-USDJPY has made good upon the ‘trend extension’ setup described last week and traded to a new high.

-A bullish objective of 105.12 is derived by calculating the measured move from the 103.37-101.61 dip. A close from Oct 2008 remains uncovered at 105.30. There are also longer term trendlines to consider not far from current levels.

Trading Strategy: Long, move stop up to 102.60, target 105.10. 103.50/90 is now possible support to increase the position.

LEVELS: 103.28 103.50 103.90 | 104.50 105.30 106.13
