As the risk-off continues across Asian Equities today, the question has become whether the last few days of the last week was a dead cat bounce in European Equities or not, whilst the US equities remained strong. This mixed sentiment may weigh USD into range. Geopolitics is still a focus for markets and we might see plenty of <a href=\"https:\/\/admiralmarkets.com\/analytics\/forex-calendar\">catalysts<\/a> this week that might re-ignite various concerns. Additionally, recent reports have indicated that the Bank of Japan (BOJ) may re-adjust their policy settings at their next meeting might weigh somehow on the JPY. If the BOJ mentions its monetary policy tightening &#8211; it might help in the USD\/JPY currency pair going lower.<\/p>\n<p>Technically, 111.90-112.00 is the mid-line between the <a href=\"https:\/\/admiralmarkets.com\/education\/articles\/forex-indicators\/pivot-point-trading-identifying-support-and-resistance-levels-with-a-pivot-point-indicator\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Admiral Daily Pivot<\/a> and Admiral Resistance so the rejection is possible. The target is the POC zone around 111.50 where the pair might bounce. However, a drop below the POC suggests a further drop in the <a href=\"https:\/\/admiralmarkets.com\/start-trading\/contract-specifications\/instrument\/usdjpy\">USD\/JPY<\/a> towards the S3 line around 111.35. If we see a bounce from the POC zone, the next targets could be 112.00 and 112.30.<\/p>\n<p>Short Pivot Lines &#8211; Daily <a href=\"https:\/\/admiralmarkets.com\/education\/articles\/forex-strategy\/support-and-resistance-indicators-with-a-trading-strategy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Support and Resistance<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Long Pivot Lines &#8211; Weekly Support and Resistance<\/p><div id=\"inves-1530606759\" class=\"inves-in-content inves-entity-placement\"><hr style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd;\">\r\n<div id=\"inpost_ads_header\">\r\n<p style=\"font-size:10px; float:left; color:#666;\">Free Reports:<\/p><\/div>\r\n<div id=\"inpost_ads\"> \r\n<p style=\"font-size:15px; float:left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/1ApBOV\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/investmacro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/graph_techs_PD.png\" align=\"left\" width=\"80\"  height=\"55\"\/><\/a>\r\n\t     <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/1ApBOV\"><b><u>Get Our Free Metatrader 4 Indicators<\/u><\/b><\/a> - Put Our Free MetaTrader 4 Custom Indicators on your charts when you join our Weekly Newsletter<\/p><br><br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<p style=\"font-size:15px; float:left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/f3RrHX\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/investmacro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/cot_pie_80.png\" align=\"left\" width=\"80\"  height=\"55\"\/><\/a>\r\n\t    <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/f3RrHX\"><b><u>Get our Weekly Commitment of Traders Reports<\/u><\/b><\/a> - See where the biggest traders (Hedge Funds and Commercial Hedgers) are positioned in the futures markets on a weekly basis.<\/p><br><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<hr style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd;\">\r\n<br><\/div>\n<p>POC &#8211; POC &#8211; Point Of Confluence (The zone where we expect the price to react &#8211; aka the entry zone)<\/p>\n<p>This material does not contain and should not be construed as containing investment advice, investment recommendations, an offer of or solicitation for any transactions in financial instruments.
