USDJPY – Retail FX traders remain aggressively long the US Dollar versus the Japanese Yen, and a contrarian view of crowd sentiment warns that the USD/JPY may trade to further lows through near-term trading. The pair’s resilience at key support near ¥120 nonetheless warns that further losses are far from guaranteed, however; we’ll need to see traction below this key price floor before we can realistically call for much larger declines.
