הערה:
All targets hit.
The pair finds strong support by hourly 20-MA at 101.67, some weakness seen on break below.
PM Abe on the wires earlier today, said he is not thinking at all of calling an early election, yen-market reaction muted thus far.
We see some consolidation ahead of the next directional move. US non-farm payrolls due Friday will likely be the main catalyst.
Our previous call (link below) has almost hit TP1&2.
We recommend booking partial profits, raise trailing stop to 101.65 and hold for targets.
