towards 121.30-121.50.
