Here is their view, courtesy of eFXnews:
Credit Suisse FX Technical Strategy Research argues that USD/JPY bounces from current levels looks temporary, with resistance at 110.85/111.05 now ideally capping to keep the risks directly lower to test the low of the year at 108.13.
“Below here would establish a large “triangle†continuation pattern to confirm the start of a more significant bear trend for 107.50 initially, then the 61.8% retracement of the June/December 2016 rally at 106.52, ahead of the potential uptrend from September 2012 at 105.20, where we would expect buying. Resistance moves to 110.36/44, ahead of 110.85/111.05.
Resistance moves to 110.36/44, ahead of 110.85/111.05. Above here would complete a base to turn the risk higher for 112.20 next,†CS adds.
