Stochastics and the RSI are turning neutral hinting that a low might be in or is near. Closes above this month's high crossing are needed to renew the rally off January's low. If it extends last week's decline, the reaction low crossing is the next downside target.

The YEN closed higher on Friday and the highrange close sets the stage for a steady to higher opening on Monday. Stochastics and the RSI remain bullish signalling that sideways to higher prices are possible nearterm. If it extends this month's rally, the 50% retracement level of the 2011rally crossing is the next upside target. Closes below the 20day moving average crossing would confirm that a shortterm high has been posted.
