The USDJPY is hovering above a critical support level ahead of the US elections this week.

I’ve discussed the significance of the 104.20 support area a few times in recent weeks.

We also caught the recent breakdown from a small rising wedge on October 12th with a target of 104.20.

That 150 pip target was reached 12 days later.

So where to from here?

As long as the 106.50 area is serving as resistance on a monthly closing basis, I like USDJPY lower.

Notice how July was the first month to close beyond the symmetrical triangle.

Furthermore, USDJPY continues to carve lower highs.

This has been a pattern since February.

A series of lower highs into a critical support area like 104.20 usually suggests an imminent break lower.

But as I’ve stated recently, it’s going to take a daily close below 104.20 to expose the 101.00 region.

Alternatively, if USDJPY takes out the recent high near 106.00, it would indicate a turn higher for the pair.

Either way, I won’t be doing anything here until the dust settles following the November 3rd US elections.
