According to the Technical Analyst Team at ICN.com, “The USD/JPY upside attempts remained limited below 98.60 forcing us to keep our negative expectations today. We should point out that breaking 97.65 is significant for the downside move to extend as Linear Regression Indicators support negativity.”
