COMMENTARY:
USD/JPY has recovered from low of 118.48 after release of better than expected US Economic data.

US Jobless claims tumbled to 15 year low and consumer spending increased in March, signs the economy was regaining momentum in the second quarter.

Technically USD/JPY has broken major support 118.50, lack of follow through selling and current rebound above short term resistance 119.45 suggests that it has formed temporary bottom around 118.50, a jump till 120.09/120.80 cannot be ruled out.

Short term bullish invalidation level-118.16. Any break below 118.16 will drag the pair further down till 116.85/115.90 in short term.
