This morning the dollar is trading quietly against the yen, with movements at the lower half of yesterday's range for now.
On the 1 hour chart the upward channel has turned into range trading, while on the 3 hour chart the upward channel is vanishing. Break above yesterday's top and nearest resistance 119.98 would encourage further recovery of the dollar.
