USD/JPY Higher

USD/JPY reached a high of 111.31 earlier today and is now gravitating towards the 111.00 levels. The pair reacted bullishly to yesterday's fundamentals and was picked up from a low of 110.10. Main trend on the short-term remains bearish with first bear target seen at the latest low.

Market sentiment appears to have shifted from bullish US dollar to bearish. USD/JPY was trading around 115.50 before Fed Chair raised the rates earlier this month. The rate hike affected the US dollar in a bearish way causing its peers to gain strength and momentum.

Now the US dollar looks a bit beaten down and it would need strong fundamentals or technicals so that it may shine again.
