Talking Points
- USD/JPY Technical Strategy: Sidelines Preferred
- Doji highlights indecision near 102.00 handle
- Range between 101.20 and 102.77 remains in play
The USD/JPY’s consolidation around the 102.00 handle has left little in the way of candlestick formations to signal which way the pair could eventually push. Signs of hesitation are made further evident by the Doji formation on the daily.
