USD/JPY weakness only below 122.90 (21 DMA), good to buy dips
The dollar rose to 123.68 yen, a two-week high, on Wednesday, before paring gains as a big fall in oil prices prompted traders to ease off on riskier trades. USD/JPY is back from 123.68 high overnight, profit-taking seen at highs, pushing the pair lower
However, U.S. ADP data boded well for Friday's jobs report, easing concerns sparked by a soft U.S. manufacturing data on Tuesday. Hawkish comments from Yellen onernight also keep the dollar supported
Some option expiries in vicinity - 122.85-123.00 USD445 mln, 123.25 805 mln, another USD422 mln between 123.30-50 too, might contain market
Daily Techs are positive, daily charts show dips in the pair being contained by rising 21 DMA (now at 122.90) since Nov 24th, RSI and Stochs also point North
