Technical analysis

The dollar versus yen pair is back to fluctuate around the 107.68 level, and we notice that the stochastic indicator significantly loses its positive momentum to approach the overbought areas, to form a negative incentive that we expect to contribute to pushing the price down again, where our next negative target is located at 106.44.

Therefore, we believe that opportunities are open for the upcoming sessions, noting that consolidation above 107.68 will stop the suggested bearish bias and push the price for gains that start at 108.40 and extend to 109.22.

The expected trading range for today is between 106.80 support and 108.20 resistance.

Expected trend for today: bearish.
