Earlier the US labor market reports sharply increased pressure on the pound from the US dollar part and the pair not only decreased, but also broke through the consolidation range support where it was the last two weeks. The UK news will present the industrial production data in October. It is forecasted the trade balance deficit decrease to 9.5 billion with 9.8 billion pounds in October.

It suggests testing support around the 55th figure in the short term. The pair is undervalued that increases the correction continuation risk, but is not an obstacle for the further decline.

Yen

The pair USD/JPY corrected from the new local highs. The Japan clarifying GDP assessment for the third quarter indicated an even greater economic reduction than previously reported, -1.9% q/q at -1.6% q/q published after the initial calculation. The trade balance for October, -766.6 billion yen after 714.5 billion yen when we considered the deficit reduction to -569.6 billion yen.

The pair broke through the psychologically important level of 120.00 last week and rose to the level of 121.85. It should be noted that 120.00 was broken through without much effort that confirms that the uptrend is in the active phase. Nevertheless the pair decreased to the support level of 120.00-120.20.

The support levels: 120.00-120.20, and the resistance levels: 121.30-121.50.

The MACD indicator is in a positive territory.

Trading recommendations

The next bulls’ target can be the resistance near 122.40-122.60, but the pair is heavily overvalued that can slow down its further movement above. We keep a close eye on the dollar ability to consolidate above 120.00-120.20 in the case of correction to this support.
