USD/JPY challenges 123.50
FXStreet (Córdoba) - USD/JPY climbed to fresh 2-week highs on Monday propelled by the risk-on sentiment following Greek deal with creditors but stalled just shy of the 123.50 level and entered a consolidation phase over the last hours.
USD/JPY climbed more than 100 pips since opening and hit its highest level since July 2 at 123.48 before finding resistance. The pair has spent the last hours consolidating within a narrow range in the absence of news or economic indicators.
USD/JPY levels to watch
In terms of technical levels, if USD/JPY breaks decisively above 123.50, next resistances are seen at 123.70 (Jul 2 high) and 124.00 (psychological level). On the flip side, supports could be found at 122.40 (50-day SMA), 122.26 (Jul 13 low) and 122.00 (psychological level).
