USD/JPY Chart. Yesterday's Summary

Bears have shown some strength yesterday, but it was not enough to push the price down to 107.939. The only bear candle that had been formed was a candle that is caused by buyers by taking some money out from the market.

The first support at 108.717 was too strong for bears. That level did not allow the price to move down because buyers were waiting to enter and continue pushing the price higher.

Outlook for USD/JPY

The bearish pinbar near 109.269 is also on the trendline that creates additional resistance for the price. As it looks now, we could see some confluence around this level. We could see the price making another bearish signal that could drive the price down to 108.717.
