Charts Created using Marketscope – Prepared by Kristian Kerr

  • USD/JPY fell to its lowest level in over a month this past week

  • A weakening volume trend during this recent decline suggests the recent action is only a correction within a broader uptrend

  • A close under 118.00 on above average volume would turn us negative on the exchange rate
