USD/JPY Mid-Day Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 91.80; (P) 92.44; (R1) 93.09; More.

As noted before, retreat from 93.62 should have completed at 91.75 already. Intraday bias is neutral for the moment. . Break of 93.62 will indicate that rise from 88.25 has resumed for 94.97 resistance. But we'd expect strong resistance from there to limit upside and bring another short term fall.
