Stochastic and the RSI are turning bearish signaling that sideways to lower prices is possible near-term. If March extends this week's decline, January's low crossing at 78.30 is the next downside target.
Closes above the reaction high crossing at 82.48 are needed to confirm that a short-term low has been posted. First resistance is the 20-day moving average crossing at 80.33. Second resistance is the reaction high crossing at 82.48. First support is today's low crossing at 78.55. Second support is January's low crossing at 78.30.
The March Japanese Yen closed higher due to short covering on Friday as it consolidated some of this week's decline but remains below the 50% retracement level of the August-January rally crossing at .10333.
The mid-range close sets the stage for a steady opening on Monday. Stochastic and the RSI are oversold but remain neutral to bearish signaling that sideways to lower prices are possible near-term.
If March extends this month's decline, the 62% retracement level of the August-January rally crossing at .10058 is the next downside target. Closes above the 20-day moving average crossing at .10795 are needed to confirm that a short-term low has been posted.
First resistance is the 10-day moving average crossing at .10525. Second resistance is the 20-day moving average crossing at .10795. First support is Thursday's low crossing at .10132. Second support is the 62% retracement level crossing at .10058.

A short covering rally tempered early losses and the mid-range close sets the stage for a steady opening on Monday.
Stochastic and the RSI are bearish signaling that sideways to lower prices is possible near-term. Multiple closes below the 20-day moving average crossing at 942.00 are needed to confirm that a short-term top has been posted.
