USD/JPY is closer to 103.00 every coming minute

FXStreet (Moscow) - USD/JPY slid to 102.50 area after reaching 102.72 session high.

Not a knockout yet

The pair got a knockdown from the Non-Farm Payroll data, but not a knockout meaning the comeback above 103.00 area is still a possibility especially given quite interesting events calendar for the week ahead. We must say, there are practically no first-tier fundamental releases except for ISM report, but the still going on earnings season, and the behavior of stocks and credit market may help to settle above 103.00 area again.

What are today’s key USD/JPY levels?

Today's central pivot point can be found at 102.67, with support below at 102.29, 101.96 and 101.58 with resistance above at 103.00, 103.38, and 103.71. Hourly Moving Averages are bullish, with the 200SMA bullish at 102.07 and the daily 20EMA bullish at 101.96. Hourly RSI is bearish at 47.
