USD/JPY Analysis (August 24)

The pair continues to consolidate on top of its historical low (76,00). The downside pressure is still very present but a bottom might be in place.
Considering the latest price actions, we are not necessarily bearish and we expect a continuation to the upside sooner or later, in particular with the foreseeable next BoJ intervention to curb the Yen strengh.
The first barrier to the upside is 77,20. A break above this level exposes key 78,00 resistance.
For the time being, we will remain on the sidelines as we expect some choppy price actions going forward.
