Technical Analysis of USD/JPY
From the 137.00 high against the Japanese Yen, the US dollar began a downward reversal. However, the bulls were active near 135.00 as USD/JPY moved below the 136.50 support level.

Now, the pair is regaining its momentum well above the 135.00 support. On the same chart, a significant bullish trend line with support close to 135.20 is also developing.
The pair is running into resistance in the 136.50 area on the upside. The price may climb toward 137.00 if there is a clear move above the 136.50 mark. Any further advances might potentially pave the way for a new multi-year high and send the price soaring toward 138.50.

Regarding EUR/USD, the pair continued to slide downward and traded under the crucial 1.0250 support. The pair might fall to 1.0100 if the bears continue to trade.
