Trading Expectations (USDJPY) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Wednesday 15th

For the upcoming trading day on Wednesday, 15th we expect USD/JPY to open at JP¥162.22, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between JP¥161.93 and JP¥162.52, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-JP¥0.589 (+/-0.36%) up or down from last closing price. If USD/JPY takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 0.36% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at JP¥162.45 (0.14%) than the support at JP¥161.24 (0.61%), our systems don't find the trading risk/reward intra-day attractive and any bets should be held until the stock is closer to the support level.
