Good afternoon team,

We are taking a look at the USDJPY. Generally speaking gold and the USDJPY have an inverse correlation. We are expecting gold prices to decline over the coming days for a larger retracement which suggests the USDJPY could move in the opposite direction. Looking at the USDJPY this ticks the boxes from a technical perspective.

This is also the 61% FIB retracement, which is a key buying zone. We are now looking to go long on the pair expecting a move towards the 106.60 level and possibly 107.30.
