Technically, Eric Theoret, CFA, CMT FX Strategist at Scotiabank explained that USD/JPY short-term technicals are neutral-bullish who explained that the risks are shifting to the upside as we note the formation of a hammer around 120.00. "Signals are muted, conflicted, and provide little in terms of information about the near-term bias. We look to support at 119.20 and consider the potential for gains toward the 200 day MA at 120.89."
