Buyers keep the pressure on sellers
The USDJPY is trading at the day's highs (making a new high as I type) after the NY session correction could not get below the 110.278 area (or rising 100 bar MA on the 5-minute chart). In a earlier post, I commented that the level needed to break to tilt the bias more to the downside. That could not be done. Buyers remain in control.
The corrective low for the NY session could only reach 110.31.
Buyers remain in control.
