USD/JPY
USD/JPY 1/23/2011 4H Chart

- The 4H chart for USD/JPY shows a rally from the 82.50 level to start the week in an engulfing pattern and a follow through candle that so far is showing bullish continuation. Still we need to close above 83.10 to confirm a bullish attempt towards 84.50.
- The bullish signal actually came last week with a strong rally the has been retraced almost 50%. This is seen more clearly in the 1H chart.

USD/JPY Chart 1H 1/23/2011

- The USD/JPY chart shows the market bullish.
- One clue is that the RSI remains above 40. A break above 60 is a bullish continuation signal. The candlestick action started with a strong bullish engulfing candle with a followup that is now looking to retest 83.10 in the near-tearm. With a break, it is looking towards the 84.50 level.
- Another clue is the break above the declining channel resistance and the moving averages.
