The
USDJPY dropped to 100 mark, after Bank of Japan Governor Kuroda missed the opportunity to talk about monetary policy at the FinTech Forum. Breaking the 100.00 critical level could encourage a new sell-off wave, with the next supports seen at 99.53 (August 16th low) and 98.99 (June 24th low). Surpassing the 100.93 (August 22nd high), we can expect a further rise to 101.45 resistance (August 15th high), 102.65 (August 8th high), before 103.25 (50-day moving average).

After having tested the 50-day moving average,
