On Wednesday the USD/JPY traded within small 25 pip range. The currency couple appreciated from 101.30 to 101.57 yesterday, matching the positive money flow sentiment at nearly +7%, closing the day at 101.44. This morning the dollar ascended slightly further against the yen, reaching 101.60.

On the 1 hour chart the downward channel has slowed down, while on the 3 hour chart trading is held within wide scope. Break above yesterday's top and nearest resistance 101.62 would encourage further recovery of the dollar. Immediate support is yesterday's bottom at 101.32, and consistent break below it could strengthen the yen further down towards next target 100.45.
