- USD/JPY bulls eye the daily resistance zone where the 61.8% ratio meets the structure near 129.60.

USD/JPY was forced lower on a bout of US Dollar strength on Thursday in an extension of the drop from the mid-point of the 130s. The price has been supported in the midpoint of the 127s and has left no bias on the carts from an immediate directional perspective until the 129.50s or the aforementioned 127.40s are broken. However, there are prospects of a meanwhile correction for the day ahead as traders get set for the US Nonfarm Payrolls data as the last puzzle of the puzzle for this week.
