USDJPY 100 hour moving average at 109.048.

At the low, the pair tested the 100 hour moving average of 109.049 currently. The price currently trades at 109.15 as traders take profit against the moving average level. Recall from yesterday, the price did fall below the 100 hour moving average as well but quickly reversed. Today, the pattern is the same (just at a higher level).

Until then, the traders are happy to lean against the area and look for a bounce.
