The $/YEN was again stronger last week but faces stiff resistance up ahead. We will be discussing the ongoing impact of this in the LIVE CHAT ROOM this week.
For a move to the upside we must now see this market hold above 109.21, on its way to retesting 109.94 before a pause. A strong break and close above this level could then see the $/YEN rally into 110.31, and if momentum is very strong we could see moves to 110.78 and 111.09.
If we cannot hold above 109.21, we could see a fast move lower into 108.31. A break below this level may result in a retest of 107.75 before a pause. Should we break lower however, we could see a strong move down into 107.36.

Gold continues to grind its way lower and we are now quickly approaching the all-important 1450 level.

If Gold cannot hold above 1450, we will look for a move back down into 1433. A strong break and close below this level could send this market lower into 1416, and if momentum is strong to the downside we cannot rule out a move lower into 1402.
