Yen advances against USD and EUR
FXstreet.com (Buenos Aires) - The Japanese currency is on recovery against its major rivals this Thursday, with the EUR/JPY reaching a daily low of 142.87, practically filling the gap left on December 25th, and the USD/JPY sinking below 105.00 albeit recovering from a daily low of 104.65. US yields surging to multi-years highs above 3.0% along with a pullback in US indexes are the main drivers for latest yen gains.
One gap filled, one to go
Intraday negative, the USD/JPY flirts back with the 105.00 level leaving the long term view little changed: the impressive recovery seen over 2013 stalled so far at 105.43, and with price barely 50 pips below seems too early to talk about reversals. Above mentioned high, next resistance stands at 106.10, where the pair presents several daily highs and lows between July and August from 2008, while immediate short term support, below mentioned daily low stands around 104.25, an unfilled gap also from Dec 25th opening.
As for the EUR/JPY the pair bounced back strongly above the 143.00 mark, currently around 143.40. Below 142.87 next support comes at the 142.00 figure, also intraday lows from past week, while resistances stand at 143.70 and 144.40, Dec 31st daily low.
